I like 4 the best… it’s the most unusual and I am all for unusual. I also think that it would have fit my own winter wedding almost 10 years ago!
How in the world can you just pick one? Each is a unique blend of your creativity and the bride’s vision for her special day. That being said, I love #3 for the use of purples, the mix of texutres and the sizes. It just makes me smile every time I look at it.
#25 is gorgeous!
UMMM #10!!! Because (a) it’s mine and (b) it was an AMAZING masterpiece of pink, orange & fluffy flower goodness :)
But in all seriousness…. every.single.one. of these should be on the cover of magazine. You’re amazing & I LOVE them!!! xo!!
9! I LOVED Siobhan’s bouquet! Although I’m kinda partial to 12 as well, SO stinking feminine and sweet!! <3
I know I am a little biased but I loved my flowers! They were one of my favorite things of our wedding!! So I will have to go with #3! :) All of these are stunning!! Your work is amazing!
#10 – – because that was my daughter’s bouquet and you did an AMAZING job of capturing her vision!
#25 for obvious reasons of being my own, but more so because it exceeded anything I could have ever envisioned in my own head.
#25!
#25 :)
I think far #3 was the best. The flowers were gorgeous.
Well, I’m obviously going to vote for #16/18 (they’re the same!). You did an amazing job perfectly articulating my vision through flowers, even without ever having an in-person planning meeting. Plus the colors really looked great in my photos – vibrant and almost like they are on fire! I love it!
#25 beautiful colors are amazing
#25 because I was the groom in this wedding!
#25 – the most vibrant arrangement!

#6 Caitlin and TJ. Beautiful flower combination! :)
#10- Kat’s wedding was beautiful but her bouquet said it all about her! The flower colors and arrangement couldn’t have been more perfect for her stunning day! Grat job!
#10. Enough color to pop but still have a traditional bridal look. Gorgeous fluffy blooms almost as pretty as the bride.
Can’t stop looking at #10. Absolutely beautiful!!!!
#5. Classic, a little rugged, and beautiful!
How in the world do you ever just pick one of those?! They are all stunning for different reasons. So, I’ll choose #10, mainly cuz I know Kat haha. But what I love about her bouquet is how perfectly it tied together her whole day and theme. I love the ribbon and the flowing greenery.
#27, is absolutely stunning! I only wish I lived in your area so that I could one day have you as my florist :)
#6. Colors are beautiful together. They represent love, peace, and eternity!
I vote for # 6 Caitlin and TJ. It was soooo awesome!
I love #9! Gorgeous!!
I love #19. I love the purple flowers and the white hydrangea in the bride’s bouquet.
I vote for 27
#6 is beautiful! The wedding was absolutely gorgeous as well :-)
#14 is my favorite, because I attended that shoot and I remember absolutely loving the gorgeous, vibrant colors of the bouquet and how well it complemented the dress!
#25 is absolutely beautiful. The shades of purple blend so well together with the pop of green. Great Job!!
#25….beautiful!!
They are all so gorgeous, so hard to pick just one! My vote is for #3. The blend of purples really “pop” against her dress, while the blend of flowers look so soft and etherial, very “fairy tale” like.
#21 – Jordan and Jake! Just stunning!
I love #22 Mindy & Ben’s Wedding. The purple roses are so beautiful.
#6 is gorgeous! Caitlin & TJ
#25 is gorgeous!
#22
Love # 25…colors are so classy and majestically beautiful! fit for a bride who looks like a queen for a day
No.25 is beautiful!
I like #22 the best!
22. Mindy and Ben. Beautiful blooming flowers. Very soft and elegant
I like NUmber 22 Mindy and Ben. Love the purple and white.
#22. The simplistic nature of the soft lilac flowers made this arrangement the most pleasing as it was not wild or over the top. It was designed to enhance the brides beauty not distract the onlookers eyes. A job well done.
# 24 The beautiful bold Colors ,there are many beautiful bouquets ,but i like also the natural effect and it complements the bride :-)
I am not seeing enough love for #27!?!?! I love those colors and the size! Admittedly it is an insanely difficult choice, all those designs are fabulous and deserve a vote :)
24 bc nothing beats a sunflower! The way you made them stand out so boldly took my breath away
#24 this bouquet looks like its alive, honest and natural, not just cut flowers I love it!
#10! Because the colors were perfect for Kat’s wedding and the flowing greenery makes the bouquet look so whimsical!
#24, they are all beautiful but I love the sunflowers!
#24 truly stunning
Well done!
I vote for Number 24 because the uniqueness of the flowers complements the beauty and individualized style of the bride. The bouquet captured the natural essence of the celebration.
The colors were beautiful colors for the fall. Loved the sunflowers. Also loved the antique lace around the flowers.
#22!!!!! The flowers are simple, but hold a special meaning to my husband and I and that is why I selected them for my bouquet. We are both in the National Guard and met right before our deployment, these roses were the first flowers he sent to me after we spend our first weekend together before we both deployed and were seperated for the first year of our relationship. Amanda- all the flowers you design are amazing, but thank you for making our wedding so special and wonderful!
#6 is beautifully arranged. The unique greens accent the oranges and pinks and the bouquet perfectly reflected the bride’s vibrant, creative personality.
I love number 5 the best :)
#3! It is absolutely stunning! I’ve never seen orchids used that way before and it looks breathtaking. That bouquet is the emanation of the word ‘serenity’. I love purple, I love orchids and the design is fabulous! I was never to sure what colors I would want for my wedding but this bouquet definitely makes me gear toward purple. And roses are my favorite flower so congrats on making a bouquet so exquisite that I would actually consider not having a full rose bouquet. Just lovely!
So hard to just pick one!! But I will and that would be #8. Love the soft colours.
I like #13. Free Form is my favorite to photograph.
My favorite bouquet is #3! Love these!
#5 is my favorite!
These are all just stunning! I think #5 is very romantic and soft.
#5
#30 I love the addition of the greenery. The color really pop without being too much.
Number 9 is amazing!! I love the big, open flowers and the succulents!!
#23 is my favorite its just so stunning.
#10 definitely!! I LOVE the ribbon details and the textures of the flowers used, I want to call them “ruffley” even though I’m pretty sure that isn’t a real word… I love the right amount of color against the whites which, along with the SIZE of this bouquet, make it distinctly a bridal bouquet. Just beautiful!!!
I love #30!!!!
Number 5 is gorgeous!
#5!
Number 4 is my favorite. It is so different.I love anything different and unique, and that one sure is all of that and more. Georgeous.
#20. They are all beautiful but this one is so unique and different. I would’ve loved it on my wedding day! I hope some of my brides this year have amazing bouquets like these!
#5. It was the bouquet of my dreams – effortless, timeless, and elegant. Plus it made my bridesmaids bouquets POP in all our photos (and the rest of my flowers were equally as gorgeous!)
#25 – the colors are so vibrant and rich. Love it!!
#5. I love the gray and white color of the bouquet- it exudes “simple elegance.” The textures of the different flowers keeps it modern and interesting. Beautiful.
I really like #4 because it is so different! Beautiful work.
I love the colors and uniqueness of #2, but they are all so gorgeous!
Oh my Amanda….you do make it so hard to pick a favorite. I swoon over your artistic eye and the way you put flowers together. So inspiring and beautiful! But…I’m going to go with #27. Love the pop of color.
#4 is my favorite! For it’s sheer uniqueness and just wow. Though I also love #30. Your work is always stunning!
#6, #9, #13 or #25 are my favorites!!!
#16! I love orange :)
#24. Love the arrangement of the colors. The lace is wonderful. #24 should b the winner.
13 gets my vote
27 has my vote
They are all beautiful! My vote is for #12!!
#3 is my favorite. The purple orchids are so intense, I love them!
#3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 ,19 21, 23, 28!! Hopefully I didn’t miss any ; ) All of your bouquets are gorgeous but nothing beats our Stevenson Ridge brides!
3 is my favorite, I love the colors.
#10 is beautiful because it ties in so well with the bridesmaids. Love the flowers and the ribbons!
#5 fo sho! So beautiful!
#22 absolutely! The simplicity of the flowers coordinated with the dresses is gorgeous. The bride’s roses are so unique and the photo is great too.
I vote for #21. It is delicate and romantic and just plain SWEET! I don’t know any of the couples or photographers. All of your bouquets are lovely! Great work!
#3, love the combination of purples used here! Beautiful work!
I love #19 because it’s as if you took the picture I didn’t even know was in my head and made it real. It was exactly what I wanted :) But I also really love #25 and #29 too! How beautiful!
I love #27!!!!! Katie and Rob :-)
#3 for me….all are gorgeous, but that one just stands out…lovely!
#5!!!
#4! LOVE!
Can I vote for myself? lol! #9 of course, because I love what you did with my bouquet. But all of your creations are lovely.
How can I pick just one?! I’ll choose #4 because of it’s lack of a focal flower…so unique! It’s pretty much foliage and accent flowers, but it’s still freaking fantastic. It’s all drippy and flowing and awesome.
#21 is the best :)
