Storybook wedding flowers shape a summer event
Flowers set the mood for formal and informal summer weddings. Crepe and peau de soie gowns feature Empire waists and A lines with long trains. Bouquets in a single seasonal theme use fan or cascading shapes to complement daisies and the bridesmaids.
European bridal flowers gain favor in American weddings
Carnations form a demure bridal bouquet while roses and ivy leaves offer a sophisticated look. Light pastel blossoms may mix with white flowers for a European style, with florists advised to view the ceremony site and extend the floral theme to reception decor. For the honeymoon corsage, a single large bloom or small cluster is suggested.
