Every bride wants to shine on her wedding day. To make this dream a
reality, fashion designers are embellishing their gowns with delicate
details that sparkle and shimmer.
Likewise, floral designers can do the same, adding jewels, metallic
wires and other glimmering accents to their botanical creations. This
amazing array of bouquets and boutonnieres demonstrates the luminescence
that can be realized with a few twinkling touches.

When little girls begin
planning their wedding days, this is the kind of romantic
bouquet that each one dreams of, in which gorgeous pearly white
florals effuse from their hands in a lavish cascade. Lending to
the fairy-tale elegance, rhinestone-trimmed pearl pins are
inserted into the centers of the snow-white Ranunculi. The
hand-tied gathering is slipped into a pearl-trimmed tussie
holder, completing the dreamy image.

‘White Mikado’ and ‘Polar Star’ spray roses from Royal Flowers

A multicolored cluster of breathtaking Ranunculi varieties,
inserted into the midst of an ocher-hued Hydrangea blossom which

collar of looping lily grass. A crystalline garland, woven around the
bouquet’s perimeter and threaded through some of the loops, lends
sparkle.
