Chic and Rustic Bouquets are Popular ♡
Wedding bouquets that brides hold to match their wedding dresses used to feature bright and colorful flowers and vibrant greens as the standard. However, recently there has been a growing popularity for chic flowers with subdued colors and rustic bouquets made solely from dried flowers.
Flowers used in these rustic bouquets include unique and rare names like King Protea and Pampas Grass.
Do You Know About “Banksia”?
This time, we would like to introduce one of the essential flowers for rustic bouquets, “Banksia”!
Banksia has a cylindrical brush-like appearance. From a distance, it can look like a large fruit.
It is a wild flower from Australia, characterized by its unique appearance, with over 1000 small flowers densely packed in one flower head (kajou).
The flowering period is from July to August, and its meanings are “pleasant solitude,” “courageous love,” and “wearing armor in the heart” ♩
Large Banksia flowers add a strong presence just by mixing a few into a wedding bouquet.
