• NEW Wedding Ideas

After returning to Minnesota from a trip to California, Ashley Fox (of Ashley Fox Designs) couldn't get the gorgeous spring sunshine out of her mind. The result of her nostalgic memories was a romantic bouquet inspired by the sun drenched trees of the Sunshine State, which in turn inspired this Minnesotan photo shoot full of vintage and rustic ideas. Head to the full gallery here to see more images the fabulous David Grube Photography captured of this white wedding bouquet.

Ashley created this stunning bouquet using just five different blooms: 6 blooming lemon tree branches, 9 ‘Vitality’ garden roses, 7 cream stock, 10 white nerines and 2 stems jasmine vine.
From Ashley Fox Designs:After returning from my first trip to California I was in love with the memories of the light, warmth and scents of Palm Springs in March. A photo of lemon blossoms stayed with me long after my trip and inspired this photo shoot back in my home state of MN. To create the bouquet I used lemon branch cuttings from a local greenhouse and the rest of the cut flowers from a local wholesaler. The delicious perfume from this bouquet was as intoxicating as the CA sunshine itself.
