“Use beads, brooches, jewels, pearls and charms to dress up a simple ribbon-wrapped bouquet,” Brides magazine recently tipped.

How refreshing! Adorn otherwise plain and boring satin or silk ribbon-wrapped stems with anything sparkly, fitting, meaningful, or all of the above. Tie in elements or colors of your wedding to further personalize your wedding day look.

Get creative, and have some fun. Because it’s easy to get carried away, be sure that your handle compliments your bouquet, rather than overwhelms it; the flowers, after all, are the centerpiece of the bridal bouquet!

Flowers of all species are the latest in bridal fashion. Designers have taken a cue from mother nature and so we’re seeing blooms of all different sizes and shapes from small and simple rosettes to large and oversized blossoms.  Both bridal and bridesmaids gowns include applications such as as floral embroidery, appliques, and even floaral prints. The nature-inspred dresses are great for a Spring or Summer wedding, so consider implementing one of these details to your 2010 wedding dress.

Beautiful and talented Marla Sokoloff of The Practice married music composer Alec Puro at Il Cielo restaurant in Beverly Hills over the weekend.  Marla’s wedding details included amazing flowers from celebrity florist Mark’s Garden, cake from Buttercake Bakery, and a gorgeous strapless silk Amsale gown.

Weddingish has had the pleasure of working with Marla to complete the mini-details of her wedding.

Congrats Marla and Alec!
