Read along as Tavia highlights Sweet Bloom’s favourite vintage design of the 2014 wedding season.

Vintage/rustic/nostalgic… are common words to describe the ever growing vintage theme for weddings.  From vintage milk vases, to repurposed mason jars, and old tea cups…the vintage theme has grown exponentially.

My favourite part of being the lead designer of Sweet Bloom is the ability to explore and choose all the design elements.  When designing for Anne and Rej’s summer 2014 wedding, the vintage theme was evident in all aspects of the bride’s planning.  She hoped to have a bridal bouquet that reflected a vintage feel and was unique to her personal taste.  I selected garden roses in soft pink and white accented with eryngium. These beautiful, delicate, peony structured roses offered a perfect match for the vintage theme.  The bouquet was accented with white wax flower and seeded eucalyptus to complete the design.

Featured Book:

“Vintage Wedding Style” by Elizabeth Demos

Every wedding season brings about new ideas and design elements for unique creations. A recent wedding bloom trend is the addition of scabiosa pods into bouquets, boutonnieres, and centre pieces. Once an equally attractive flower, the scabiosa pod adds a slight brown/silver colour while making a strong visual element. Perfect as a small addition to bloom arrangements or clustered together for a dominant effect.

One of my favourite ways to gain new ideas and learn techniques from other expert designers is through literature. These inspirational books full of detailed, elaborate designs and new bloom information keep me on my learning journey and expand my knowledge base.

I often have to pinch myself to ensure I’m not dreaming…. Sweet Bloom IS my dream come true. In life we search for that one thing that truly is our passion. Something that makes us excited, provokes wonder and continues our learning journey. We look in all directions, seek guidance from others, and eventually trust OURSELF to make the choice. Making that decision brought new learning, funny stories and a connection with like minded creative people with whom I feel at home.
