Bouquet Breakdown: Colorful Vineyard Wedding Inspiration

I nearly fell out of my chair when I set sights on this beauté of a bouquet that we featured last winter. It’s a gem that would shine any season, but I’m especially loving this distinctive palette of coral, huckleberry and peach for a pop at fall fetes. The talented team at Bows + Arrows is giving us the breakdown this weekend paired with imagery from Sarah Kate and Joshua Aull. See the whole shoot in THE VAULT.

From Bows + Arrows… We are dedicated to the creation of beauty via the art of floral design. Alicia works with her environment, gathering inspiration from the landscape and working with seasonal flora. Her philosophy is found in nature, she believes her work to be a reflection of what is natural, lush, relaxed and overgrown. She is in love with flowers.

Creative Director, Alicia Rico, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from TCU with an emphasis in Painting. Her formal art training informs decisions of composition, color, and texture and she gathers constant inspiration from nature, art, and everything beautiful.

From Alicia… I had the best time in California sourcing and creating this bouquet! I visited the LA flower market and the farmers market to find the variety of blooms and derived my exact color palette from what was in season and what was the most beautiful! Knowing that I was working with a vineyard as my setting, I wanted to create a look that was harmonious with the landscape and worked with the plump dark grapes that surrounded us.
