Peach's and dusty reds go perfectly hand-in-hand with a modern boho wedding. Coupled with lots of foliage, these flowers are guaranteed to stand out in photos. The bouquets can easily be slimmed down and placed into mason jars for centrepieces to add some cohesion to your disorganised order.

The combination of Dahlia's and wild grasses in this bouquet combines the outdoors with the modern wedding. The secondary florals pull it all together and allow the bouquet to exude that bohemian feel.
