bouquet
A cascading bouquet, of grand proportions, is
designed for a bride who wants to make a dramatic—
and environmentally responsible—statement.
Floral design by Shelly Huynh-Lewis, AIFD, CFD
is modern take on an elegant 1920s-inspired cascading
bridal bouquet comes to us from Shelly Huynh-Lewis, AIFD,
CFD, owner and creative director of Orchid Dynasty in Salt
Lake City, Utah. It is designed in an eco-friendly fashion, using
biodegradable floral foam in a reusable bouquet holder and
compostable cling
(plastic) wrap.
"If we keep an open mind by experimenting and using old and
new techniques, it will teach us to adapt and innovate and give
us more opportunities to be creative in more resourceful ways,"
Huynh-Lewis says.
