Wedding bouquets can turn out to be beautiful, and are in fact one of the most photographed items of your wedding. However, if you are not the typical bride then you need a not-so-typical bouquet. Instead, walk down the aisle with a gorgeous jeweled bouquet. They are everlasting, sophisticated, and will make you stand out on your big day. Just don't be surprised if guests are snapping pictures all night of your blinged-out bouquet! Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Ombre Bridal Procession

by Nicole

One way to make your bridal procession stand out is by incorporating ombre into it. Depending on your color scheme for your wedding, you can add varying shades of your color choice into the bridesmaid dresses. The first bridesmaid down the aisle would wear the darkest color. The colors will fade as each bridesmaid walks down the aisle until the bride walks in wearing white. This idea also works well with your bridal bouquets! Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Footwork Friday

By Marla
If you want to do something different for shoes, this is a great idea for a summer wedding. Have each person in your bridal party wear a different color shoe. You can match the bouquet of each bridesmaid to the shoe, then have all the colors match in the brides bouquet. You can even match the shoe colors of the accessories as well. This is a very fun and colorful look to make your wedding a little more unique! Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Peony

By Marla
Peony seems to be the hot flower for weddings this year, and I can't agree more. Peony comes in many different colors and also adds volume to flower arrangements. You can mix and match different colors and flowers with peony, or just have them all by themselves. Adding peony to the wedding cake or in a prop for a center piece gives a very classic, but unique addition to the wedding. Be inspired.

The options are endless! This adds a little character and variety to your special day. Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Baby's Breath Bouquet

By Marla
I absolutely adore these bouquets! Baby's Breath is my recent obsession! These flowers are generally used as a flower arrangement filler. However, usuing just Baby's Breath to make up the bouquet or even as a center piece can really make a little delicate flower look absolutely beautiful. Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Sentimental Bouquets

By Julie

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…what will you be carrying with you on your wedding day?  Carrying something meaningful in your bouquet is a great way to remember a loved one or an cherished memory.  Brides have been known to carry rosaries, cameos, lockets, and even their mother or grandmother’s wedding dress sleeves on the stems of their bouquets.  Something so little can have such a big impact that day :) Be inspired.
