Many brides do not have a great knowledge of flower varieties. But Elizabeth had worked for a florist during college and developed a sense of design and style, and it was fun to work with her. She chose mainly ivory flowers with hints of yellow and purple. Her bouquet included garden roses, lilac, tulips, freesia, and ranunculas. These flowers plus vines and greenery were used in arrangements at the church and the reception venue to create a lush, romantic look.
