Wedding inspiration _ flowers III

I have made 2 previous posts about wedding flowers. I made one on alternative wedding bouquets (fabric, silk bouquets, including toys, family air-looms,etc) that you can see here.  You can see the second one here . And the third one here.  I recently started looking at these flowers and think that they are super cool. A bit crazy, but unique. What do you think?
These are all bouquets where the Protea is the main flower, usually combined with roses, brunea, banksia and eucalyptus leaves and gum-nuts. 

So I know this is a bit querky, and I have no idea if my boyfriend would be "modern" enough to go along with the idea of putting Artichokes on the chairs down the aisle. But how cool is this? And I think they would fit SO well together with the Proteas I want to use in my bridal bouquet! 

The combination of the wild magestic Protea together with the classical pink roses. I'm not much for roses usually and I'd never have a bouquet with just roses, but this combination does work very well. 

Silver Brunea balls are a cool combination together with the Protea as a table decoration. 

A protea as a table decoration.

I'm loving this combination of the extremely unique and wild looking Protea together with soft classical white/cream roses. Also the green  Brunea (I think) give an interesting look. 

Protea and eucalyptus leaves and gum-nuts.

Seriously, how cool is this bouquet? Protea and eucalyptus leaves and gum-nuts. 

A mix of different types of Protea and Banksia.

These are very Aussie looking bouquets.  The bridal bouquet's protea surrounded by gumnuts and the bridesmaids bouquet with a central Banksia.

Wedding inspiration _ flowers

 For my wedding bouquett I want to use native Australian flowers. Being half australian I want to bring that into the wedding somehow. Australia has some very unique and absolutely gorgeous flowers and I think they will look stunning in a wedding bouquett! I want quite a wild looking group of flowers. Not many of the same kind, different colours, and having a very pale green leaf surrounding them. In general I love olive leaves but even eucalyptus leaves have a very nice colour. There is one kind that has small round leaves that I think will look great (I just have to try and remember what they're called).

I'm not sure if all of these flowers are native Australian or if they originally come from South Africa. But don't they look great? What stunning flowers!

Here's a way to integrate the "yellow and grey" theme even in the flowers.

I love this fun bouquett with yellow ball flowers (forgive my lack of knowledge of the actual names... if anyone knows the real names I'd love to know!).

Look at the great colours in this bouquett! This is so stunning. And I would love to have flowers like this especially if I use colours such as grey, champagne, grey/blue at the wedding. In that case these flowers would really get a lot of attention and brighten up the room!

Many girls I've shown my flowers to prefer this kind of bouquett. Probably because it's more traditional and "girly". I do like the fact that the flowers are champagne coloured as well as the playful seed balls. Also the dark maroon coloured flowers give a good contrast.

I like the dark center in these flowers.

Alium is one of my favorite flowers in general. They are too big to integrate in the bridal bouquett, but perhaps I can use them as table centerpieces. I will only use them if I also deside to have a "blue/grey" colour theme.

I love this colourful wild bouquett! Isn't it gorgeous? Such unique flowers with such vibrant colours and shapes.

This bouquett is too classic for my style, but I do like the twigs and the hay around the sides. I definitely won't be using roses for mine, but I do like the colour of these roses.
