Designing Bouquets That Reflect the Bride

Make it stand out

Every bouquet we create begins the same way: not with flowers, but with her — the bride.

Before color palettes and flower selections, before ribbons and textures, before form and flourish, we begin with presence. Who is she? What is her story? What does she carry with her — in spirit, in style, in soul?

At Two Baroque Girls, a bridal bouquet is never just a beautiful object. It’s a portrait — a fleeting, fragrant rendering of a woman on the cusp of something new. And like all great portraits, it’s meant to capture something beyond the surface.

A Mirror of the Moment

Your wedding day is one of the most intimate and transformative moments of your life. The bouquet — carried close to the heart — becomes both companion and emblem. It should feel like you. It should move like you. It should hold the energy of the day, but also reflect something timeless.

We design every bouquet with intention. Not from templates. Not from trends. But from you.

Are you drawn to softness and subtlety? Do you crave bold contrast or wild movement? Are you classic, modern, romantic, unexpected? We listen. We observe. And then we begin to build.

Building a Story in Stems

Each flower is chosen with care — not just for its beauty, but for its meaning and presence. We might include the ranunculus you wore in your hair on your first date. The rosemary from your grandmother’s garden. A single hellebore because it feels like quiet strength.

We think about gesture: the way your bouquet rests in your hands, the way it moves with your steps. We build with rhythm and emotion, allowing the flowers to speak — curved, cascading, composed. No two bouquets are ever the same, because no two brides are ever the same.

A Collaboration of Trust and Art

Designing a custom bouquet is a conversation. You bring your hopes, your stories, your vision. We bring our experience, our eye, our instincts. Together, we create something that’s both deeply personal and artistically refined.

Our goal is never just to impress. It’s to express — to make something that feels like you, in flowers.

A Keepsake of a Moment That Flew

Bouquets are fleeting — and that is part of their beauty. You carry it for only a few hours, but you remember it forever. It lives in your photos. In your memory. In the way a certain flower will always bring you back to that day.

That is the power of a floral portrait.
Not just to adorn, but to embody.

When Two Baroque Girls Go Rococo

Two Baroque Girls Go Rococo

A Floral Affair in Pastel Whimsy

If Baroque is an opera — deep, dramatic, and sweeping — then Rococo is the garden party that follows. It’s the flutter of a silk fan, the glint of gold on porcelain, the soft rustle of skirts across a sunlit salon. And though our hearts will always beat Baroque, we at Two Baroque Girls are happily seduced, more often than not, by the coquettish charms of Rococo.

This blog is our love letter to the style that spun out of grandeur and into grace — a celebration of the Rococo spirit, and how it perfumes our floral work with lightness, humor, and a wink of the extravagant.

The Rise of Rococo: A Prelude in Powder and Pearl

Rococo emerged in early 18th-century France, born in the mirrored halls and manicured gardens of Versailles. As the reign of Louis XV bloomed, so too did a new aesthetic: one that moved away from the solemnity of Baroque toward something more playful and light.

The name itself — derived from rocaille, meaning shell or rock ornamentation — hints at its character: natural, decorative, and delightfully unnecessary. Rococo was the art of elegance without effort. It favored asymmetry over balance, suggestion over sermon, pleasure over pomp.

Artists like Boucher and Fragonard painted scenes of leisure and flirtation, all powdered cheeks and secret gardens. Gilded frames curled like vines. Architecture lifted into whimsical curves. Everything shimmered with softness. Rococo was not careless; it was carefree.

A Palette from the Pastel Pantheon

To step into the Rococo palette is to enter a dream.

Absent is the brooding chiaroscuro of the Baroque. In its place: powdered pinks, duck egg blues, minty greens, buttery yellows, lavender greys. These were the colors of macarons and moonlight, of porcelain figurines and sugared almonds.

Gold still appears, but now it twirls around mirror frames and flirts with candlelight, rather than anchoring altars. White becomes creamy, lush, and full of air.

This is the palette we reach for when we want to whisper, not shout — to create floral moments that glow with gentleness.

And for weddings, there is perhaps no style more fitting. Rococo lends itself beautifully to romance — with its softness, charm, and sparkle — crafting a world where every bouquet feels like a sonnet, and every tablescape, a love letter.

Come Join Us

Whether you're dreaming of Versailles in the desert or simply seeking something soft and sublime, we invite you to explore the Rococo with us. Because in a world that often feels too fast and too sharp, there’s power in pausing for the delicate, the decorative, and the deliciously divine.

Why We Love Tablescapes

Because the Table Should Be as Beautiful as the Gathering

There is something deeply intimate about a well-set table. It’s not just a place to eat — it’s a stage for connection, conversation, and celebration. At Two Baroque Girls, we believe that the table is one of the most powerful storytelling spaces in any event — and we love bringing it to life with flowers, texture, and a touch of the unexpected.

Tablescapes are where our floral design becomes immersive. Here, we don’t just place flowers — we build environments. A tablescape invites the eye to wander, the hand to linger, the heart to open. It’s about atmosphere. It’s about feeling.

More Than Centerpieces

A floral centerpiece can be lovely on its own — but a tablescape transforms the entire experience. It’s the difference between decoration and design. Between a table that’s nice, and a table that sings.

We layer in movement and texture: wild vines trailing across linen, delicate blooms nestled beside tapered candles, unexpected fruits or sculptural objects tucked between plates. The details whisper to each other. Everything feels intentional, yet effortless. Lush, but never heavy.

Each tablescape is tailored to the mood of the moment. Romantic and windswept for a desert elopement. Moody and candlelit for a winter gathering. Lush and garden like for a summer fête under the stars. Always seasonal. Always personal.

A Living Canvas

Designing a tablescape is like painting with petals, cloth, and light. We consider proportion and placement. We play with rhythm — high and low, soft and structured. We think about how guests will see and feel the table: the way the light hits a blossom, the scent of herbs as hands reach for bread, the flicker of a flame reflected in a water glass.

Every element has a role — not just to look beautiful, but to create an experience.

A Sense of Welcome

At its core, a tablescape is about hospitality. It says: You are wanted here. You are cherished. This moment matters.

That’s why we love them. Because the best tables are not just styled — they are felt.

And we believe in beauty that can be felt.

What Is Baroque? And How We Bring Its Beauty to Life in Flowers

When people hear “Baroque,” they often think of something ornate — gilded frames, grand cathedrals, opulent details. And while that’s part of the story, the Baroque is so much more than ornament. It’s emotion. It’s movement. It’s contrast, drama, stillness, and light — all in conversation.

At Two Baroque Girls, the Baroque is not just a historical reference. It’s a lens. A way of seeing the world — rich with layers, full of feeling, and expression.

In the 17th century, Baroque artists painted light in golden sweeps, carved stone into gestures that nearly breathed, composed music that could stir the soul. Their work wasn’t meant to sit quietly — it was meant to move you. We carry that same spirit into our floral design.

A Baroque Approach to Flowers

We don’t follow trends. Instead, we listen — to the client, to the setting, to the mood we want to evoke — and we build from there. Baroque design is rooted in storytelling, and so are we.

You’ll see it in the way we compose our arrangements — with depth, tension, and flow. We love a wild curve, a sudden shadow, an unexpected bloom tucked among the more familiar. A floral arrangement should have a beginning, a middle, and a crescendo — like a painting, like a piece of music. It should invite the eye to wander and the heart to linger.

Baroque design is sensual in how it delights the senses — texture against texture, silk petals beside papery ones, the scent of jasmine rising just behind a rose. It’s in the contrast. The movement. The emotion.

Flowers as Living Art

Our studio practice is deeply influenced by the arts — painting, sculpture, architecture, music. The Baroque reminds us that beauty is not always minimal. Sometimes beauty is bold. Sometimes it’s layered. Sometimes it spills a little over the edge.

We let each stem speak, giving room for character and gesture. The bent neck of a tulip, the spiraled edge of a peony, the wild reach of a vine — these are not imperfections. They are personality. They are presence.

A Sense of the Sublime

At its heart, the Baroque was a celebration of life in all its fullness — its highs and lows, its stillness and motion, its light and shadow. That’s what we aim to capture in flowers. Not just prettiness, but presence. Not just symmetry, but soul.

That’s what we offer. That’s what we love

Introducing Two Baroque Girls

Where Flowers Are Designed With Meaning, Beauty, and Intention

Baroque isn’t just a style. It’s how we see the world — rich, layered, and full of life.

At Two Baroque Girls, we create floral designs that go beyond decoration. Each arrangement is carefully composed to tell a story, stir emotion, and bring beauty into focus. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, our studio is dedicated to custom, high-end floral work that feels personal, artful, and entirely one of a kind.

No two designs are ever alike. We take the time to get to know our clients — their vision, their style, and what matters most to them. From there, we build something just for them: an arrangement that feels like it belongs in their world, yet offers a sense of wonder and surprise.

Our work is inspired by the Baroque — a period where art was dramatic, emotional, and alive with movement. We bring those same qualities to our floral design. Expect lush compositions, unexpected textures, layered color palettes, and a sense of rhythm in every detail.

Whether we’re creating a bouquet for an intimate wedding or a large-scale installation for a grand celebration, we approach each project with care, intention, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature.

We choose blooms for their form, texture, and seasonality — many locally sourced, always selected with thought. Sustainability is part of our process, as is a deep respect for craftsmanship and authenticity.

At Two Baroque Girls, flowers are more than pretty things. They’re a language — one we’ve spent years learning to speak fluently and with heart.

We’re honored to share our work with you, and we look forward to bringing your vision to life.
