Monday kicked off our week-long series on Unstructured Bouquets. In case you missed it, you can view the first post here. You can also find great example photos on our dedicated Pinterest board “The Future is Unstructured” – we will be adding photos featuring each spotlight ingredient day by day.
Today’s Ingredient: Queen Anne’s Lace
Queen Anne’s lace isn’t your grandmother’s flower anymore, it has intricately delicate blooms that add mass and volume but at the same time conveys a loose airy feel to an unstructured design. They tie in the theme of florals freshly picked the morning of the wedding from a field or prairie. What’s not to love about this classic? My recommendation is to avoid Queen Anne’s lace in extreme heat unless it has a water source, lace flower will wilt quickly when left out of water in the hot summer months.
Currently, dvflora.com offers Queen Anne’s Lace from California (27796) and Ecuador (21064):
