Bridal Bouquet
Here is a link to a video that shows the bridal bouquet I did recently (and forgot to take photos of!). The video/photos are done by Wayman Studio (www.waymanstudio.com). I definitely recommend them! They did my little brother's wedding photography, and everything turned out beautifully.

Website links
Since I can't scan in and post all the floral examples I have from my books and magazines, I thought it would be nice to provide an online source of other people's floral portfolios for your viewing pleasure. It is interesting to see the different styles and color choices. Looking at a variety of options may just help you find something you love (and that might even be something you never expected to love).

I really like that this website is easy to navigate and has a good variety of floral work. Notice she has sections for bouquets, wearables, cakes, centerpieces, etc. Take a look and see what you like!

Great photography and fun ideas! I liked both the website and the blog.
Fleurs de France

WIDE variety of bold colors and flower combinations. I really like a lot of these bouquets, boutonnieres, and cakes. Go to the "portfolio" tab and navigate through the "personal flowers" and "weddings" sections.
I will be on the lookout for more portfolios to share. Like in most things, seeing someone else's work can help inspire your own to be better!

Cascading Bouquets
Well, I just made a beautiful cascading bouquet with yellow lilies and spray roses, pale green carnations, and stephanotis with purple pearl pin accents....but alas! I forgot to take a photo before delivering it. So hopefully the bride will save a photo for me. :) Good thing I get to re-create the bouquet for her wedding day in a few weeks.

Good examples of cascading bouquets are harder to find online, but I'll post any more that I find! And let me know if you find any, too.
Cascading bouquets are generally arranged into a bouquet holder (basically a floral foam ball in a plastic holder with a handle). This makes them easy to hold and keeps the flowers hydrated. Cascading bouquets are also "faced", meaning they are meant to be viewed from one direction. Because you don't need flowers on the back side, you can have a larger bouquet for not much more money than you'd spend on a traditional hand-tied bouquet. They use about the same amount of flowers!
There are several types of cascading bouquets, ranging from the traditional "tear drop" shape (full and round at the top and tapering toward the bottom) to modern varieties with a few individual flowers forming the cascade and lending a more "airy" look to the bouquet.
