The gypsophila debate: love it or hate it?
When ex-TOWIE star Mark Wright married Corrie actress Michelle Keegan, the glam pair commissioned Interflora florists to decor the day using 16 different varieties including, you guessed it, gyp taking a lead role in everything from 12ft flower trees to corsages made with pearl bracelets. Michelle carried a hydrangea, lisianthus and gyp bouquet complete with diamanté and pearl pins, while hydrangeas were laced with diamanté encrusted monogram letters. You can recreate the look entirely with all the extras offered at Corsage Creations.
Gyp is particularly popular used on its own en mass; suddenly turning from forecourt filler to floral chic, and it makes a great budget-friendly alternative to Lily of the Valley which has been highly sought-after following the Duchess of Cambridge’s decision to have it for her big day. Wrap your just-gyp bouquets in a complimentary pattern with our cotton lace ribbon.
Gyp flower crowns are particularly popular, especially since Pippa Middleton opted to dress her flower girls in them. Creating gypsophila headwear becomes so much easier if you base your mechanics onto one of our many headband, hair comb or tiara accessories.
Most recently, top fashion designer Rodarte surprised fans by adorning models in swathes of gyp as they strutted the catwalk; from oversized gypsophila crowns to long shawls made of the stuff. Channel Rodarte with Baby’s Breath buttonholes; an easy way to create a co-ordinated look. If you’re tired of the traditional sprigs with wire and tape or twine, check out our large range of unique buttonhole options or try our corsage magnets for a natural and easy approach.
In June 2017 Victoria Swarovski, a member of the famous Swarovski family, married in an extravagant ceremony in Italy wearing a princess-style gown and cathedral-length veil, coated head-to-toe in Swarovski crystals, clutching a bouquet of gypsophila and walking an aisle lined with trees of gyp. Gyp also made appearances at the weddings of Pippa Middleton, Geri Halliwell and Jessica Ennis, to name just a few.
Why not share photos of Ms Swarovski’s weddingwith your clients and suggest they follow suit by adding interest to the simple stem by incorporating accessories like our pearl sprays and loops, diamante branches, pearl and diamante pins and amazing wraps (pictured above); all perfectly complementing the cream hues and cloud-like sprinkles of gypsophila white.
We also offer a whole range of faux Baby's Breath in all sorts of colours.
