Ethereal Sunset Bridal Shoot w/ Bee Humble Photography
Originally Written on November 5, 2019
In this styled shoot, I designed an unstructured, wild garden-style bridal bouquet. All of the flowers I grew completely on my flower farm or picked from my backyard. The bouquet includes a beige-peachy-dirty white palette of: Dahlias, Lilliput zinnias, Zinderella Peach zinnias, Oklahoma Salmon zinnias, Xanthos cosmos, buckwheat in flower, dogwood leaves, wormwood foliage, Autumn Touch amaranth, Love in a puff, Sedum, Solar Flashback calendula, Asclepias physocarpa, dried daylily stalks, and Queen Anne's Lace.
I tied the bouquet together using a few of my own hand ripped, hand dyed silk ribbons. I happened to have a handful of peach colored ribbons on-hand, dyed from the skins of avocados this past winter.
I love collaborating with other local small business owners. Christina Henderson of Bee Humble Photography is one of the sweetest, most enthusiastic people I've come across in this industry. She is pure positive energy, lit up with smiles and her own adorable sense of humor! She gets my jokes, which makes it even better! *they see me rollin...*
Anyway, I found Christina on Instagram because I saw she posted a photo of two adorable little girls standing in front of a patch of bee balm - I recognized it immediately. It was my patch of bee balm at the flower farm! So I followed her and a few weeks later she asked me to make a bridal bouquet for a styled shoot. Making new friends and collaborating with amazing people is this simple in this day and age!
