Color has the power to transform a wedding, infusing florals with personality, emotion, and unforgettable style. Yet, incorporating bold hues doesn’t mean sacrificing elegance or timelessness.

In this guide, we’ll explore thoughtful ways – brought to life in our Real BB Weddings – that embrace color fearlessly, creating floral designs that are both bold and beautifully enduring.

While beautiful, often these ultra-saturated tablescapes are designed on a set for a magazine or to catch your attention while scrolling, leaving the question, “Would that actually work for my wedding?”
