My Vintage Passion – From Bouquets to
Décor
Vintage is
everywhere today and to be honest who doesn’t love a bit of a vintage touch?
For me this
means 3 things:
·
*Unique
·
*Style
·
*Inspired by
a past era
Vintage
style is perfect to incorporate into bridal bouquets and floral décor, after
all the tradition of weddings and ‘the big white dress’ has remained in essence
the same over time.
Vintage
style is summed up by one of the true icons of a past era:
‘In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different’
‘Fashion fades, only style remains the same’

Bouquets
A lot of my work is inspired by the past and a drive to make
something truly different and unique at the same time.

The 'Peachy Pearl Bouquet' features soft antique looking roses in muted
shades of golden peach and is finished with pearl clusters – how very Chanel!
The Popular 'Cherry Vintage
Bouquet' was recently ordered by a Bride for a 'Great Gatsby' themed wedding -
now what is more vintage style than the roaring 20's - think pearls, feathers
and elegance

Décor Inspiration
A favourite
piece of decor designed by Cherry Blossom Bouquets – Antique gold birdcages
filled with different shades of pink silk flowers and wrapped with pearls.

I loved the way my customer styled the arrangements in a marquee wedding
celebration - simple ivory drapes, chandeliers and a few birdcages have
set the scene beautifully for a very special occasion.

How Best to
Incorporate the Vintage theme into your occasion?
·
Make sure you use the
best quality silk flowers your budget allows – this will add a touch of luxury
and elegance
·
Make use of cut glass
bowls and vases to display your flowers
·
Use feathers, pearls
and tall candlesticks to add an extra dimension to your theme, but do remember
to go easy on the feathers!
·
Muted colours always
work best – soft ivory, peaches, pinks and lilacs will always look the part.
Much Love
