I made this bouquet today. The bride has chosen her wedding bouquet to be Australian native flowers so I selected a mix of Protea pink ice, orange Cordifolium and yellow Leucodendron, Wax, Berzelia and the Brushing Bride.
The Brushing Bride is grown in Australia, originated from South Africa and is a member of the Protea family. Many Australian native plants belong to this same family.
The Brushing Bride is light with papery bracts surrounding feathery tufts of white to pinkish flowers.
Many Australian natives flowers are solid, bright and dominant so I positioned some of the Brushing Bride in the centre to be a focal strength with a few scattered around. I love the Brushing Brides' texture and softness, it can combine perfectly with any type of flowers. It is however only around in Spring.
