Selection Day!

Can you guess which bouquet will be featured in Brides Philadelphia Magazine? Honestly, neither can I!

The magazine asked several area florists, myself included, to provide pictures of bouquets for a feature in their spring edition.  Below are photos of the six bouquets I submitted to the editors. Hopefully they will feature one in the Brides edition.

Now, the blog polls are open! Post a comment with your magazine pick. We'll see if my blog readers choose the same bouquet as Brides Philadelphia Magazine!

Bouquet # 1

White calla lilies softened by lily of the valley---best month for this bouquet would be late April or early May as Lily of Valley can be very expensive out of season!

Bouquet # 2 

Red calla lilies with green cymbidium orchids--- fabulous bouquet for fall when red callas are easily accessible.

 Bouquet # 3

Green succulents, hanging amaranthus, green orchids, rosemary, china berry, coxcomb, and fiddle head ferns--- makes a great summer bouquet as these arid flowers can stand the heat.

 Bouquet # 4

Snowberry bouquet in early October--- one of kind! Always makes a great statement! Available from mid-September to early October

 Bouquet #5

Orchid, peony, rose, and maidenhair bouquet tied with antique netting--- Available all year for a bride who wants a touch of vintage.

 Bouquet # 6

Pale pink garden roses, white sweet peas and lady slipper orchids--- Sweet peas echo the soft ruffle on  the bridal gown beautifully. Sweet pea availability is best between April and June.
