We Love Floral Jewels, the latest book by British Vogue jewellry editor Carol Woolton.

We discovered the book on the world’s best jewelry blog, The Jewelry Editor:

“…this lavishly illustrated treasury features gem-laden blooms that will never fade away. Throughout history, flowers have been the inspiration for jewelers and the people who wore their creations… Divided into four seasons–and the flowers that bloom in them–this book explores the history of flowers in the fine jewelry world and features dazzling illustrations, original sketches and gouache paintings showing how these blooms have been translated into pieces that are both priceless and ageless.”

Irresistable, isn’t it? Perfect gift for the jewelry and flower lovers in your life, and a fantastic source of inspiration for wedding color schemes, details and floral decor! This 2010 Orchid brooch, by Cartier, is one of many featured pieces you’ll marvel over.

A touch of black brings sophistication, elegance and even drama. Above, one of our brides makes a statement in a gorgeous black fur shrug. Below, a bouquet we created with green cymbidium orchids and eggplant calla lilies (sometimes referred to as “black” calla lilies). Here are our picks, for brides who feel inspired to practice the dark arts.

Peacock Feather Bouquet

Luxe, jewel-toned peacock feathers make a bold statement in wedding decor and bridal accessories.

It seems only appropriate to include such fine plumage in weddings. After all, this bird’s audacious mating rituals rival our own poshest ceremonies and celebrations.
