Flowers with Fragrance

With Wedding season fast approaching, I know lots of Brides are looking for the right color combinations for their Bridal Bouquets. Although color plays a big role, have you thought about the smell of your flowers. Fragrance often plays a large part on our memories. My fondest memories are of are of enjoying my mothers flower garden and smelling the sweet scent of honeysuckle wafting in the breeze.


In this monochromatic (all one color, also using tints and shades of that color) Bridal Bouquet Gardenias and White Freesia give this bouquet a very sweet fragrance with a bit of spice. Other flowers included in this cascading Bridal Bouquet are: Cream colored Lisianthus and White Dendrobium Orchids.
