Modern Trends: Consider decorative elements such as wire, jewels, feathers, and ribbon treatments to express your personal style. Highlight delicate fl orals with some “bling” for a beautiful contrast.

Ribbons: Incorporate a colored ribbon to represent a meaningful cause. Tie in a yellow ribbon to represent a brother that is serving overseas, or a pink ribbon to celebrate a loved one’s triumph over cancer. It can be a simple loop of ribbon hidden at the base of the blooms, a solid band around the stems, or use the ribbon to dangle a charm from a stem.

Memorial Tributes: Place a photo of a lost loved one inside the stems of your bouquet. Or, attach a small sachet containing something special – such as a locket or a ring, charm, dried fl owers, a meaningful poem or memories of a loved one. Carry your stems with a loved ones scarf or handkerchief.

Destinations: For a ceremony in the sand, mix in sea shells and pearls. Accessorize your wedding party and family with starfi sh boutonnieres and corsages or a pomander of sea shells. Custom designs can be created with easy travel in mind.

Wrap It Up! Don’t forget the stems! Embellish with multiple colors of ribbon, beautiful layers of lace, add some dots, or go mad with plaid! Attach a sparkling broach or bouquet bracelet for the perfect fi nishing touch.

Something Blue: Struggling to fi nd a way to work in your “something blue”? Attach a blue ribbon to a stem of your bouquet. For a little extra luck, dangle a small horseshoe charm. Or, accent your stem wrap with a vintage blue lace overlay.

Express Yourself: Sports fans - include a pin representing your favorite sports team or a black and white checkered ribbon to show your love of racing. Pet lovers, dangle an ID tag to make pets part of your day. Have some fun!
