Add a little oomph to your wedding flowers and accessories

There's always the vanilla/traditional way of doing things, but sometimes you feel like you want to add an extra oomph to your wedding flowers and accessories. Taking a fresh and out-of-the-box approach while planning your wedding, allows you to infuse some uniqueness into your wedding. It could be anything from infusing traditions from other cultures, to recreating the hottest designs on the runway.

 Over the past year or so, we have noticed an upward trend in the use of brooches to create unique and glamorous bouquets. 'Bling' is definitely in! 

Accessorising your bouquet with brooches, pearls or diamante will definitely make your bouquet stand out, and will make a fabulous gift for whoever catches is (that is if you have the will power to throw such a gorgeous bouquet :) ) and if your florist is creative enough or your imagination is wild enough, you can have a movie themed bouquet... think 'Great Gatsby'

Below is another bridal picture we totally adore!!! 

The added detail included as part of the lining of the wedding dress is just gorgeous. It exudes a sense of individuality and non-conformance to traditional expectations.

Also, the floral hairpiece and bouquet have a whimsical look and feel, with the added touch of a hand made patterned-ribbon bow!The colors are definitely very festive and eye-catching!

The floral garlands (aka 'Jai Mala') worn below by the bride and groom at an Indian wedding ceremony are so beautiful and reflective of their tradition.

The 'Jai Mala' ceremony is when the bride welcomes and greets her groom by putting the floral garland 'Jai Mala' around his neck. This also signifies that she has accepted him as her husband.

Technically, the exchange of 'Jai Malas' can be seen as being the same as the exchange of wedding rings at a white wedding. The garlands signify an eternal bond that can never be broken

We love the 'Jai Malas' in this picture!!!
