Here at Love and Thistle, we love a little wacky, a little off, and a little non traditional. I don't always get to highlight the offbeat designs, so I wanted to dedicate a blog post to some unique designs and weddings that we've been so honored to be a part of.
This past Halloween, Renee and Ryan were married in a Halloween Harvest Extravaganza. Does this look like one heck of a party or what? Renee requested that her bouquet and the boutonnieres reflect the Harvest side of their nuptials rather than the spookier side (even though I was dying to use skull pods I refrained!). Mini pumpkins, autumnal foliage & berries, curly willow, grasses, and orange lilies by request graced the bouquet with a seasonal boutonniere that managed to match the groom's custom Firefly replica garb impeccably.

And can we all pause for a moment to admire the Bridal shoes? John Fluevog. Swoon. You must know that I certainly have a thing for shoes (see my wedding shoes here). When I delivered Renee's flowers, I stood around probably a little too long oohing and awing and gawking.

During the peak of summer, Bethany and Bryan were married in another colorful affair.
Bethany asked for a colorful bouquet of local wildflowers, and when she showed me her mismatched bridesmaid dresses and mismatched glitter shoes that she and each of her maids wore, I asked if I could make equally mismatched bouquets. With the green light, I headed to a local PYO flower farm where I snipped each bloom (yes!!! what an incredible farm to live down the road from!) and finished each bouquet with glitter streamers to match. And the groomsmen?? Boutonnières to match their mismatched ties.

Can you spot the little tomatoes on the vine? These might be my favorite bouquets, ever. Ever. Every single bit (minus the eucalyptus) was grown locally. The orange dahlias in Bethany's bouquet and the white lisianthus were purchased from a local farm and all other blooms and veggies and herbs were picked by yours truly.

Can you tell I love boutonnieres? It's the littlest details. Dude flowers. A quick glimpse at a few of my favorites from the beginning of the year. Habanero peppers, air plants, grains, ribbons and twine.
