Thanks to inspirational wedding blogs like Style Me Pretty, The Wedding Chicks, The Bride’s Cafe, Wedding Bee and Snippet & Ink (just to name a few!) brides have amazing access to fabulous wedding ideas! As a floral designer I think it’s so much fun when a bride comes to me with an inspiration board (or ten!) filled with swatches, samples & images that express a certain charm or elegance she wants to capture on her wedding day. Brides and wedding planners alike are fortunate to have a plethora of current & eclectic wedding bloggers who share vintage, rustic, modern and formal events to admire & inspire!
You never know when inspiration will strike! I got inspired by these white ‘Patience’ roses & lavender sweetheart roses when I heard them calling my name in the cooler at my wholesaler yesterday. Garden roses are a classic, romantic choice for bridal bouquets and wedding work in general! Use them alone for a simple, clean look or add greenery, berries or tendrils for some flow.

What variety is this amazing lavender sweetheart rose? I must order some for myself!
I am not sure off the top of my head. I can see if my supplier can fill me and let you know!
Thanks Alison! I can’t wait to hear your findings!
I am told that they are ‘Marie Romantica’ and they are a small garden rose! They sure are perrrtty!
Ah-ha! I thought that might be the variety! They look pink in some photos and lavender in others, so I wasn’t sure. Thanks so much Alison!
