To read before choosing the bouquet

In our elopement packages, we include:
  1. A bridal bouquet
  2. And one boutonnière.

It is a classic bouquet, made from fresh flowers. I create a bouquet based on bride's vision board. For example, classic like this one:

"Bonjour all the beautiful, adventurous, and ambitious ladies, our wonderful brides. And our respect to the intelligent handsome future grooms. Hope you have a good time reading. Let's begin!"

I also create a matching boutonniere for the groom:

A white bouquet is perfect for a bride who is usually serious in her everyday life but knows how to enjoy a celebration and have fun. She values time with her loved ones but always prioritizes herself. White bouquets are for those brides who are passionate, flirty, and elegant. White flowers are timeless.
Here are some of the white bouquets I’ve created:

There are two things you should know. First, I work exclusively with fresh, seasonal flowers, and each type has its own blooming season. Flowers don't bloom year-round, except for roses, so please be prepared to choose a bouquet made from seasonal flowers. However, there are many beautiful blooms available in France, so finding the perfect flowers for your bouquet shouldn't be a problem. Please take a look at what I usually create for our clients to get a sense of my style and the types of flowers we have available.

There are three main types of bouquets I create:

  1. White Bouquets – these can be round or oval, with long or short stems. With added greenery or not, a ribbon bow, or just a mix of white flowers on their own.
  2. Colorful Bouquets in different shapes.
  3. Cascade Bouquets – a more waterfall, dramatic style.
Here are white flowers from different seasons that are available in France
If you want a white bouquet from April to June, white peonies are available. For the other months, you can choose from roses, tulips, and even white orchids. White bouquets look extremely good with a bridal dress; they are seductive and passionate.

Colorful bouquets are playful. They are perfect for brides who want something unique and for those who are creative. If you enjoy simple daily pleasures like watching a sunset, playing with your pets, and drawing, a colorurful bouquet is a perfect way to express your creativity. Colorful flowers are bright and rich. Here are some of the colorful bouquets I’ve created:

colorful bouquets

Blush, pink, red, violet, and light blue are popular colors for bouquets
I can't do any colors since the flowers are limited. You have to choose natural colors like red, blush or pink. For example, there are no flowers that are bright blue or black. Orange and red flowers, except for roses, are also very rare.

Cascade bouquets are shaped like a waterfall, cascading elegantly down from the bride’s hands. They are simply stunning—a dramatic fashion statement. I can create them white or colorful. However, please note that they are quite heavy—like HEAVY. I recommend getting them only if you work out and have a very strong back and arms, as you'll need to carry around 3-4 kg (6.6-8.8 lbs) for 5-6 hours. Here are my favorites:

Inspired by a garden, these never-ending cascade bouquets
Cascade bouquets should be held horizontally, tilted down, to maintain a teardrop shape. And they are very unique, with greenery and different textures:

A show-stopping bouquet for a fearless bride

Now that we’ve talked about what I can do for you, let’s take a look at what I don’t work with:

  • Uncommon colors: I don't do something unnatural like all-black gothic bouquets or bright colors like lime yellow and neon orange. Those colors just aren’t found in nature.
  • Dried flowers: I don’t use dried flowers, like pampas grass. They shed tiny particles that make a mess in our car, and Tim spends hours deep cleaning the car afterward. If you have a choice, please no dried flowers. Think about Tim having to clean his car.
  • Tropical flowers: unfortunately, I can’t work with tropical flowers like hibiscus, protea, plumeria, and tropical orchids. They’re tough to find in Paris.
  • Non-flower materials: I also don’t use things like peacock feathers, tree branches, pearls, or bling—just fresh flowers for me!

what i don't do

Shall we go on a dessert date and spend more time together?

We should have included 3-4 articles on similar topics here to recommend to you. But we don’t want you to just read these top picks. Please read all of our articles from beginning to end. We promise, it's FOR YOU.
