More beautiful wedding arrangements and bouquets from Planet Flowers, based in Scotland.

These beautiful pics arrived in my inbox early this morning from Gemma at Planet Flowers, in Edinburgh and are enough to put a smile on anyone’s face.

The bridesmaids bouquets, pictured above, were made from crystal blush calla lilies, green tricks, purple hydrangea, green condor hypericum, ivory roses, ivory spray roses. It was a vibrant summer wedding with lots of colourful flowers. They themed the rest of…
