I had the chance back in August, to work with myKPW on a photo shoot. I was challenged to create four unique bouquets for brides getting married at different times of the day. My concept was to coordinate the time of day with flowers and colors I felt were appropriate considering the time of their ceremony. The four different times were morning, afternoon, late afternoon, and evening. Check out my design for the afternoon ceremony below along with my thoughts during the process!

Thoughts: An early afternoon wedding can be playful and fun–but always elegant!  The bolder take on the palette in the bouquet was “contained” by surrounding the colors in coral fern.  For the wrap I used a Sophisticated & Serious Green Dupioni Silk, but cuffed it with a bright, vintage-feel silk rosette.
