All Things Orchid

My fav find this week is fabulous. It is by far my favorite bouquet! Can I just say I love all things orchid? So, combine orchids with this rich color and style, and well, you have just discovered my favorite arrangement.



This bouquet, made of purple vanda orchids, orange mokara orchids and green dendrobium orchids, was created by Irvine Village Flowers and photographed by Travis Hoehne out of California. If you like this preview, see more of the wedding at love & splendor.

And since I'm sharing only my personal opinion in bouquets, I though I would share a little tid bit about mine! My wedding was classy and traditional with, oh, just a pop of my personality! And my bouquet followed suite.



It was pure white with simple style, while my bridesmaids bouquets stole all the rich color! However, my bouquet had a lot of meaning. My mom and grandmother shared something special in their bouquets - stephanotis - the tiny star like flowers with pearled centers. So I thought I would carry on the tradition by also having stephanotis in my bouquet - the perfect accent! Among the white roses and tulips I, of course, had to add the cymbidium orchids! I was thrilled, shocked, amazed (you pick) when the Thursday before my wedding I found an old newspaper clip from Mother Dear's, my dad's mom, wedding announcement. Her bouquet was made of all cascading orchids. Perfect! A little bit of everyone to walk down the aisle with me!

My bouquet was created by Luis Andrade of Dallas, TX and was photographed by Photogenic Images.
