Lauren’s Ethereal Floral Head Wreath

Lauren and David’s engagement photoshoot is sweet perfection. You may remember the tutorial and flower crown recipe we shared when this charming bride-to-be asked us to design an ethereal, bohemian-chic floral head piece for her engagement session.

We got to know Lauren’s lovely sense of style while working on designs for her big day next June. For this engagement session, she envisioned blush roses and shared an inspiration image from a gorgeous French wedding. Instead of standard roses, we suggested delicate, light-pink spray roses, and ethereal baby’s breath. Cool-toned, seeded eucalyptus complimented the intricate, ivory petals of tiny wildflowers, including poetically-named astrantia million stars…

We’ve fallen in love with Flutter Magazine, a quarterly publication of “Wedding & Lifestyle Inspiration to Make Your Heart Skip a Beat.” The new issue (# 8) features a gorgeous shoot with Lauren Conrad and her bridesmaid designs from Paper Crown.

A yearly subscription to Flutter is the perfect gift for a bride-to-be. But don’t stop there; anyone on your list who loves fashion and entertaining will appreciate exquisitely on-trend details, shoppable editorials and DIY projects.

Check out behind the scenes photos from the issue launch party on Lauren’s blog, and subscribe to Flutter here.

Palest Blush Bouquet at Battery Gardens

by Elianna Phelps

It’s no secret: we love blush wedding flowers. And creating this textured, romantic bridal bouquet, in the palest palette of blush and ivory, was pure pleasure. Beautiful bride Adriana wanted flowers with a classic but fresh look. Her bouquet was softly rounded and dimensional, with stems partially wrapped in ivory satin ribbon.

We chose several of our favorite specialty roses:dusty-blush Quicksand roses, warmer blush Keira roses, and pale-blush La Perla roses. Using a variations of a similar color adds depth, even to light-colored bouquets. Ranunculus, spray roses and garden roses, brought cream, ivory and white into the mix. A few sprigs of seeded eucalyptus accented the flowers.
