Cascading Beauty
Convey a decidedly autumnal aesthetic
in wedding designs—regardless of
color palette—by combining
dried botanicals with fresh.

T
he changing
seasons
inspired me to
create a lush
cascade-style
bridal bouquet using
both fresh and dried
botanicals. I accented
the beautiful garden
roses from Alexandra
Farms—the stars of
this bouquet—with
fresh foliages and dried
grasses. Incorporating
dried botanicals into
fresh fl oral designs
lends beautiful texture
and interest, and they
can be obtained in
hues not always found
in fresh materials—a
benefi t often needed
with wedding work.
