I can’t explain just how much I love fresh flowers! I’m really looking forward to Spring, and all of the beautiful flowers that entail! If pink is one of your wedding colors, you have many, many options to choose from. Roses, peonies, tulips, ranunculus, hydrangeas, calla lilies, and dahlias are some of your most popular options. Each flower beautiful in it’s own way!

It always makes me smile when I walk into a room and see fresh flowers! I love dressing up my kitchen table or kitchen island, with a ravishing display. Take a look at these beautiful options for you!

Right now I am totally into Peacock anything! I really love Navy this season, and of course glamor!! How amazing would it be to have a Peacock inspired wedding? Totally incredible.. Navy, hunter green, ivory and gold. Check out some of these fabulous ideas I found on Pinterest!

For the bouquet, choose something subtle but breathtaking…

I love the look the peonies in the right and left picture, crazy beautiful! The color is soft and bright, yet full and bold! If you want to do something a little more vibrant and theme inspired, go for the picture in the middle, peacock feathers and calla lilies, wrapped with navy fabric and rhinestone studs would look perfect!

Choosing the right dress for you is key to fit in with the rest of your wedding theme. Opt for something that is fitted for the top half and puffy designed for the bottom. I really love the dress on the bottom left for this theme. Paired with the peonies bouquet from above, would be sure to take every guests’ breath away!

Truth is, one of the things your guests are looking forward to the most, or most opinionated on is the food, aka, the cake! Recommendations for a baker is pertinent. Come up with a shape you prefer, round is my preference, and perfect for the Peacock theme! Be sure to know a round- about head count before ordering your cake, keeping in mind you will be keeping the top tier to freeze for your first anniversary!
