Flower Power

If my life were a Nancy Meyers movie, I would be the owner of a charming little flower shop. How great would it be to spend my days creating creating beautiful arrangements and bouquets that serve one purpose -- to make people feel happy and special. Since I know very little about flowers and I'm not a 55 year old woman in a bizarre love triangle with Alec Baldwin or Jack Nicholson, this is probably not in my near future.

However, thanks to a photo gallery assignment for WEtv.com, I am learning a whole lot about wedding bouquets from the best in the biz. I found some fabulously talented florists from across the country who gladly shared images of breathtaking bridal bouquets. Since I only use about 12 images in a photo gallery, I thought I would post some extra pics here too, and of course on The Dubious Bride blog next week (so be sure to check that out)!
