I'm in love with this bouquet from a midwest wedding as seen on Clover and Bee this week. The pink peonies, feathers and brooch make this such a WOW bouquet. The florals were by Jenn of Modern Day Floral, whose work I adore. Photography was by Jen at JK Photography. To see more from this wedding, please visit C&B Daily here.{all previous Eye Candy Friday's can be seen here}

Bridesign.com offers fresh beautiful flowers for weddings at an affordable price for the bride looking to handle the floral decor herself. There are many floral packages and flower choices to select from and every arrangement is customizable. {I asked about this because I had sunflowers at my wedding and would have selected this package, but I noticed there was eucalyptus in the bouquet. Since eucalyptus and my nose do not get along, I was happy to know that it could be eliminated}
Below are two of the types of floral groups you can find at Bridesign {please see their site for all the other choices, including roses, hydrangeas, and more}. Following is a bit more detailed info on how the program works.
Sunflowers (full 18 pc collection for $580)

Today's Eye Candy features 2 gorgeous photos from Chelsea Elizabeth Photography. They're both simple, yet make such a statement. I really like how the limes in the vases are just scattered about the bottom and not packed in and precisely lining the outer edge as I often see done. There's something beautiful about them being placed as just an accent with the colorful gerberas. And, I love the next photo of the simple mini floral arrangements as I'm always drawn towards more delicate floralscapes.more from the above wedding can be seen here

I've fallen in love with the work of yet another floral designer, Nancy Liu Chin Designs {known for her exceptional flowers, and exceptional event design for weddings and special events}. Below are some of the amazingly beautiful creations from Nancy that I just have to share . . . {the last set are photos from 3 different events} I'm totally smitten with the sunflower arrangements as not only are these my favorite flower, they were also the main flowers for my wedding. I love the rustic feel and the vases with the striped table runner. {larger photos can be seen at Nancy Liu Chin Designs}The above featured florals are just a tiny sampling of the amazing eye candy that you can see in Nancy's portfolio on her web site.
