Creative wedding bouquet wraps

Olga Goddard — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 23:31:00 +0000

Of course the bridal bouquet is the star of the show when it comes to wedding flowers, and often the fine details are what make a bridal bouquet truly distinctive. There are a variety of enchanting ways to complete a bouquet, from ribbons and beads to other fine accents. Allow me to share with you a few ideas for creative and beautiful bouquet wraps and holders.

1. An unusual way to finish a bouquet holder is to use Equisetum and natural raffia instead of traditional ribbon.

2. Lace above satin adds a very romantic look to the simple rose bouquet.

3. If you want to add a truly distinctive look to your country style bouquet, consider wrapping Curly Willow around the bouquet holder. White pearls add even more charm to this unusual bridal bouquet.

4. For an elegant look, just add a few layers of pearls at the bottom of the bouquet holder. Doesn’t it look awesome?

I would love to hear about the fun and distinctive details that you added to your bouquet (or you would like to add to your bouquet if your special day is still in the future)! Just leave your comment below.

Unusual looking bouquets with distinctive details – that is what I love to do!

Real wedding: Russian – American winter wedding in Southern Utah

Olga Goddard — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:00:00 +0000

Couple: Katya & Matt
Location: The Ledges of St George, UT
Wedding colors: Royal blue, Red, Yellow, Pink

I was absolutely delighted to work with Kate & Matt and here is why. I got a call from Kate at 8.30 pm (yes, I always keep my cell phone with me & answer if I can) and we were chatting for a while before Katya told me that she is Russian. She didn’t have any accent and so I was eager to know her story. Katya and her Mom came to America several years ago because of Svetlana’s marriage. Katya was a little girl at that time and that is why her English sounds native.

Well, I don’t speak Russian a lot in America, and so it was really fun to plan this wedding speaking in my native tongue. It was a kick, and I was absolutely delighted to meet with Katya’s Mom and her American Dad. The ceremony and wedding were held at the elegant “The Ledges of Saint George”.

Katya & Matt wanted to keep their wedding ceremony very private and so only immediate family was invited. The ceremony took place in front of the fire place adorned with a tall colourful arrangement on each side.

For her bouquet Katya insisted on having 2 dozen red roses “Black Magic” with a sparkly touch of “diamonds”.

She insisted that the rest of the wedding flowers be very colourful.

For the table décor Katya chose to have “Royal Blue” Lamoure linen, a big colourful centrepiece with six candles around it. Katya wanted to give the flowers as a gift to some of her close friends. It’s one of the Russian traditions to give the flowers as a hand tied bouquet without a vase and so we decided to incorporate it into the design.

I arranged flowers as a big colourful hand tired bouquet with royal blue Hydrangeas, orange Asiatic Lilies, white and red Roses, Sunflowers, white Gerbera, Thistle and more. The bouquet holder was wrapped with Aspidistra leaf and secured with royal blue wire. For the vase, we used an 8” tall bowl vase. The arrangement looked absolutely amazing!

For the wrist corsages we had Red Roses fixed on royal blue wire. The ladies loved it!

It was my pleasure to work with Katya & Matt and Katya’s dear parents Svetlana and Ed.

I want to thank you for choosing me to create flowers for your wedding!

I wish you all the best!

My dear friend and very talented photographer Tiffany Jane shared with me these AMAZING pictures of Karisa’s Bridals. This very stylish Bridals took place in a Ghost town in Southern Utah. Tiffany told me that it was VERY hot that day (like 110 degrees or so) but every single image turned out just gorgeous! Enjoy!!

Bridal bouquet includes red Roses “Freedom” and Calla Lilly “Mango”. Black ribbon was used for the bouquet holder. Very simple but it looks absolutely awesome!!!

Backyard Wedding With Style

Olga Goddard — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:38:00 +0000

When: May 2009
Bride & Groom: Beth & Elliott
Flowers: Olga Goddard’s Plant & Floral Design
Wedding Cake: Bridal Cakes by Yvonne
Photographer: Lindsey Stewart Green Apple Photography

Beth was an amazingly well organized Bride and she knew exactly what she wanted, including the style, colors and types of flowers. Beth’s wedding colors were blue, white and orange. I must say that Beth and her Mom both have highly refined taste and style.

Her choice of Hydrangea during the hot May weather in St. George, UT created a bit of challenge, as hydrangea don’t like heat, and they like to drink tons of water. Of course, we were able to manage it because I always give 120% to make sure that my Brides get exactly the look that they want.

Fragrant Gardenia stood by themselves to create striking corsages for the Moms.

Yvonne from Bridal Cake by Yvonne created a true masterpiece wedding cake for this stylish spring wedding.

Beth’s bouquet included blue Hydrangea, Hypericum, Orange Calla Lilly, Gardenia and Oregonia. The Bouquet was wrapped in a designer’s fabric and included several rings of white pearls. The antique look of this bouquet was absolutely gorgeous! A Great match for the Exquisite Bride!

Bridesmaid’s Bouquets included elegant Orange Calla Lilly and Green Hypericum wrapped in a cream ribbon.

Beth & Elliott, I wish you all the best! Thank you for being such an amazing couple to work with!!!!
