Soft Textures
10-inch, hand-tied bouquet of assorted spidery gerbera daisies, trimmed with eyelash wire ribbon; self-adhesive Austrian crystals (which can be purchased at specialty craft and florist supply stores) were added to match the bride’s gown
Brides who are looking for something new and different can easily incorporate innovative design by simply choosing flowers with varying textures to complement the wedding’s location and enhance the texture of her dress.
The plant world is full of soft textures, especially in fall, when grasses produce a wide array of inflorescences (flower spikes) that look like feathers. If you want softness in the spring and summer, you can always incorporate feathers into a bridal bouquet to soften its lines. Also in the spring, a soft-textured gown looks great with soft, spidery daisies or fringed tulips that are frayed and look like they have been given a razor cut. “Chopped up” petals diffuse light in an elegant way.
