Inspired by Spring Bouquets

Written by Staff @ The Ring with Carrie Lynn Weber, Floral Designer

With balmy March weather melting away the layers of snow, spring will soon be officially sprung, and so too will lustrous pastel, fresh green and crisp white flowers that come with it. Floral designer, Carrie Lynn Weber says spring flowers can create some of the most gorgeous wedding bouquets, and she proves it with two of her favourites from recent weddings...

In this bouquet [featured right], Carrie Lynn has brought together a fresh melody of springtime blooms that marries double tulips, peonies, and ranunculus mingled with everyday blooms of pink ginger, orchids and callas – all of which, she says, are in their prime during the months of spring. The greens, pinks, pale yellows and whites in this bouquet have given its lush, full design a fresh and sweet look.

Carrie Lynn says double tulips are a wonderful early spring flower (one that often goes unnoticed in lieu of the more commonly known variety). They come in fewer colours, but have fuller blooms with more than the usual six petals. Some have so many petals that they look more like peonies than tulips. On the other hand, pink ginger, which is grown in warmer climates, can add a tropical flair and unique element to any bride's bouquet.

When it comes to spring bouquets or bouquets that are simply inspired by spring, Carrie Lynn's an expert at knowing what's in season and ready to look fabulous in your wedding photos. The pristine, white arrangements [featured left] are made entirely of white anemones. "They are gorgeous in April and May but are ready as early as February. They're a great choice for late winter or early spring weddings and are available in pink, purple, red and white." Carrie Lynn says she would never let a bride choose flowers that weren’t going to last throughout her entire wedding day.

Carrie Lynn Weber is a popular floral designer who focuses almost entirely on weddings. Her style and talent has landed her on the pages of newspapers and magazines across Canada (including Issue 4 of our own Bridal News Magazine). She creates gorgeous bouquets, table centerpieces and floral décor for some of The Ring’s most beautiful weddings.

    Wow. That made me gasp! How horrible! It sounds like he was having an awful day and doesn't know how to be very professional when he's stressed. What a jerk! No, definitely not all wedding vendors are crusty like that! I am so glad you found someone deserving of your business.

    I'm having a boudoir marathon on May 1st in Toronto. ALL SHAPES AND SIZES CELEBRATED! It's $310.00 plus taxes, which I know is a big chunk o' change, but here's what you're actually paying for: - a full makeup application from a pro makeup artist (false lashes, totally smokey eyes, all glam!) - the loft studio rental fee in Toronto with huge windows, lots of space, very flattering lighting - the photographer's time shooting and post processing of your photos afterward - your disc of high-resolution files & shipping expenses If you'd like a book with *fully* retouched photos (so you look like a supermodel!) my albums start around $100 and go from there and include all the retouching. Anyway, there's only one spot left at 12pm. I give all my clients a FAQ and TIPS page beforehand so you have an idea of how the session is going to happen, and what kind of outfits to bring -- they don't have to be underwear, you know... ;) If anyone would like a copy of my FAQ to help decide on doing it, let me know! Also, here's an article in The Wedding Ring that I wrote on boudoir photography. http://www.theweddingring.ca/london-features/why-boudoir-photography-is-so-hot http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v479/carsky/BoudoirDeal.jpg
