The Bridal Bouquet

Ragan gave her florist (a friend of her family's) free reign for the decor -- as long as the bulk of the flowers were pink. I was a little pickier about my bouquet, which ended up being various shades of pink roses dotted with pearled stephanotis, she says. Instead of doing the traditional toss, the bride gave her bouquet to one of her oldest friends who traveled from Boston for the festivities. I made a little toast about how much she meant to me and handed over the flowers, says Ragan.
