Spring Wedding Flowers : ideas for bouquets and floral arrangements

For many wedding florists and floral designers, I'm thinking you may have heard of The Chapel Designers {an international network of florists and event designers} that was created by Holly of Holly Heider Chapple Flowers. The Chapel Designers is a group of amazing floral designers from across the country and each of these designers "focus on getting you to the chapel with a full bouquet in hand". To help with today's post, Holly got in touch with her team of floral experts and several of them delivered the most gorgeous spring blooms to my inbox, even Holly sent along some of her designs whose style has become called "hollyish" - I LOVE THAT! Come enjoy the spring colors and beautiful floral creations {oh, and you'll likely want to pin away, which of course is totally ok} . . .
