It seems that many people are afraid of this wispy little flower because of its common affiliation with out-dated styles and designs. I have pulled together some pictures to prove those myths wrong!  And that baby’s breath, when used in the right way, can be a perfect touch to any wedding. Enjoy!

 

 

 I Love the details in the following couple photos. Baby’s Breath is so sweet and soft, and I cant get over how beautiful and full the wreaths and centerpieces are.

Don’t be afraid be afraid of this sweet white bloom, it has a look and feel all its own. Simplistic, romantic and  at times absolutely breathtaking.

They have such a genuine love for each other and it is evident in everything they do. I had such a blast doing the flower for their October wedding. Fall colors are one of my favorites to work with and  just love the mokara orchids in this arrangement. So here are a few photos from their special day, Enjoy!

Isn’t Jacqui just stunning, she as just beaming at her new husband! I love it!

The whole bridal party. Weren’t the girls dresses fabulous?

I LOVE these flowers!!
