Art of Weddings Bouquet #1: Modern Sunshine - Yellow, Black, & White

I created 6 very stylistically-diverse bridal bouquets for the Art of Weddings show last week. Here is the inspiration board for the first bouquet.

I love the sharp modern contrast of black and white patterns paired with striking shots of lemon yellow. I used all yellow flowers - button mums, germini, and tulips - along with black and white buttons mixed in the flowers and a black and white patterned ribbon on the stems (see pictures below).

Inspiration: Crisp, Contemporary, Fresh Detailing

Accents: black and white patterned buttons & ribbon

The Bouquet: yellow buttom mums, germini, and tulips

I am so excited to be participating in the Art of Weddings boutique bridal show in less than two weeks! I have big plans at this point and am busy with the preparations. I am creating a space based around a black, white, and turquoise dandy damask theme - bright and bold to attract all my potential brides' eyes! The other vendors that are going to be there are diverse and premium quality and should attract a unique type of Portland bride. I look forward to posting loads of pictures from the event!
