fall wedding flowers bejeweled with indian corn
I love fall. It is most definitely my favorite season. So of course I love fall weddings and the autumnal color palette for flower bouquets. I was really into the beautiful jeweled colors of mini indian corn and decided to include them in the bridal bouquets. Have you ever really looked at indian corn when the light is hitting it just right? Like little gems on a cob. Greenery and berries from our natural environment added texture and gave a wilder look to the classic callas and roses.
my bouquet's on fire.
Flaming Dahlias
I had never seen this variety of dahlia before this summer.
Large blooms with flaming petals. Pretty amazing.
I put this bouquet together for friends of ours. I like to wrap bouquets in different types of fabrics like muslin or burlap. For this bouquet I used a natural canvas. It supported those giant dahlia stems very well.
petals of sunshine
zinnia
If a sunny happy day were a flower I think it would be a zinnia.
oh dahlia!
I love dahlia season. This variety in particular is one of my favorites. So round with tight little mounds of colored petals.
The way the petals are formed makes me think of the kids who could curl their tongues in school. I always wished I could do that.
what happens when you decide not to eat the artichoke...
The petals just keep opening...
and it's a purple thistle like flower! Amazing!
