“I have been searching for endless hours on the internet for inspiration for my vintage beach wedding.  I came across your website and loved what I saw.  The advice looked helpful so thought I would try..

My bridesmaids are wearing a vintage blue dress from Jcrew and the groomsmen are wearing linen suits (British khaki) with white shirts.  My gown is an ivory mermaid style from Melissa sweet.  I love the look of subtle vintage glamour but needing to involve a little color since the mother of the brides dress is coral.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!
Mary”

Mary, immediately when I hear vintage I think peonies.  So, I made sure to include a few different peonies on your board.  Since you are having a vintage beach wedding, I thought they may look nice mixed with some orchids — to bring in a bit of the tropics.  Since you are wanting to bring in some color complimenting of coral, I would recommend using cream and a soft coral for the main flowers, and bring in the blue with a nice accent flower and perhaps some ribbon around the bouquet stems.  I hope you like it!
