November – 2014 – Rouge&Co.

Since I am not yet the proud owner of a small boutique, most of my initial contact with future brides is via e-mail, so it may sound a bit strange, but I love waking up in the morning and checking my e-mail. One morning I woke up and had an inquiry from a bride who had seen my work featured in Wedding Bells, her name was Lucie. Lucie and Jamie are fabulous point final ! She wanted her bouquet to be huge and to look as though she had just run through a field. Lucie and Jamie wanted bright bold colours keeping within the pinks, oranges and yellows. I was already pretty excited just by the colour pallet, then she said the magical word….Flower Crown…now for those of you out there who don’t happen to follow flower trends,the flower crown has really taken off in the past couple of years along with garden roses. I had yet to have the opportunity to create one for a bride, myself yes, but a bride no. They are challenging and nerve racking to say the least,and not everyone can pull it off. Lucie however rocked that flower crown! Congratulations Lucie and Jamie!

I met Sabrina through a good friend of mine Nadia about three years ago now. Even though our paths tended to cross only at major events such as weddings and baby showers, both for Nadia I might add, she was always extremely friendly, and a delight to talk to. She and John wanted only one variety of flower for their wedding, and that was the calla lily. There is something about the crisp lines of the calla that make it so appealing, and when used with no other flowers it tends to highlight its best features all the more. Although i must admit that they beauty of the flowers are being over shadowed by those amazing pumps and the bride of course !
