Best of 2016: Bouts & Bouquets

Brittny Drye Founder + Editor-in-Chief of Love Inc. Magazine | On-Air Wedding Expert | LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in the Wedding Industry

Pantone may have called “Greenery” as the Color of the Year for 2017 but the trend certainly began in 2016. Our best boutonnieres and bouquets from the past year are full of creative details, such as trendy lush greens, alternative vessels, unexpected textural elements and even vegetables, all of which are guaranteed to inspire 2017 couples.

Creative Wedding Bouquet Alternative

The air plant‘s bendy leaves give a unique structure to this bouquet that is rounded out with dusty miller and veronica, creating a style that is full of texture. | Photography by B. Jones Photography | Floral design by Bella Fiori

Boutonniere with Feather

The epic details in this styled shoot transported us back to the 1930s where Bennie and Clyde, inspired by the iconic bank-robbing duo but with a modern, equality-minded twist, are gearing up for their happily ever after. The feathery addition adds the perfect vintage vibe to this bout and the rich palette is perfect for a fall wedding. | Photography by Ed & Aileeen Photography | Floral design by Zuzu's Petals

Eucalyptus Bridal Bouquet

When the bride is in wedding industry (she owns her own dessert company), you know the participating wedding pros are going to be top-notch!
