Calling all fall brides! A topaz bouquet is meant for you. Topaz can be a yellow or orange-y color. Therefore, it’s not a super popular gem. That is, until autumn rolls around! The vibrant orange/yellow is complimented by red, maroon, and purple to create the perfect fall bouquet.
This bouquet by Buehler’s is made up of mums, symbolizing joy, zinnia, symbolizing lasting affection, black-eyed Susan, celosia, and Queen Anne’s lace. Pair that with the topaz coloring, symbolizing love and affection for a sentimental bouquet!
Diamond – Buehler’s

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! While a diamond-inspired bouquet should have some bling, it can’t detract from the wedding ring. That’s what makes this subtle yet elegant bouquet by Buehler’s so perfect! Orchids represent love, beauty, and strength while ranunculus stand for charm and attractiveness. Dahlias symbolize dignity and elegance – all things a bride wants to embody on her wedding day!
One reason diamonds are so popular for engagement rings is because they represent true and everlasting love. It’s also a very hard and strong substance, making it difficult to break – like the bonds of marriage!
