Bridal Bouquets: Design, Style, and Color

The bride's bouquet is arguably the second most important part of her outfit (the top is the wedding dress, of course!). Bouquets can be based on themes like rustic, modern, tropical, or traditional. Remember, that many flowers are seasonal. If you fall in love with a certain bouquet or flower, ask us about the availability! All the bouquets in the photos below have been made by Penny of Charleston Elopements.

You will have choice of color and accent color! However, flowers are natural, and some colors can be different from the exact one you may envision. The bouquets below are "coral" bouquet requests. You can see the many shades of pink/orange/coral.

We work with a wholesale florist to obtain the best and freshest flowers.

Flowers are ordered 3-4 weeks prior to your wedding for the best chance of receiving your flowers. We love photos of bouquets, and will use them as inspiration, however we cannot guarantee specific flowers.
