What can be said about the bouquet? It’s at the center of the magic that is a wedding! Whether loose and leafy or full and petite, bridal bouquets are an expression of your most personal taste. We love garden-inspired bouquets here at Pollen, ideally utilizing local and seasonal flowers for a bouquet that is not only beautiful, but sustainable too! It’s hard to pick favorites, but good thing that’s not necessary! Instead, here is a breadth of memorable moments that capture just how versatile and personal bouquets can be.
Our very own designer, Michelle, was married last September at the Columbus Park Refectory. She planned a classic, garden party style wedding, with a color palette of taupe, mauve, blush, and ivory, with pops of burgundy. The garden-style bridesmaids’ bouquets coordinated with each other without being identical, and included Quicksand roses, burgundy scabiosa, viburnum berries, Japanese anemone, black Queen Anne’s lace, ninebark, and English ivy.
