we adore flowers and believe they truly lend to the look and feel of a wedding day! it's summertime and lucky for you brides there are endless options available. here are some pretty petaled palettes to inspire the look your going after...

{a} a girly and glamorous bouquet can be achieved through large fluffy flowers and vintage broaches, by dillon douglas design ; {b} succulents with peacock feathers strike a uniquely perfect balance, bouquet created by the bride of this fabulous school-themed wedding; {c} these multi-colored ranunculus and tiny dotted wild flowers make this bouquet feel like an explosion of confetti, by merriment events; {d} an oversized protea makes a modern statement, bouquet by bows and arrows; {e} patterned pinwheels mixed with flowers are whimsical for a laid back beach wedding, bouquet handmade by the bride and her friends; {f} a simple and graphic bouquet created with only two things, all white peonies and striped ribbon, by e.g. geddes inc.; {g} poppies and peonies with lots of loose ribbons are fun for a fiesta, by bows and arrows.

hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! i (chey) spent sunday afternoon surrounded by palms, orchids, and the sound of relaxing hawaiian music at the philadelphia flower show. the flower show has always been a favorite past time of mine and this year's theme was hawaii. the most impressive exhibits greeted you as you walked in the door -- a favorite of mine was the towering tropical plant canopy (middle left). can you imagine walking down the wedding aisle beneath this?! another favorite was this tropical ombre table runner (above) by sullivan owen for 'a wedding in the park', a collaboration with starr events. what a gorgeous way to dress up your head table or couple's table.

if you're local i recommend stopping by the show during a week day to avoid some of the crowds. you'll be rewarded with the most beautiful saturated colors and amazing scents that will do wonders for your winter blues!

a little something i brought home to adorn my desk. from linden hill gardens.
