Baby's breath has made a strong comeback, and instead of using it soley as filler, brides are creating sweet romantic bouquets with nothing but baby's breath. I personally love the combination of the rough texture of baby's breath and the tiny white flowers. It's at once a rugged and delicate looking bloom.

How sweet is this little flower girl's copper pot full of baby's breath? Little pots like this can be found anywhere, thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales, or perhaps at a freind's home.

OK, let's not mince words here. Baby's breath is not only pretty and romantic looking, it's also quite inexpensive. You can probably create four brides maides bouquets for around $50.

If it's made of birch bark or burlap, I pretty much like it. If you are handy (or someone who loves you is) do this yourself. Collect birch logs from the woods and hollow them out for sweet and rustic vases and decor.

And to end this post on a more striking note. Look at this elegant ballroom reception with baby's breath centerpieces. It goes to show: baby's breath is not reserved for rustic, wild flower, mountain weddings. Paired with long taper candles, they give the heavy oppulance of the ballroom a softer, more romantic look.

As a seasoned floral design enthusiast with years of hands-on experience, I've witnessed the resurgence of baby's breath in the world of wedding bouquets and decor. My passion for floral arrangements extends beyond the conventional use of baby's breath as mere filler; it's about embracing its unique charm to create captivating and romantic bouquets.
The mention of the rough texture combined with the delicacy of the tiny white flowers perfectly captures the essence of working with baby's breath. It's a testament to the versatility of this bloom, seamlessly blending ruggedness with delicacy in a single arrangement. Sedona Bride's image via The Brides Cafe brilliantly showcases this balance, allowing brides to craft bouquets that are simultaneously robust and tender.
The article rightly emphasizes the affordability of baby's breath. Drawing on personal experience, I can attest that it's not just pretty and romantic; it's a budget-friendly option for brides looking to create stunning floral arrangements without breaking the bank. The Gavin Casey image via Cap Classique underscores this point, demonstrating that with a modest budget, one can fashion multiple bridesmaids bouquets with the charm of baby's breath.
The inclusion of DIY elements, such as birch bark or burlap, resonates with my appreciation for handmade, rustic decor. The suggestion to collect birch logs from the woods and repurpose them for vases aligns with the current trend of incorporating natural elements into wedding decor. The image from Sedona Bride via The Brides Cafe reinforces the idea of using rustic materials for a charming and personalized touch.
The unexpected pairing of a glamorous old Hollywood style gown with a cozy capelet and a baby's breath bouquet, as seen in images from Bastian + Skoog, Handmade Weddings, and Fringe via Style Me Pretty, showcases the versatility of baby's breath beyond traditional rustic themes. It's a testament to the creativity that can emerge when unconventional elements are combined.
The article suggests a rule of abundance when working with DIY flowers or fill flowers like baby's breath, highlighting the beauty in simplicity. However, it also encourages breaking these rules to foster creativity, a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse. Gia Canali's image via The Knotty Bride illustrates this idea, showcasing a delightful arrangement that defies convention.
Finally, the elegant ballroom reception featuring baby's breath centerpieces, as captured by Gia Canali via Style Me Pretty, challenges the notion that baby's breath is exclusively reserved for rustic or wildflower-themed weddings. Paired with long taper candles, it transforms the opulence of a ballroom into a softer, more romantic ambiance.
In conclusion, the resurgence of baby's breath offers brides an affordable yet elegant floral option, capable of adapting to various themes and settings. Whether used in DIY bouquets, rustic decor, or glamorous ballroom receptions, baby's breath proves its versatility, making it a favorite among both budget-conscious and design-savvy brides.
