Artisan Events bouquet using peonies and anemones

Joey of Artisan Events created this gorgeous bouquet for Amy's summer wedding in Palm Springs. Amy wanted simple and elegant and I think this bouquet is exactly that. Using white Peonies, which by the way are the size of your head! Anemones, which I always think are so striking with their jet black centers .... all bound together with a simple and clean white ribbon. Amy wanted her grandmothers ring incorporated somewhere on the bouquet, so Joey easily added that so that Amy could carry it with her securely down the aisle.

I wanted to focus on the beauty and simplicity of the arrangement, so I stood it up against a contrasting color, but still very simple backdrop to highlight the bouquet and nothing else.

This charming image captures a beautiful bouquet of wedding flowers at the Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs, CA. The setting is understated yet elegant, with the bouquet positioned against a backdrop of exposed brick that exudes a rustic, timeless appeal. The texture of the weathered bricks, with their shades of reddish-brown and patches of white mortar, provides a perfect contrast to the soft and delicate blooms of the bouquet.

The bouquet itself is a stunning arrangement of white flowers, predominantly featuring lush, full peonies that are the centerpiece of the design. Their petals are exquisitely layered, creating a voluminous and luxurious effect. Interspersed among the peonies are delicate anemones with their dark centers, which add a striking contrast and a touch of drama to the bouquet. The anemones' slender stems and smaller blooms complement the larger peonies, adding variety and interest to the arrangement.

Surrounding the flowers are sprigs of greenery, including eucalyptus leaves and other foliage, which add a natural and organic feel to the bouquet. The eucalyptus leaves, with their muted green tones and rounded shapes, provide a soft, trailing effect that enhances the bouquet’s overall aesthetic. Additional sprigs of tiny buds and delicate branches extend from the bouquet, adding texture and a sense of wild beauty.

The stems of the flowers are carefully wrapped in a pristine white ribbon, which is neatly tied into a bow. The ribbon not only holds the bouquet together but also adds a touch of classic elegance and refinement. The crisp whiteness of the ribbon echoes the purity and freshness of the blooms, creating a cohesive look that is both sophisticated and charming.

The bouquet is placed on a simple, polished surface, which might be a table or a countertop, allowing it to be the focal point of the image. The clean lines and reflective surface of the table add a modern touch, balancing the rustic background and the natural beauty of the bouquet.

This photograph beautifully captures the essence of a wedding at the Colony Palms Hotel, blending elements of rustic charm with classic elegance. The bouquet symbolizes the delicate beauty and joy of the occasion, its pristine blooms and carefully chosen greenery reflecting the love and care that goes into planning such a special day. The setting, with its exposed brick wall, adds a sense of history and timelessness, suggesting that this moment, much like the sturdy bricks, will stand the test of time. This image not only showcases the stunning floral arrangement but also evokes the atmosphere of romance and celebration that defines a wedding at this charming Palm Springs venue.
