Boho-Chic Inspired Wedding

The moment we met Paige, we loved her style. We called it "Free People" inspired. We're talking lace embellishments, organic-inspired materials, and very casual--yet elegant and chic. The process of creating this wedding was also a blast! We loved the wood and tin plant boxes mixed with tin cans (covered in lace). The whole wedding had a casual and fun vibe with the perfect mix of a black tie event.

For the flowers, we used a lot of succulents, grasses, airplants, and other earthy elements. Green and brown bottles helped to enhance the organic color scheme. Most bridal bouquets have lots of flowers, but Paige wanted something with grasses, pods, airplants, and almost NO flowers. It was truly beautiful, and an honor to be part of a wedding that was different from anything else we have ever seen.

A big thanks to Paige's amazing wedding coordinator Stacie Truitt of Gatherings by Stacie. 

The bride surprised the mothers with fresh flower bracelets. We think these are a great alternative to corsages, so we teamed up with Wedding Chicks to create this DIY.

We are wishing Paige and Chase the very best! Working with them was an amazing experience, not only because they are so sweet, but because they incorporated their unique style into every aspect of their wedding. Definitely spreading floral love at its best!

What's The Must-Have Flower For Your Wedding? - Part 5: Ranunculus

    
Ranunculus
Season: Grows abundantly in Spring, also available in late summer from Chile
Price:  In spring they can be very affordable.
Colors: red, white, yellow, pink, hot pink, orange, purple/plum, peach
Meaning: Maybe because of the Ranunculus' bright colors or because it's petals form the cutest layers, the Ranunculus is said to symbolize charm, admiration, and attraction.  It can also be referred to as the "buttercup" flower.
Cool Fact: You can visit the Carlsbad Flower Fields each Spring to see the stunning acres of Ranunculus blooms. Seriously, the fields are filled with rows and rows of gorgeous, brightly colored Ranunculus blooms!

Why we LOVE them: Ranunculus blooms are perfect for soooo many things! They are the perfect size for boutonnieres (not too large or small), GREAT for bouquets, are bold enough to stand on their own as a centerpiece, and can fit any wedding style (rustic, modern, vintage, ethereal).  They just happen to be Stacey, the owner's favorite flower :)  Randi, our new assistant loves them too!
