Beautiful Blooms

Let floral experts add personal touches to your bridal bouquet.

Your bridal bouquet, just like every other detail of your nuptial day, should be a direct reflection of who you are and what you love. Marsha Hunt and Bridget Connell, owners of Haute Floral Boutique, who, in addition to dreaming up sublime wedding décor, are experts at fashioning truly unique, personalized bouquets and taking care of every little detail.

“Bridal bouquets nowadays are filled with meaning and sentimentality,” says Connell. “Kate Middleton used Sweet William and myrtle branches from a plant that had been a part of every royal bouquet since Queen Victoria.”

According to Connel, brides want their bouquets to mean something, and Haute Floral boutique specializes in making bouquets a reflection of who the bride is. “Brides are using their favorite flowers and incorporating buttons, bows, ribbons, feathers, or jeweled accents; basically, whatever it is they love, whatever represents their personality.”
