Baby's Breath. YES Baby's Breath

There are a few flowers that in my opinion get a really bad rap. (*more of this list to come)
Baby's Breath is probably at the top of that list.


The poor bodega flower has built a reputation of being the "cheap filler flower" used in the arrangements you'd get at a grocery store, bodegas and unfortunately still some flower shops. ( And because its primarily used as a way to mask the small amount of flowers they are bundled with it always makes me think of a cheap date. )


BUT the truth is if you use ANY FLOWER (en mass) by themselves they are always breathtaking! And Baby's Breath is no different (and to most a surprising reality!)


If you look at Baby's Breath up close you'll see it's actually a beautiful, delicate and very romantic grouping of flowers. To me there's something ethereal and kind of effervescent about them. They feel almost cloud like. Really perfect for a modern romantic wedding.






So the next time you see Baby's Breath give it a closer look.  I am here to attest that Baby's Breathe (done right) CAN be elegant, gorgeous and unforgettable!
  

*And Yes Baby's Breath does have a strange (un flower like) scent however in a large open space such as this one it was completely undetectable.

  1. Thoroughly agree! we love working with baby's breath but it takes some convincing, poor flower has such a stigma! We just did a wedding in April with massed baby's breath that looked MAGICAL! All the best,
