The Idea Board | Hug-Proof Boutonnieres

Grooms and groomsmen always look strapping in their sharp suits and shiny shoes but after hours of dancing and hundreds of hugs, the guys' boutonnieres can be left looking a tad bit sad. No fear, we have solutions for hug-proof boutonnieres! Try pinning on a cute medallion in your wedding colors or go for something unique like a Japanese Knot, believed to bring the recipient good luck. You could also ask your florist to use fiddle-head ferns which come in a variety of colors, lay flat against a lapel, and can withstand lots of hugs!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Our Favorite Bouquets

I adore beautiful flowers and because we work with some of the best florists around we were privy to some absolutely stunning wedding bouquets last year. Being surrounded by such gorgeous flora we get so spoiled with all of the pretty  - it's a little overwhelming! Since we are all SO ready for color, Spring, Summer, and more flowers, I wanted to share some of our favorites from last year!
