{ Cole & Erin :: Summer Sunset Wedding }

Many months ago at my floral consultation with the Erin, I had this crazy idea to create her flowers around a tropical summer sunset. You know, kinda like the one you see HERE. I thought it would be the perfect pop of color to compliment her black, ivory, and gold color palette. Plus, it's August and who doesn't love some warm, vibrant blooms to set the summertime mood!

I chose to build the bouquets around this gorgeous, no, exquisite Baroness Garden Rose, and fluffed it up with some other rich blooms like lisianthus, freesia, and astilbe. And to cool things off a little, I added some fragrant mint leaves. I think they're the perfect addition to this picture-perfect bouquet.

Stay tuned for more pictures of the beautiful flowers designed for the couple's reception at a private residence in Laguna Niguel. Think summer fruits, flowers, and lots of fun!
