Bridal Bouquet Inspiration | Best of GB Events

Hands down our favorite floral design element of weddings is the bridal bouquet. It is the star of the show, arguably the most photographed floral element, and is usually composed of the most stunning flowers of the lot.

We love utilizing our brides' favorite flowers and typically try to keep the bridal bouquet a little more neutral and white-toned, therefore a little more bridal. However we love when the bride wants to inject some color as well! Our goal is to have it perfectly reflect the bride and her style. 

We have compiled some images of some of our favorite bridal bouquets of weddings past below for you to peruse and hopefully garner some inspiration from! Let us know in the comments below which is your favorite!

Jamie + Adam, Fall Garden Wedding | Augusta, GA

We always enjoy producing a wedding for one of our own! And Jamie & Adam are just that! Jamie and her sister Allie (see her Enterprise Mill wedding here!) have both helped our floral design team over the years, so when Jamie & Adam shared that they were going to get married last fall, we eagerly volunteered to be a part of their vendor team!

The couple decided that after their ceremony at Church of the Good Shepherd that their dream would be to host the reception at Jamie’s parents’ home nearby. With it’s beautiful front lawn and lush back gardens, their home was the perfect intimate location for this gathering of friends and family!

Jamie had always pictured very natural, organic-looking florals and with a fall wedding date set we knew the color palate and texture would be off the charts beautiful. Her bridal bouquet was composed of free spirit roses, burgundy and blush dahlias, scabiosa, various varieties of eucalyptus, and astrantia. The bridesmaids bouquets were much of the same but with a small, but fragrant, addition of fresh mint. Fall is one of our favorite times of year to create boutonnieres, the textures are always so fun to mix to create unique, combinations for our grooms and their guys!

Following their ceremony, Jamie & Adam hopped into a friend’s vintage car to make their way around the block to her parents’ home. Jennifer Shuford’s Tastefully Yours Catering team had prepared delicious Southern fare, while guests sipped on drinks prepared by White Horse Spirits.

From the images below captured by Laura Fulmer Photography, you can see the sweet relationship that Jamie & Adam share. We always have our couples eat privately before joining their guests to ensure them a brief time of togetherness on an otherwise very busy day. Jamie & Adam soaked up every minute of their time together before making their way to the back lawn for their first dance. It’s those moments that really make the day special.

See the full vendor list below as well as all the pretty images from this wonderful day!

Legends Club Fall Wedding, Augusta, GA | Rachel + Dustin

We saved some of the best for our last blog post of 2017! We are always lucky enough to have the best clients, but it is truly something special when you get to design and produce a wedding day for one of your own. Rachel used to work with our team here at Charleston Street/Greg Boulus Events (and we did her sister, Kristen's wedding a few years back!), therefore when Dustin proposed we knew we were going to have a beautiful wedding to plan in the near future!  

Dustin and Rachel are high school sweethearts that have been together for years, therefore their wedding day was a much anticipated affair! Their love for one another is palpable through the images captured below by Lauren Carnes. And Lauren agrees that it was incredibly difficult to narrow down which shots we wanted to share, as they all showcased their love (and that stunning Anne Barge gown) beautifully.

During our initial planning meeting, Rachel told us she envisioned a romantic, fall-inspired wedding. Berry and wine colored hues, soft blushes, lots of candles, were the details that flowed throughout all of her inspiration images. However she left complete floral design up to our team, knowing from past experience that they would create something truly special for her. Judging from the images below of when she first saw her bouquet, it would look like we succeeded!

The ceremony took place at Fairview Church of North Augusta, while the reception was held at the Legend's Club in Augusta. With catering by Sean Wight's team at Frog Hollow, guests enjoyed a delicious meal while dancing the night away to the tunes spun by DJ Wade all the way from Charleston, SC. It was an incredibly fun-filled evening, we love when our couples get to spend a majority of their reception dancing with all their sweet friends and family!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Moore! We love you two and are so, so grateful that we had the opportunity to have a hand in such a perfect day.
