When I told everyone I wanted baby’s breath everywhere, they looked at me with disdain. It’s cheap. It’s a filler flower. Yes, I know, and I want it! I wanted to invoke a certain feel to the day and I was convinced baby’s breath would help me do it!
While I was at it–I threw some carnations in the mix!
And perhaps some plain greenery?
I saved on some flowers and splurged on others!
Even for the day after pics–the flowers held up pretty well!

Wow, I would really never have thought that baby breath would be so romantic and really pretty!
I love the intial sign and the halo’s on the flowergirls!
Very nice touch!
when i first saw that image of the church entrace, I was in aw! So pretty and romantic.
I’m glad you stuck to your vision. The baby’s breath really creates such a light airy feeling. The flower girl crowns were adorable!
Its more about how you use something more than what you use. Kudos to you. Everything looks fabulous!
I do think baby’s breath on its own is nice. And I love to tuck bunches of it in my christmas tree branches. So lovely.
Your flowers are gorgeous, and I enjoy reading your posts. Your wedding looks like it was fabulous.
Wow - The door flowers are so beautiful, very light and airy. Did you make them yourself? What is the backing?
i really love the babys breath on the girls! i think i’ll show it to my florist
Ooh I love all your floral details– so pretty and feminine.
What kind of flowers are in your bouquet and in the centerpiece under the picture of the greenery? They’re gorgeous!
You’re wedding was so beautiful. I especially loved the shabby chic elements that you incorporated. Gorgeous!
I wanted a bouquet completely made of babys breath and had EXACTLY the same reactions from everyone as you had. Changed to green hydrangeas then, which were beautiful, but nevertheless I can absolutely understand your love for Babys breath 
btw: In German Babys breath is called Schleierkraut, which you can roughly translate with: Veil herb… So its kind of perfect for a wedding
Greetings from Germany!
Nicely done.
You look so ethereal in that shot with your flower girls — lovely!
My florist actually did them. I’m not sure if it’s just plain cardboard or not. I’ll have to investigate! They actually are nice and dried and we are going to hang them in the guest bedroom. My shabby chic room in the house!
i was watching top model yesterday and i thought of ur entry when the girl had to be baby’s breath, and she kept saying omg i love baby’s breath.
So pretty! I’ve always loved the look of just baby’s breath, it’s so ethereal!
Wow. My wife loves baby’s breath but never thought to do something that bold. Don’t always listen to the experts.
as for the flowers in teh bouquets…let me see if I can remember.
David Austin roses: they are as close to peonies as you can get!
cymbidium orchids, lizianthus and freesia, sweat peas, and the green drippy stuff on my bouquet is amaranthus. hth!
[...] Thank you, Mrs. Strawberry! [...]
That’s sooo pretty and feminine! Romantic!
Mrs. Strawberry.. how did you hang the wreath on the door (you know… without “damaging” the door surface)?
Also… did you DIY your wreaths?
Thanks to your post, I was able to find more ways to use baby’s breath on my wedding… I actually plan to use it as a bouquet…. yup that’s it …no big flowers… just plain and simple… =)
