How to Create a Cascading Protea Bouquet ♥
Using a beautiful combination of cascading greens, crisp white blooms and a striking large pink King Protea as the focal point, today’s wedding bouquet is fresh and fabulous! Styled by Aartsappel for beautiful bride Storme, and captured by photographer, Claire Thomson, it’s filled with a selection of greens and fynbos which we just adore. “The inspiration for this bouquet was a combination of soft, loose and cascading blooms and a large, hardy King Protea,” shares South African bouquet designer, Tanya, of Aartsappel. “We used lush open roses and soft greenery to create the oversized flowing bouquet, as the king protea makes a big impact as a single flower!”
Tanya shares that when working with a floral designer, it’s great to use pictures as inspiration: “Then trust the florist you are working with to create a unique bouquet that suits your, length, look and personality!
