The Art of Flowers May 2012: Couture Cascade Bouquet

[@elitedesignsbydaphne]

This may not be the look for the average bride, but a STUNNING bouquet none the less.

[@b.j.h.1706]

She did call it couture. It is breath taking!

[@mtmeyer7327]

The snake bouquet! Feathers detract from those glorious orchids.

[@Everywhere2]

So sophisticated, so beautiful. Thank you for the ideas!

[@b.j.h.1706]

Gorgeous, different and inspiring. Thank you.

[@MsPoppy1967]

I love your work! Simple elegance.

[@sharonjenkins2620]

Great Bouquet. I'm making it for my daughters wedding in August. I want use the feathers, but they still look great in your bouquet. A real designer use and create different designs using great materials like feathers. For all of you who said the feathers look like snakes don't know design. I'm a floral designer. People say I do great work. I think I'm pretty good. I'm booked most weekends.

[@b.j.h.1706]

It's gorgeous.

[@IreneMendes]

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it

[@al-nisareid9944]

FABULOUS Mandy!!!!!!!!!

[@marazulization]

Loved it! Wow! 👏👏💐

[@randycox3232]

VERY ORIGINAL! I LIKE!👍

[@oOKingsleyOo]

I'm really amused that everyone thought the feathers looked like snake skins. I thought the bouquet was GORGEOUS. I wasn't too sure about it until I saw the model holding it against her dress. Then you really saw the impact it made, and it was stunning.

amaaaaazinggggggg

[@audrey1053]

I didn't like the bouquet until I saw it with the dress. The textures really compliment one and the other. I guess it's easy to forget that a wedding is a whole not a collection of bits...

[@mja1018]

Well, I can see by most of the posts here that very few of you a designers. If you are, I’d NEVER send an order to your shop for a customer. Very few of you have taste. Or even class for that matter. This bouquet is BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

[@b.j.h.1706]

Amen! It is meant to inspire and give ideas. This would be great for an ethnic wedding, outdoors, Fall, Winter...so many ideas on how to make a slight change or keep it as is. I love it.

[@secreteobsession3584]

It looked so beautiful at the beginning until she added wrong choice of cream flowers. Also not feeling the feathers in my opinion it looks like a crab or spider climbing out of this bouquet.

[@traceyfrugoli8973]

Cassandra Amore I feel like you missed the "couture" part.

[@mja1018]

It’s called design dear.

[@zorkasmile]

Beautiful! Where did you buy the orchids?

[@Mayesh]

Thanks Zory! We supply cut flowers, including orchids, to floral professionals.

[@martintress5083]

The Bouquet was very pretty until she added those feathers ..They just made it look ugly ,like snakes coming out of it ...Just saying.

[@claudettecielatka]

Yes! Lol

[@martintress5083]

LOL :)

[@dawnd9222]

OMG I thought the same exact thing! Not loving it.

[@txJoJo55]

Not to thrilled about those ugly feathers but to each his own :-)

[@claudettecielatka]

Ikr?

[@janesmith9950]

What a stupid idea to stick those feathers in just kills it !

[@Mayesh]

Thanks Coyaws!! Let us know if you have suggestions for our future videos!

[@goodmorning713]

Who would've thought that you could stick feathers in a bouquet.

[@jeffreywardlow422]

unfortunately, I'm with the popular opinion about the feathers. of course, its a matter of taste.

[@gottaluvme68]

Are those flowers real

[@123mvsmith]

I love the white cream on white, but I agree the pheasant feathers are a little too stark- I would have used ostrich feathers to complement...

[@janesmith7542]

Feathers in a bouquet such as this you have to be crazy . No no no.

[@tracehundley5489]

Why are you snipping and not cutting the flowers in a slant for a good drink. i understand the feathers but white would be just beautiful, the color choice is very poor for an aifd floral designer. As an aifd deisgner i would never do that color theme.

[@debbietrekell2385]

those feathers look like rattle snakes skins

[@mariaponce4235]

Those featheres take away the natural elegance of the orchids.

[@LaurelHeather]

anybody else think snake skin? I mean, lady demonstrating had a southern accent...what about peacock feathers?

[@davecsaszarable]

Too large and messy. I guess this is why this kind of bouquet went out of fashion. It's all made from organic material and it doesn't look organic at all

[@buckyboywv1]

sorry this wedding bokay is not pretty at all

[@janesmith7542]

You must be an armature.

[@geminicruz7702]

scary :( !!!!

[@haanh8035]

i see it like the snake

[@barbaramathis5765]

I have made a mistake, I didn't want to subscribe to this post. Please delete it and I will pay more attention next time. Thank you, Barbara Mathis

[@maryamramzy7963]

That's so ugly sorry

[@mariadoloresmunozperxachs9730]

lo siento pero me parece demasiado recargado un ramo que se hace visualmente pesado y no debe ser nada cómodo de llevar.

[@buckyboywv1]

whats this a designer not using a knife,I have been a floral designer for 37 yrs and I am not AIFD but just as good and i use a knife ,you new florist always use a knife to cut your flowers

[@randycox3232]

C Hirschmann ..... I prefer using Japanese Ikebana scissors..... predates floristry.....oh about 1000 years or so......give or take.

[@Cosinandoen]

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@MaryJambh]

Looks like snakes around it...

[@gemdaniel3793]

[@kettlyaubain8805]

[@taeyeonhahn90]

[@dianafeliciano741]

I not feeling those feathers to me it takes away from the beauty of the flowers.
