Hot Wedding Trend: Using antique jewelry to jazz up your bouquet

Recently I had the privilege of photographing a very thoughtful (and beautiful!) wedding. The bride had put beautiful sentiment into every single inch of her wedding and I was truly touched by so many things that it is hard to highlight just one. Although, I literally welled up with tears when I saw her bouquet sitting on the coffee table of her hotel room. It was stunning!!! See for yourself :
Gorgeous right? Then she laid it on me… the jewels inside the flowers, are pieces of antique jewelry from her grandmother’s collection. The stems are also bound with a bracelet. Instant tears… how special, and beautiful!!! I SO wish that thoughtful things like this had been trendy years ago when I was married. I have always kept a few pieces of my grandmother’s jewelry and will continue to in hopes that Kyleigh may want to use it when she is married.
So how does one go about attaching these pendants? These were actually attached to SILK florals and arranged sporadically with her beautiful fresh flowers. The floral design was created by Suzi of Magnolia Floral Designs here in Lexington, KY.
Thank you Kristen for allowing me to share your creative efforts!! Your wedding was truly gorgeous and I count it my honor to have been there to capture the day! Congratulations and Best Wishe as you celebrate your new life with Alan!

Mackenzie and Chris were married at the Andover Country Club in Lexington. The wedding was coordinated by Jackie Lee of Every Last Detail Wedding and Event Counseling. The Floral Design was by the fabulous Suzi at Magnolia Floral Design. Cake was by Tinker’s. I think that was the hottest wedding of the year but no one was deterred! The club was elegantly draped with gorgeous decor as was the ceremony location. My personal favorite touch was the rose petal monogram in the aisle!!! The day culminated the breathtaking entrance of the bride into the ceremony riding with her Daddy in the horse drawn carriage. Very magical and VERY Cinderella. Everything a little girl dreams of.
Mackenzie and Chris,
We wish you nothing but blue skies and laughter for the rest of your lives. We hopes that your paths are straight and that life hands you roses that sparkles like those in your bouquet. We wish you happiness, wealth and all the love that you can find in the world!!!
Troy and Amber
