As mentioned in a recent post, I'm a big fan of UK florist Paula Pryke, so I wanted to share more of her unique wedding flowers. We often find inspiration for the Pacific Weddings® floral photo shoots within her fabulous books, most recently, Simply Pink. Whether you are planning nuptials in a tropical location like Hawaii or heading to California's Wine Country, here are a few beautiful designs in keeping with a destination wedding.

We are always on the look out for interesting chair decorations, and white-on-white is one of my personal favorites. (Upper left) White hydrangea is ideal for this classic modern chair; ivy and spray roses or a bouquet of daises suit a Wine Country wedding; a lei of dendrobium orchids (lower right) is a popular choice for a Hawaii wedding.

Tropical wedding flowers can be stunning when designed to show off their drama and striking colors. Paula uses variations in texture and height to achieve this look. I love the woven Dracena leaves of the centerpiece on the right–her details are simply exquisite.

One vase three ways: Paula is known for her creative use of unexpected containers and vases. Here she lines a rectangular glass vase with colorful sand, lemons and jelly beans. I like the idea of presenting  wedding centerpieces as generous hostess gifts at the end of the evening. Wouldn't these be perfect?
