Wedding Wednesday: BLOOMS!

Taking a look at pretty blooms today.  We hear often that people just don't know what flower options are out there beyond roses, lilies, etc.  We are going to show you several interesting flowers that open up to big beautiful blooms for a full lush bouquet or centerpiece.  Many of these varieties can also be easy to arrange yourself. 

Peonies are an all-time favorite of ours and although these flowers can be expensive ($10 or so a stem), they make such an impact and are so beautiful, that you can use fewer of them to create something stunning. They are seasonal, however, so the best time to have peonies is late Spring and early Summer.

Lisianthus are a gorgeous, fairly reasonably priced big bloom flower that offers a different look, but still lush and full.  They are also a very hearty flower, can last in a vase for up to three weeks, so they are great for outdoor weddings and can stand up to heat.  These gorgeous flowers are also known as Texas Blue Bells.  They come in a VARIETY of colors.

Lisianthus grow in warm weather climates and are native to southern US states.  Known to grow on prairies and in the wild, which is rare or such a beautiful cultured flower.   

Love this purple and white bouquet with lucite square vase.  So chic, simple and impactful.

 A bouquet like this is so stunning and will have your guests asking "What are those gorgeous flowers?"

Oh how we love the next and final flower:  Ranunculas are such a special pretty flower.  They can be found year-round and come in a variety of flowers and even sometimes in two tones.  They are gorgeous in a bouquet with other flowers or alone and look like someone picked them right out of a romantic garden especially for YOU!
