Blush + Bashful

This month in Elegant Bride Magazine (Fall 2008, pages 132-137), there is an article dedicated to the idea of using “lush blossoms and aromatic herbs” in your bridal bouquet. I love it. I only wish they had made it scratch-and-sniff!

Here are the enticing combinations they suggest:

Summer breeze:
Peonies, mint, oregano, fresh blackberries with burgandy dahlias, chocolate cosmos, chocolate scabiosa, Queen Anne’s lace, and lilies of the valley

Aromatherapy:
Calla lilies, roses, scented geranium leaves, and winter wheat with chamomile

Bright Bunch:
Purple sage, black pepper, garden roses, and passion fruit vine

Perennial favorite:
Sweet hosta leaves with mini calla lilies

Harvest Blooms:
Latin beauty roses, parrot tulips, and hypericum berries with fresh sage

Among the Wildflowers:
Agastache and dusty miller with Spanish lavender and oregano

Check out the magazine for the incredible photos then talk to your florist about adding a little extra fragrance to your bouquet.
