DREAM WEAVER

It’s the unexpected kick, that hidden (or statement-making) bridal twist: The Braid. Whether Dutch, French, Grecian or simply fishtail, the options are endless. Tuck a tiny traditional ribbon in a sleek chignon, double-rope-wrap as a headdress or even stream a small number through a pixie. Make them soft and feminine or edgy and out there; add strands of silver or gold, flowers or berries, or wear them in pure form. Whichever way you twist it, they make a versatile, beautiful wedding-day do.

Much love,
Jessica Elliott

This wedding took place at the mid-century modern Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Estate in Palm Springs, CA! We love all the vintage mod details: her dress, the cake topper, and look at those corsages! Shot by the super talented Yuna Leonard (www.yunaleonard.com)

Inspired by the season and their location (the backyard of Katie’s childhood home), Katie and Walker used a spring-y green, white and ivory color palette to plan an “informally elegant” wedding.

Ribbon, Lace, and Streamers are BOW-TIFUL!

Luxe silk ribbons, patterned grosgrain,  and vintage lace are all great ways to wrap up your pretty bouquet. Think of adding a family heirloom or sentimental charm to really personalize your big day blooms!

frida-esque

Frida Kahlo is a symbol of beauty, creativity, and strength and infamous for her emblematic self portraits. She inspires my work with flowers and head pieces more specifically. Since we are celebrating a week of Cinco de Mayo,  here on the blog, I decided to  treat myself to a Frida-esque make-over!  I rounded up one of my good friends and fellow florist Nicole Hammontree with The Wooly Thistle to help me create a few master pieces.
