According to Belgian tradition the groom chooses the brides bouquet, which he presents to her when he comes to collect her from her family home before the wedding. We'll be changing this a little because my groom didn't know about this tradition till last night and I don't have a family home here. Since I've already been thinking quite a bit about my flowers, I think I'll order them and he'll bring them to me at his family home :-).
I want them to reflect the floral pattern of my shoes. So far all I know is that I want poppies (or those flowers that look like poppies, I think they are called anemonies), blue hydrangeas (my favorite), billy buttons and/or tiny daisies and coral coloured peonies.
I really love the bouquet in the first picture, with all the bright colours hiding behind the white poppy-like flowers, I'm going to try to get something like that.
But I also really like a random bunch that looks like it was just picked from a magical flower field, similar to the two pictures above.
For the table flowers we are either going to find a local flower market and buy fresh flowers on the morning of the wedding and arrange them by flower type in small glass vases ourselves or ask the florist to order them for us. Like in the picture above. Thanks Martha. We are also thinking of mixing framed photos of our parents and grandparents weddings and tealight candles amongst the flowers. I'm trying to find pretty frames from second hand stores that I'll spray paint (probably white or turquoise), but not having much luck so far.
