Sculptural Florals & Bouquets

Wonderful News!! One of my closest friends is getting married and has asked me to be a bridesmaid and help with the wedding decor! I'm so thrilled and honored... Not only do I get to be apart of the most important day of her life, I also get to help PLAN A WEDDING! Eek! This has been a secret wish of mine for the longest time... I guess the strange thing is, I would rather plan someone else's wedding than my own. Most people can settle on the theme/colors. I, on the other hand, have trouble deciding on what color I want my hair, so how could I possibly pick colors for my own wedding?! I'm hoping this might bring some inspiration for any *ehem* future wedding planning I might have to do  :)

I've decided to start researching flowers and bouquets, so my first stop for inspiration is Bows & Arrows. Here you'll find some of the most beautiful and unique floral arrangements you can imagine. I really love the way long succulents are used in the bouquet from this photoshoot, giving it a strong yet organic shape. The centerpieces for this wedding are quite lovely as well... And perfect for a Fall wedding!

Sundown at the Oasis

This dreamy shoot from Rue makes me wish I had my own Oasis to escape to. The warm desert tones remind me that Summer is slipping away, which is quite apparent today in Los Angeles. As I'm looking outside my office window, rain is POURING down!
