TBS Inspiration: Creative Alternative Bridal Bouquets

Who says your bouquet has to be made of flower? There are many fun and budget friendly alternatives to the traditional floral bouquet. These wide varieties of bouquets are also a great way to show off your personal style! Origami flowers for a bouquet offer a fun and creative way to spice up your bouquet! You can choose from a variety of different patterns and colors of paper to show of your personal style! Or what about making your bouquet and checking off your “something borrowed” all at once? Use your mom and grandmas wedding dress fabric to make up beautiful fabric flowers for your bouquet! Maybe you’re having a destination wedding! Using shells is an eclectic way to coordinate your bouquet with your beach wedding! Not only are shells affordable but they are also sure to catch your guests eyes.

TBS Wedding: Amanda & Shawn

Unbelievable ...

that's the word that comes to mind when I think about this TBS Wedding.

Full of culture, love and unity.

This double-ceremony wedding was held Downtown Columbia, completed with both an American and Indian Wedding.  Two cultured, immersed in tradition. 

With a complete baraat downtown, the family and friends stopped traffic in their beautiful sari's and danced their way to the Bride and Bridesmaids.

The American Traditional Ceremony was stunning as well, with a list of All-Star Vendors, this wedding will not be forgotten anytime soon!

 Thank you Shawn and Amanda for choosing The Bridal Solution to plan and coordinate your wedding.  

It was truly beautiful!  Congratulations and many blessings your way!

TBS Inspiration: White Tulip Centerpieces

For Spring weddings, it's hard to beat the popular white tulip centerpiece. 

This cameleon flower is able to be dressed up or down for ANY wedding and decor.  

We love that they can look classy, contemporary, whimsical and rustic depending on how they are displayed!

 

 Dressed up or dressed down, you can go wrong with white tulips at your Spring Wedding!

French Cafe Styled Shoot + Lindsey Pantaleo Photography

The anticipation is over ... and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

 We were so honored earlier this year when Lindsey Pantaleo asked us to be a part of an upcoming Styled Shoot, set for late Winter, early Spring.  We didn't have to think twice about it.  If you've ever met Lindsey you know two things ... #1. She is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, as well as, down-to-earth and genuine.  and #2. She knows how to rock the camera lens!  Her photos are always amazing, and it's no wonder why she has become so successful running her own photography business!

Participating in the styled shoot was a no brainier!

The Bridal Solution styled the french-cafe shoot with neutral tones and earthy decor pieces that complimented the time of year and venue. 

 

We also paired up with other professional wedding vendors around Mid-Missouri as well, to create a one-of-a kind look for any bride!  The French Cafe Shoot was photographed at Canterbury Hill Restaurant and Winery in Holts Summit, Missouri, overlooking the Capital City.  It was an easy choice for their spectacular views and official grand re-opening!

TBS Inspiration: Dusty Miller

Lately we have been eying dusty miller everywhere in the flower world.  

From bridal bouquets, arrangements, boutonnieres and bouquets.  

This light green plant is the perfect addition, creating a softer look wherever added.  Dusty Miller is a suede, velvety foliage, that comes in different shapes and sizes.  This plant looks wonderful in Winter wedding arrangements, but when used in the Summer-time, looks amazing with pastel florals!

Used with traditional flowers, or paired with berries, dusty miller is an excellent choice!  We love it so much, we have begun to add the soft-colored plant to our signature tablescapes as well.  We just can't get enough!
