Watercolour Dreams ... Colour the bouquet

It would be such a delight to hold this bouquet, a summery mix of colors to hold its own against a beautiful dreamy gown.

Style Board: Watercolour Dreams

There is so much creativity that you can showcase with this theme. Create small watercolour paintings of splatters or streaks, keeping things geometric helps to ground the kaleidoscope of colours. Arranging flowers in vases according to their colors resemble a paint palette and creates greater impact. I love the idea of illustrating the gown and bouquet, it's a great keepsake that makes wonderful decor in a new home.

Dreamy Ruffles ... Frilly blooms

Your go-to bloom for ruffly petals ... Carnations. They are frilly and come in a huge array of colours, the best thing is that they are budget friendly. Peonies, ranunculus and dahlias make a big impact with their luscious blooms, and lovely structure.

Citrus Crush ... Pretty Outdoor Setting

Love, love, love this setup for a chic outdoor wedding. Hanging little jars filled with sprigs of flowers amongst small flower pomanders adds such wonderful visuals and scent. Complete the seemingly floating decor with a chandelier, divine! A display of flowers on a log lies low on the long table, and complements the jars and pomanders hanging from the ceiling. The decor comes together so well, I can imagine the exact look for a cosy dining area at home.

Citrus Crush ... Simple chic centerpieces

Simple and neat, small scattered arrangements can add a homey touch to the decor. I love the use of white and yellow ceramic vases to hold the arrangements, it really brings out the colours of the flowers. Use wooden planter boxes if you want a more rustic vibe.

Cherry Blossom Joy ... Just a little DIY

For many of us, cherry blossoms are not readily available, even the faux ones are hard to come by sometimes, so crafting tiny blossoms resembling the delicate flower is a great budget friendly way to create decor for the theme. This great DIY from Martha Stewart Weddings is easy, and you can create a similar arrangement for the table centerpiece. You can purchase ready-made cherry blossom confetti, or cherry blossom paper punches and create the tiny blooms in shades of pink. Have fun crafting!

Cherry Blossom Joy ... Centerpiece

Cherry blossoms branches look amazing arranged on their own in glass or white ceramic vases. It's simple and chic. If you are lucky and can get hold of lush flowering cherry blossom, arranging them in hurricane vases creates a grand and spectacular centerpiece. There are faux cherry blossom branches that you can purchase, especially around the Chinese New Year period, but be sure to select the good quality ones, those look surprisingly real, and you can reuse them as home decor after the wedding. If a tall arrangement is not your preference, go with a floral arrangement of big blooms, and pepper the centerpiece with small twigs of cherry blossoms.

Evening Pastels ... Beauty in your hands

A pastel bouquet really stands out when there is a good mix of blooms, think different types of petals and varied sizes. You could create a blush pink and peach bouquet finished with a powder blue ribbon, or have the full works of blush pink, peach and powder blue blooms.

Winter White ... Single blooms

This makes such a visually stunning tables cape. I love that there are no big lush arrangements, just single blooms each displayed in beautiful glass and ceramic vases. The vessels holding the blooms are just as captivating as the arrangements.

Winter White ... Centerpiece

Setting out to create a centerpiece that consists of only monochromatic colors can seem boring, but think of the varied textures that can be introduced, and you may get a bit light-headed. It can be a simple arrangement of big showy flowers or a mix of small hi-lo arrangements. It can be the use of chiffon or tulle draped across the room or lace table runners lining the tables. Having an array of patterns create a sense of dimension to a muted palette, that's calming yet interesting.

Hanging flower lanterns

I've been pondering for a while, what theme to focus on for the month of November. But I'm having such a bad block, nothing is calling out to me for attention. So for November, I will, instead, throw up bits of pretty details that you can use for your wedding, with some improvisation.

I adore these handmade lanterns, fashioned from lampshade frames and paper flowers. So adorable and really perfect for garden parties. Look for lampshades in various shapes to add visual impact, and hang paper flowers from the frame in your wedding color. Check out the post "Wedding Inspiration with Tangerine Tango" on Green Wedding Shoes.
