About LeAnne

Hi there! My name is LeAnne and I am a contributing blogger for Afloral.com. You may remember me from earlier bridal inspiration boards, as I have helped hundreds of brides with their wedding flower selections! After my own vintage Italian wedding (finally!!!) I'm back with a new name, a little floral advice, and a lot of love to all you brides-to-be out there!

Blue, Green, and Pink Wedding Inspiration Board

“Hi LeAnne,
My wedding is in May 2011. I originally had light pink and moss/fern green chosen as my colors, but I’ve decided to change that for two reasons. First is that my dress has some very nice silver and crystal beading. Second is that I decided that I am way more of a “blue” person than a “pink” person, and although I love pink in moderation I wouldn’t feel right unless my MOH was wearing blue. So I really want to go with a blue and silver theme but I don’t want it to come off as “winter-y”, so I thought I would also incorporate pale pink and the moss/fern green as well. But I can’t find the “right” inspiration from internet searches so I’m turning to you. Can you help??”

I created this inspiration board with flowers in pinks, greens, and blues. I think the bouquets would be beautiful and still “spring” if you made them using pink roses, blue delphinium and iris, and green hydrangeas. Wrap a silver ribbon around the bouquet stems to bring in the silver color and perhaps accent that with pink or blue pins! I hope this helps give you some ideas for your flowers!

“Hi I was wondering if you could make an inspiration board for my black, white, and wine wedding. My dress is going to be white, my maid of honor is wearing the wine color from David’s Bridal and my other bridesmaids will be wearing black. Thanks in advance!
Heather”

Heather, I created your board with flowers in black, white, and a wine toned purple (violet). For the bouquets, why not make them using white and black roses with the violet gerbera daisies? Or the violet gerberas, black roses, with a few white lily accents. Finish off the bouquets by wrapping the stems with a black ribbon and accenting with wine or white pearl pins. I hope this helps!

Lisa’s Silver, Sangria, and Green Wedding Inspiration Board

“Hi! I am planning a Spring 2011 wedding with the color Sangria from David’s Bridal as the main theme along with accents of green and silver. I need help for the flowers—thanks for any suggestions!!
Thank you so much!!
Lisa”

Lisa, I created your inspiration board with flowers in green and violet (which match the Sangria color beautifully)! I think the bouquets would look very pretty created with green spider dahlias, green cosmos, violet dahlias, and perhaps some sweetpea as accents. Complete the look and bring in the silver by wrapping a silver ribbon around the bouquet stems. I hope you like your board!

“Hi my name is Kim, I am getting married on the beach on April 23 2011. I am having the BM’s wear Alfred Angelos Jade style 7138. I want to do colors jade ivory with accents of corals and chocolate browns. This is inspired by wanting to use tropical colors but I want my flowers to have more of a romantic appeal like roses. Any ideas would be appreciated.”

Kim, I created your inspiration board with different flower types in the colors you mentioned above. What a beautiful color palette! I think the bouquets would look stunning made up with brown and ivory roses, peach apricot dahlias, and ivory phalaenopsis orchids (to bring in a hint of tropical). Accent with jade ribbon or bouquet jewels to complete the look. I hope this helps give you some ideas!

Peggy’s Jade, Orange, and Petunia Pink Wedding Inspiration Board

Peggy writes:
“So I need an ideal from flowers on the colors I picked out…My bridal dress are coming from Alfred Angelo. The colors are Jade and
Petunia and ideas on what flowers to use (oh and my accent color is orange) thanks!
Thank you,
Peggy”

Peggy, what a beautiful color combination you have chosen! Since we don’t have many flowers that are jade in color, I think create the bouquets with pinks and orange with jade accents. I think the bouquets would look great made up with watermelon pink roses, pink gerbera daisies, and orange lilies. Accent with seashell and pearl sprays or find a jade ribbon to wrap around the bouquet stems. I hope this board helps give you some ideas!
