Fresh from the Field Wedding Flowers is a complete guide to using local flowers for weddings. It was created for the eco-conscious couple committed to having a greener wedding, the passionate gardener who wants to grow flowers for events, the floral designer who wishes to jump in on the locally grown trend, and the specialty cut flower farmer who will be offering wedding services. Beautifully illustrated with photographs from dozens of actual weddings, this book provides advice on where to find local flowers, what blooms are available in each season, how to stretch a floral budget and what to expect when working with local flower farmers. Five detailed step-by-step photo essays walk you through the process of creating your own bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and large arrangements. Four in-depth videos totaling 75 minutes teach you the basic mechanics and overall thought process that goes into creating the flowers for an event. Designer Erin Benzakein demonstrates how she constructs an abundant bridal bouquet, a large altar arrangement, a low and lush centerpiece, a boutonniere, and a pin-on corsage.

As every bride knows, flowers contribute greatly to the look of a wedding and a bold bonquet or pretty posy is the quintessential bridal accessory. But how does a bride start to plan her flowers? What colour should she choose, what kind of bouquet will best suit her dress, which flowers will be in season at the time of her wedding, and how does she find a florist she can trust? Bridal Bouquets addresses all these important issues as well as providing an abundance of inspiration. An exquisitely illustrated source book, it presents a wide range of stylish, elegant ideas for flowers to be carried and worn by the bride, her bridesmaids and flower girls, and other members of the bridal party. The first part of the book offers the bride-to-be invaluable and accessible practical advice on choosing her bouquet. Different wedding themes--formal, traditional, contemporary, or country, for example--are considered, and two of the most important aspects of choosing bridal flowers--working with colour and working with the seasons--are examined in more detail. The heart of the book is organized by colour: whites and creams, yellows, oranges, red, pinks, purples, blues, and greens. The third section of the book shows how to put colours together and explains the secret of successful colour combinations, be they romantic, jeweled, or dramatic. Whether your wedding is a relaxed country-style affair, a sophisticated modern celebration, or a more traditional occasion, this exquisitely illustrated book offers inspiration for flowers that will set the tone for a magical and memorable wedding day.
