The tradition of a bride carrying flowers down the aisle is rooted in ancient customs. Whether bearing herbs and spices to ward off evil spirits or hand-picked flowers to signify a new life together, the bridal bouquet has stood the test of time and continues to evolve in styles and arrangements.
Choose local, seasonal flowers and greens to highlight the essence of your surroundings, or incorporate your all-time favorite blossoms into your statement piece for the day. Flowers offer fragrance, style, color, and texture, and are the bride’s primary accessory for this most special day.

Nothing dresses up a simple (or fancy) gown like a floral arrangement with a stunning color palette

For an outdoor wedding in the mountains, hand-tied bouquets with that “fresh-picked” style, pairing locally grown shrubs with gorgeous, fragrant florals, highlight the smells and colors of the season and add texture and nuance to your wedding day style.

Nothing dresses up a simple gown like a floral arrangement with a stunning color palette. Rich floral tones can be complemented by softer hues. Keep it simple with a posy bouquet that features mostly flowers of similar length and style, or embellish with cascading greenery for a more dramatic look.
