Yesterday, I posted the floral checklist that I used when interviewing florists. Since it’s dreary, wintry, and barren outside (Boston winters are so… blech), I thought I’d bring in a little virtual spring by sharing some of the inspiration photos I brought to my florist meetings.
And I love the idea of mismatched bridesmaid bouquets. I was thinking that each of my six sisters/friends of honor could carry a small posy made of a single type of bloom from my bouquet.
The same lush, English garden look would carry over to the reception centerpieces, which would include low arrangements in silver, pewter, or mercury glass vases.

As you can see, I have champagne taste and a Martinelli budget. I hope they sell mercury glass at IKEA…
What’s your floral aesthetic? Do you have any favorite floral artists?

“champagne taste and a Martinelli budget” — wait, aren’t you getting married at the Ritz? You must have at least a Pimm’s budget. 
@sonya: Hee hee. I used to have a Pimm’s budget, before the Ritz collected their first two payments. Now I just drink apple juice. That I steal from children.
I love those pink and yellow bouquets (bride’s maid inspiration), I may have to steal that for me
ahh, thank you for the virtual spring! Love your inspiration photos.
“Now I just drink apple juice. That I steal from children.” Hahahhaa! On a side note, did you know that they don’t serve Martinelli’s in the chubby little glass bottle anymore? Its plastic now. That half ruins it for me.
Anyway, love the flowers. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Love the idea of different bridesmaid bouquets! I heart R. Jack Balthazar’s floral work. I fell in love with them, inquired about prices, and then promptly fell out of love with them.

About Me:
I am a professional student by day and an amateur cupcake taster, bargain shopper, and wedding planner by night. I am obsessed with NPR, the Food Network, paper, dance shows, Anthropologie, post-structuralist theory, Weddingbee!, "The Office," and celebrity gossip. When not procrastinating from my dissertation, I spend time catering to Jellyby, our overly anxious shih tzu, and getting to know Mr. Hot Cocoa. We have only been dating for fifteen years, so it's like I'm in love with a stranger! From the East Coast, we are planning a Jewish-Chinese Extravaganza in L.A., where we both grew up.
