Choosing your flowers.

Todays' post comes to us from the talented Lisa of Studio del Fiore. Specializing in weddings, you can see some samples of her work in the images below.

The flowers at your wedding are a beautiful way to enhance your color palate. From rich, deep hues, to bright vibrant colors, the choices for your flowers are vast and varied. A lot of flowers are greenhouse grown which widens the time of year the flowers are available. You want tulips in August? It's possible! When meeting with your florist be sure to bring all your ideas, no matter how unrealistic they may seem. Color swatches and photos of what you have in mind will help your florist guide you to the flower choices that will help make your wedding just what you dreamed of.

What beautiful flowers! I had the opportunity to be at this shoot, and with the weather a little cloudy, the flowers made the shoot amazingly colorful and memorable. Kudos to Alexis, too, for bringing out their true beauty.
