Texture, Texture, Texture...More Texture Samples for a Late Spring to Early Summer Wedding

Some more great ideas for texture; but, this time for summer! In this sample, I used peonies, white veronica, saracena (the veiny calla looking flower), green trick, white and soft pink ranunculus, and beautiful bicolour roses (soft green and mauve). When discussing texture, as in the previous post, you can see that every flower offers a different feeling and look. The contrast of each varieties' texture creates a distinctive look for each flower; however, the arrangement brings unity to this beautiful blend to create a stunning bouquet that is simply...jawdropping. Thanks to Sheri of Capture It Photography in Edmonton. Amazing photos from a talented photographer.
