From Natural Beauties Floral… Located in the heart of Chicago, Natural Beauties Floral’s sisterly-duo is known for their romantic, lush design aesthetic. Their unique creations not only reflect timeless elegance, yet they are the epitome of style. Every wedding is designed with an array of textures, color palettes and one-of-a-kind floral compositions. Their bouquets are a collaboration of the designer’s artistry, the client’s personality and nature’s beauty.

When we began conceptualizing the palette for this luxe bouquet we envisioned rich hues of an autumn sunset. From splashes of fiery pepper reds in the sky to the final glimpse of the golden sun setting in the distance, our imaginations began to overflow with beaming visions. We started by selecting vibrant cherry blooms in various textures, as we determined it was the dominant color for our bouquet. Accentuating the stately reds, we chose crisp tangerine beauties forming a radiant color scheme. The apricot undertones brought softness to the bold crimson beauties creating a harmonious balance.

We commenced the design process by layering the beauties one by one to create depth and whimsy to our English style romantic bouquet. The detailing of each flower added another dimension to the bouquet making it a work of art. We sweetened our composite with wild blackberries and foliage for a touch of rustic elegance. The blackberries emphasized the noir centers of the anemones bringing a hint of edginess to the overall design; we love pushing the boundaries. To finish the bouquet, we adorned it with an oxblood ribbon treatment.
