Part III: Wedding Bouquets

If you haven't joined Pinterest yet, you really should...especially if you're planning a wedding. 

It's a plethora of fabulousness.  You can find countless recipes, decor options, lighting possibilities, attire choices, perfect photography and tons of oh-so-lovely flowers.  So, on this chilly Monday morning, I've rounded up some of my recent favorites for Part III of our Wedding Bouquet Series.  (Find Part I and Part II here.)  There's a mix of different textures, seasonal flowers, color palettes and styles.  Hopefully one of these beauties will give you that perfect bit of inspiration that has been the missing link to your wedding day vision...

Spring Flowers

With wedding season in full swing and the gorgeous weather we've had the past few weeks,
I thought I'd share some of our favorite springtime flowers (and a few pointers!) with our brides already in the mix of planning their 2012 Lowcountry Wedding.  Hope you enjoy!

Daffodils

These little cuties are the epitome of spring!

It's best to keep them separate from other flowers due to a certain sap they secrete.  But no worries, they seem to make quite the statement without the help of others.

Flowering Branches

Don't you just love this time of the year when the branches start bloomin'?  These eye-catching branches will add height to any ballroom and can magically transform a reception space. 
They're sure to make a big statement.

Tulips

I love tulips, I can't help it, they just make me happy. 
One of my favorite characteristics is their versatility.  Going for an elegant feel? Try the classic French Tulips.  Feeling fun and sassy?  How bout the Apricot Parrot Tulips.  Take a look at all the different ways you can incorporate these springtime favorites into your wedding day.
(We've even included a tulip chandelier!)

Magnolia

This oh-so southern flower blooms early in the spring season.  While their classic blooms and fragrant aromas scream Southern, this flower can be extremely fragile so make sure to check with your floral designer for the best way to incorporate them into your big day!

Peonies

Hands down, this is my favorite flower.  I could "research" these beauties all day long (and I just might!).  They are available May thru June-ish in a wide range of colors, so plan accordingly because they make a stunning bouquet.

Boutonnieres {Wedding Details}

Ahh, boutonnieres (Did spell that right? I can never remember).  Everybody's favorite little accessory to tie our  fellas wedding day attire together.  We've gathered our favorite bouts from some of the city's top florist (actually there are too many for just one post!) 

From calla lillies and ranunculus to palmetto roses and cotton, we've compiled a wide range of boutonnieres that showcase that Lowcountry Charm.

Which one's your fav?
