The most important accessory to any bouquet is, of course, beautiful ribbon. There are so many resources available, but I have my favorites – our motto at Perennial Studio is ” Life is too short to buy cheap ribbon” . Here are a few of my favorites -and – if you can’t order it directly from the source, you can always order it through me. I love the ribbons from “Bellocchio” in San Francisco – Claudia Schwartz is a magnificent world class shopper for fabulous ribbon and accessories (www.bellocchio.com ) – I highly suggest a visit to her wonderful shoppe filled with treasures from France and many parts of Europe – it just screams quality! Another wonderful option is Renaissance Ribbons (www. renaissanceribbons.com) for artistic, colorful, and unusual flora and fauna patterns. Of course, Midori ribbon always has the most luxurious double faced satin in a rainbow of colors – so wonderful to feel your hands around when walking down the aisle (www.midoriribbon.com). Finally, for old- school velvets, vintage jacquards, and crisp taffetas, you can’t beat Hyman Hendler (www.hymanhendler.com)
