The only thing that is really missing from this is a picture of my dream flowers. This boquet (from the 2006 fall/winter volume of Minnesota Bride...yes, before I was engaged) were the jumping off point of my inspiration. The boquet is a vintage inspired design that includes cymbidium orchids, Red Sox and Eveline calla lilies, Black Baccara and Blue Curiosa roses, thistle, cestrum, galax leaves and vintage beads. The picture is a stunning mix of oranges, yellows, purples, with touches of blue/green thistle! Our bouquets will all be based off of this photo and I cannot wait to see how they turn out!

Color palette:
Includes chocolate brown, taupe, orange, and burgandy. My dress and the guys' tux shirts will be ivory, so I included that. The color samples are the closest I could find.
