And the Bride Carried... a Salad



Ok, that sounds silly.  However, for a recent bridal show, bloom boxx decided to take our love of all things green in an interesting, beautiful "earthy" direction.  Seen here, our bride's bouquet is made up of beautiful green vibernum, hypericum berries, moss and ivy.  In addition to these floral items, this bouquet also contains fresh kale and rosemary!  Keeping in mind that this IS in fact a bridal bouquet, and not salad fixings, we added a touch of glam by wrapping the stems in a beautiful green/brown fabric topped off with a leaf-shaped brooch featuring crystals in shades of green.  The matching ring-style centerpiece uses the same flowers and "ingredients", yet replaces the kale with fresh basil and thyme.  Have fun with flowers!  Mixing other elements with florals is not only a way to do something a little different, it's cost-effective and in this case brings adds a lovely herbal fragrance.
