late {Floral Friday} Vintage Pink, Ivory, & Gold

Good morning everyone and welcome back for another late {Floral Friday}!
This week has been all about a vintage palette in Pink, Ivory, and Gold so let's take a look at some great floral inspirations!

{Centerpieces & Decorations}
Since this palette really creates a soft atmosphere, simple and elegant is key. Ivory and pink roses are classic and perfect for a vintage theme.

{Bouquets}
For your bouquets, you want to keep them simple and elegant just like your centerpieces and decorations. However, there are some great additions that you can make to really give them a vintage feel. Some great examples are wrapping your bouquet stems in satin ribbon, decorating them with antique brooches or pins, or hanging pictures of your family's weddings.




{Boutonnieres}

Check in later today for a Weekend Wedding in vintage Pink, Ivory, and Gold. Don't forget to cast your for next week's December theme AND email in your nomination for your favourite wedding movie!

Floral Friday - Vintage Travel Edition

Hello all and welcome to a (late) Floral Friday!
This whole week I have been focusing on a Vintage Travel theme, but just as it was with the cakes, when it comes to the flowers, there really are no boundaries! Since there is no specific colour palette that you should follow, you are pretty much free to do what you feel, although softer colours do compliment a vintage theme much better than brighter ones.
To keep your flowers feeling vintage, try classic silk bouquets and boutonnieres. Feathers, herbs, and plants are also great for harkening back to a vintage theme. Or for a more whimsical feeling, why not try a bouquet of buttons or felt flowers? There are also some great ideas that you could use if you really want to stick specifically with your travel theme. Wrapping your the stems of your bouquets in vintage postcards or stamped and hand addressed envelopes are great ways to compliment your travel theme without detracting from the the look of your flowers. Check out these great bouquets that will perfectly compliment any Vintage Travel theme!
Enjoy!
