A Wedding Bouquet like you've never seen before . . . with veggies

This has got to be the most clever and unique bridal bouquet I have ever seen. Since the bride owns her own catering company - the bouquet was made of fresh vegetables and silver spoons acted as the flower stems. And, in keeping with the theme, the groom's boutonniere was a baby carrot. I LOVE this because it's a bride who's ok to stray from the ordinary wedding bouquet and do something totally different that fits her personality and style. Found via Brides.com

Eye Candy Friday : v82 {bejeweled silk floral bouquets}

When I saw Marie of Emici Bridal share her latest handmade silk bouquet this week, I knew right away it would end up being this week's Eye Candy Friday. Her floral bouquets are simply breathtaking. Originally Marie was creating white, cream and blush colored bouquets, but just recently she's branched out to try some colorful ones. And, they are definitely winners. Her latest, the bottom right bouquet, is part of her new one of a kind bouquets that are inspired by iconic cities. This particular one happens to be Seattle, hence the large emerald flower for the Emerald City. Next up for Marie, she'll be creating a bouquet for Paris.

Eye Candy Friday : v81 {a watercolor bouquet, or is it?}

I'm in love with these bouquets, aren't they breathtaking? They look just like a watercolor painting. I've never seen such a spectacular blue and purple bouquet. {photographed by Shannon Lee Images}
