Dried Wedding Flowers...

Another beautiful fall day here in Kentucky - BUT my thoughts are very much on the people facing the devastating weather on the Eastern Coast. 

 

A while back I was asked to make some dried floral arrangements for a wedding.  I have made many wedding bouquets over the years but never a "dried" one believe it or not.  This beautiful bride knew exactly what she wanted and armed with pictures from Pinterest - here is what we came up with.

 

Simple and rustic for her "harvest-style" wedding...

 

 

The boutonnieres were simply made up of preserved leaves, wheat, some centers from purple cone flower, caspia, a needle-like burgundy dyed greenery, a touch of burlap and all tied up with twine.

 

 

 

A few corsages for the MOTB, MIL and others were a lil' larger with some preserved lime-light hydrangea and golden yarrow mixed in.

 

 

 

And lastly for the beautiful bride, Jade, and her attendants - small handheld bunches of all the flowers tied with burlap and twine.

 

 

 A few pearl pins just for the bride - still she wanted nothing fancy...

 

 

 

Her attendants were the same just a bit smaller.

 

 

 

I wouldn't hesitate to use dried flowers again - they really did turn out pretty I think - especially for this time of year. 

 

 

Best wishes Jade and Andrew - hope you have a lifetime of happiness.
