Boutonnieres

Boutonnieres, Too Much or Just Right?

Boutonnieres Love Them Or Leave Them Out...

Boutonnieres are one of those wedding details that some love and others love to hate. If done right can add such wonderful detail to photos. Many times they are just an afterthought, a fast add-on that doesn't steal the show (like the bridal bouquet). However, there are times when the boutonnieres are just awesome! 

Did you know, that there are boutonniere does and do nots? For example... If you are not planning on having a jacket with a lapel than there is no need for a boutonniere! Yes, boutonnieres are meant for  lapels, otherwise they are not needed!

Also, if you plan to do a boutonniere than there is no need for a pocket square! If you have a pocket square there is no need for a boutonniere! 

Another great thing to keep in mind is that greenery goes on the back, not in front! Many times we see wedding pictures with the greenery on the front instead of the back!

2013 Wedding Color Trends

Trending Wedding Colors for East Tennessee Brides

There is no doubt that Pinterest has had a huge impact on the wedding business. Overall brides are more prepared on how they want their cake, wedding picture poses and wedding flowers. This trend does not seem to be fading anytime soon. In fact, Pinterest has bled over into Prom! 

This year the Lisa Foster Floral Design team has seen a few dominate color trends for the year 2013. The first is BLUSH, brides are gah gah over the blush colors. Pinks, peach, corals, ivory and white... and mix in a little soft greens. We've had a multitude of brides want the "soft romantic" look. Pinterest is full of ideas on how to use this color pallet for a wedding. 

Garden Roses have been made popular by Martha Stewart, Pinterest and Other Bridal Magazines. Garden Roses are a great substitute for peonies because of their high petal count and size. 

Teal/Aqua and Pink are a HOT color combination this year! 

Each week we just fall in love with the bridal bouquets! They are the first and foremost theme setter for each wedding!

Knoxville Weddings - Flower Girls - Ring Bearers

Flower Girls and Ring Bearers

Options for Flower Girls and Boutonnieres for Ring Bearers.

Examples of Knoxville Tn Weddings and flowers used for flower girls and ring bearers. 

When it comes to weddings, Knoxville TN brides have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to what their flower girls can carry. Some venues do not allow the use of real flower petals and instead of going with silk flowers some brides opt to have their girls carry flowers. Kissing balls, small hand-tied bouquets even flower and greenery garland offer girls something unique. We LOVE getting pictures of the weddings we do, especially pictures of the flower girls and ring bearers. They are just so darn cute!

 Flower girl halos are very popular and transform little sweethearts into little angels!

These flower girls were from our Biltmore Estate wedding,  

they had one of everything halo, hand-tied, kissing ball and petals! 

 Kissing balls can be made of many types of flowers, mainly we use carnations but mums, roses and daisies are all used as well.

We love the hand-tied bouquet look for little girls!

Depending on the age of the ring bearer boutonnieres are cute on little boys! 

Ring bearers usually do well with boutonnieres as long as they are old enough. A ring bearer younger than 4 years of age tends to destroy boutonnieres (although every child is different). Then again some groomsmen tend to destroy boutonnieres and they are old enough to know better!

Hair clip flowers 

 Flowers on hair clips or headbands can add a little special touch to flower girls hair. The girls usually love having flowers in their hair. It makes them feel like little princesses.

There are a lot of options when it comes to halo flowers.

Ivory Kissing Ball

 Who can resist a precious little flower girl tossing petals at a wedding. It's just too cute.
