Flower Power!

I always have loved flowers.. loved receiving flowers during special occasions, be it birthday, valentines' day or anniversary..

I am very pleased with all the floral arrangements we had for our wedding.. from our PS in USA till our actual wedding day..

Pre-wedding (I)

Plum calla lillies, black magic roses and pink orchids

Blogged about our pre-wedding bridal bouquet before we set off to US.. AH is super in love with this bouquet of flowers and is one of the most expensive bunch of flowers he has ever bought in his life..We loved the unique plum calla lilies as those calla lilies that we've seen in Singapore are the boring white/yellow ones.. 

Pre-wedding (II)

Green Cymbidium orchids, baby breath and hypericum

When our florist sent us a photo of the bouquet he got the inspiration, we were not impressed by how the flowers look.  They kind of pale in comparison with our US PS bouquet, which is more vibrant in color.  But we were "wowed" by it when we saw in on the day of our PS.. Never feel greenish looking flowers are so pretty! AH always gives me pink or red flowers throughout our courtship, since pink is my all time fave color.. The red hypericum has a 画龙点睛effect..

Hot pink rose, pink tiger lilies and ivy leaves

AD hand bouquet

Hot pink roses, white roses, white freesia and ivy leaves

I LOVE MY AD FLOWERS!! Hot pink has been the color of my life.. Almost everything that I owned is hot pink in color.. Love the vibrancy of hot pink! My AD hand bouquet is a cascading bouquet & its the first time ever that I'm having such floral arrangement.. The bouquet is really huge compared to the standard hand bouquet.. And I have to be constantly reminded to hold it in the right orientation.. Oh ya, my nephew loves the ivy leaves coming out from the bouquet that he conveniently pulled one of leaves out during our family shoot.

Bridal Bouquet

I wanted a hand bouquet for my PS to add some variations to the styles.. After researching & getting quotes from florist in US, I reckon it wasn't quite worth it to get a fresh flower bouquet.. 1 bouquet ranges from $150 onwards, depending on the flowers & arrangement.. As such, I decided to get a faux flower bouquet from SG instead, a faux bouquet ranges about $40-80.. and it can be recycled for other purposes too..

Upon researching for bouquet designs on my fave wedding site.. I stumbled upon some designs that I liked.. and the colour scheme matches that of my WG too.. Looking at the stunting colours & varieties of flowers used.. AH decided that we shouldn't save the money & should get real flowers bouquet instead..

Here are some ideas I got..

My finalised bridal bouquet design

The bunch that I chose consist of plum calla lillies, pink orchids & black magic rose (the colour of the rose is black magic).. Initially wanted to add embellishments and/or feathers to the bunch to add on more varieties.. But it will cost another usd $25 more.. plus tax etc will be about usd $191.. CRAZY!  So I decided to skip the embellishments, just keep it to flowers only.. I doubt there's such colourful calla lillies available in Singapore, I've only seen white or light pink calla lillies..

Now I just hope that the florist can stay as close as possible to this design of the bouquet.. really love the deep intense colour of the rose & calla lillies! :D
