Rich, plummy reds contrast with sweet peachy hues in this lush, painterly bouquet that's built on shades of two colors and a wealth of different textures: apricot and black parrot tulips, Iceland poppies in peach, ranunculus, Fritillaria persica, ‘Just Joey' roses and tulip leaves. Whimsical bugs and butterflies heighten the natural allure. By Ariella Chezar Design, ariellaflowers.com.
This classic white bridal bouquet goes airy and delicate—a more contemporary look. Wonderful for an outdoor wedding, the almost monochromatic composition includes white garden roses, anemones, hellebores touched with pale green, Fritillaria verticillata, grape hyacinths, viburnum and jasmine.

The bounty of field and forest gives this bouquet its earthy difference. ‘Terra-cotta' roses scent a bosky mix of foliage, including scented geranium leaves and copper photinia leaves. Fiddlehead ferns and echinacea (coneflower) add unique texture. The ribbon and antique bone buttons on the spine of the bouquet are lucky flea-market finds.

Think coffee colors, from milky latte to caramel macchiato. This bouquet of buttery 'Sahara' roses, 'Camel' roses, sweet peas and photinia leaves has an appealing, mellow flavor. The stem is wrapped in pleated, camel-colored dupioni silk ribbon, cinched with a terra-cotta-colored bow. By David Stark, Avi Adler event planning and design, aviadler.com.
This autumn bouquet starts with one extravagant, velvety ‘Black Baccara' rose. Encircle the rose with hydrangea blossoms, then echo the red with a row of petals, add a layer of violets, another of hydrangeas, and finish with a flourish of silvery ‘Rex' begonia leaves.
