Anthomanic Wedding and Event Boutique Unique Floral Designer Artist

This was a shoot we designed ourselves, with inspiration from Tim Burton — dark, yet fun, romantic and whimsical. The color inspiration was plum, black and white with gold accents. Do you see how the flowers tie together and compliment and complete by adding a softness and a romantic element to this very edgy look. Oreo cookie favors with milk, top hats, black lace, black and white striped cake, gold flatware, and a plum and red amaranthus bridal bouquet! See more from this set, here. This bad boy was published on Rock N Roll Bride!

Flowers are more than just another ‘obligatory’ wedding item. They have the power to tie together and bring out personality, character and style to your wedding. If you choose a florist that understands your vision, and can take your budget and make the best of it with the perfectly chosen flowers, your wedding photos will pop even more! Of course they aren’t ‘required’, but can make an amazing personality and style statement not only on the day-of to your wedding guests, but when you get your wedding photos back, it can really set the tone of the day by complimenting all other elements — complimenting your cake, your venue, the season, and of course — your personality!

We designed a bouquet to fit the lightbulb, dreamer theme — complete with cotton and light bulbs in the bouquet and soft, fluffy floral such as peonies, sweet peas, lisianthus, and dusty miller in the pale pink, grey and white theme of the shoot. I think this came out so dreamy, soft and cozy!

I am so excited that I was chosen to write DIY posts for the super-cool blog, Green Wedding Shoes! For the past year [or so], I have worked with many different wedding and event vendors on styleshoots in an attempt to not only get some cool pics of our designs to show off … but to also get the chance to earn the coveted position on being on one of the BIG, well-known wedding blogs in the nation. One of which, is Green Wedding Shoes. They have a discerning aesthetic and only the coolest of the cool makes it on to their website. The great thing about it, is that the ideas they share for weddings aren’t un-realistic or too far fetched for the ‘average’ bride to purchase, make or obtain all while being GORGEOUS and cutting edge. I love their blog because it also has a sort-of [and this is just MY opinion] edge to the things they post. So, I am super excited that I have been chosen to contribute to their DIY section some flower ideas for weddings! Not to mention being listed as one of their recommended ‘Floral Artists’Our posts will be done bi-monthly starting in January, and I will post a link on our Facebook page, as well as here. We hope you will find our ideas fun and inspiring– Amanda

YAY! We finally have a workshop scheduled! Click here [or go to the 'Workshops' page to the left]

We hope to see you there! — Amanda, Anthomanic
