When I found out that someone who worked at my wedding planner’s office had a blog, I just had to have her over for Wedding Wednesday. So today we have the very talented Madison, from The White Ruffle sharing her favorite bridesmaid flower styles. Who had any idea there were so many options??

Hi all, I am Madison from The White Ruffle, and I am so thrilled to be here today sharing some of my favorite bridesmaid bouquet ideas with you for Wedding Wednesday! Alex was so sweet to ask me to give some advice for some beautiful bouquets! I actually work for Birch Design Studio, and feel lucky to have gotten to know Alex over the course of the past few months while watching her plan her amazing wedding day!

Here are a few ideas that I compiled together for some bouquets:

There are so may different ways to create beautiful floral bouquets for your bridesmaids. It’s important to have them blend with the colors of the bride’s bouquet, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they all need to be matchy-matchy. While matching bouquets are always a beautiful option, some brides like to stick with one color and pick different flowers for each bridesmaid, or stick with one color and do mixed flower bouquets for everyone. Or you can mix it up all together and do different flowers with different shades of similar tones! Whatever choice you make it’s important your bridesmaids love the flowers as much as you do, so feel free to ask their opinion before making your choice. You can also get vases at the reception and use the bouquets for some added floral arrangements for centerpieces, or use them to spice up the bar decor!

Thanks again Alex for letting me share some ideas! I hope you all stop by The White Ruffle soon to see some of Alex’s advice on cute and cost friendly ways to decorate your first apartment! Can’t wait to have her share some fabulous ideas!

Thanks Madison! And in case you haven’t seen it yet “Sh*t Brides Say” here it is. I would definitely add a couple of “I’ve dreamed of this day my entire life” and a some “I just want to look like a princess”. But its still pretty entertaining!

Today is another post in the “Your Favorites” series!! My favorite. I will never get sick of these peeks into bloggers’ homes. Today we have Becca from Rebecca June. Hers was one of the very first blogs I discovered when I began blogging. Her home is absolutely gorgeous. So comfortable and cozy with a touch of glamor. Just the way I like it.

My Favorite Room

My current favorite room is my Dining Room. While rarely used it holds some of my favorite things. My beautiful books, my gorgeous ghost chairs, and the moulding I had put on the wall.

My Favorite Textile

My favorite textile is happens to be this luggage colored leather pillow that I fell in love with at Pottery Barn several years ago. Every time it gets a knick, or worn, it just looks better and better. Plus, what room couldn’t use a little leather?

My Favorite piece of Art

My Favorite piece of art is also my biggest! Nicole Cohen from Sketch 42 was kind enough to make this dreamy watercolor ‘Rainbow Map’ for me in the bigger than life size. It makes me happy when I see it and the punch of color is just what my room Living Room needed.

My Favorite Piece of Furniture

My Favorite piece of furniture is actually the set of four Ghost Chairs that my parents gave my husband and I as our wedding gift. I had loved those chairs but could never fathom buying a set for myself. So I was blown away that after throwing us this beyond gorgeous wedding they were also going to purchase a huge gift that would make my home an even happier place.

My Favorite Miscellaneous Item

I love my disco ball! It is a little random and however when the lights hit it and they reflect on the ceiling of my house in the afternoon, I feel a little better no matter what my day has been like.
