05 Jul 24 of the Most Breathtaking Lowcountry Bouquets
Y’all. You have no idea how many luxurious bouquets land in our inbox! Whether they lean toward simplicity or elaborate, these beauties inspire like mad. For some serious eye candy (and to share with your own florist), here are our 24 favorites from some of the Lowcountry’s most talented flower whispers.
Leslie Liberis, the owner of Branch Design Studio, says she and her team love experimenting with different bloom combinations, like the mix seen in bride Jennifer’s bouquet (plus those of her wedding party). To get such a fetching combination, Leslie says to give your florist your wishes, then let them interpret that. “We may just have a fun recommendation you would never have thought to include,” she says.”

Love peonies, like these pink dreamboats? Gayla Harvey, co-owner of Tiger Lily Weddings, says to keep in mind the season. “Allow [your florists] to get the best available seasonal bloom to fits the design,” she says. A bonus with working with pros is that they can often find a similar flower to sub in if your first choice isn’t available, and they also have great connections to international growers.

“I trust my intuition,” says Ann Cunniffe of The Purple Magnolia. “If I see a plant at a nursery or something growing on the side of the road that I think will add to the beauty of the design for a wedding, then I buy it or I pull over and forage it.” We think she nailed it with Leah’s bouquet (and with those of her maids).
