french anemone bouquet

Months ago the lovely  Laura Cassidy of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom invited me to design a bouquet based on fashion!  You all know how I LOVE to design when given a piece of inspiration, so to be given some photos of floral fashion seemed like a ton of fun!  I was the first to pick, so I of course picked bolf, lush, colorful – not knowing that Laura wanted ALL those colors in there.  Here at Bella, my designs are known for amazing.  One fo the things that makes us stand out is HOW we use color – playing colors off of each other to make them  almost luminescent!  I prefer analogous color palettes, (color next to each other on the colorwheel), so when the specs for this photoshoot came in (blue, purple, fuchsia, orange and green – all in ONE bouquet!) I have to admit, I was a bit worried!

The morning of the photoshoot, as I was creating the bouquet, it all fell into place…I found the most stunning orange poppies, the coolest blue thistles, and this amazing green pine that had the most amazing cascading feel to it…The neat things about photoshoots and designing something based on purely an inspirational item is that you get to allow creativity to come in naturally, and that because if this, you see things around you differently.  Had I been given a picture by a bride with the instructions “replicate this”, the creativity , and therefore the piece itself, would undoubtedly been less innovative.  What do you think?
