Before Mandy Moore’s first on-screen wedding she told hunky Landon Carter, “You have to promise you won’t fall in love with me.” **Cue tears.** Of course, we ALL fell in love with Mandy. And here we are 17 years later, having become completely smitten with her real-life nuptials! From Mandy’s pink dress to the aisle lined with vintage rugs, the day totally blew us away. But it was the ceremony arch by the oh-so-talented Of the Flowers that we simply cannot get over!!
Which brings us to today’s topic: the reasons we’re falling head over heels for gypsophila…otherwise known as baby’s breath! What was simply a filler flower back in the day has now taken its rightful place center stage. Baby’s breath is a resilient, affordable bloom that is simple enough on its own but takes on an entirely new ethereal, cloud-like quality when arranged together. And Mandy’s pink ceremony arch is just the beginning! Here are 10 unique + fresh ways to use babies breath in your wedding or event!

Baby’s breath is such an overlooked floral arrangement choice–the dainty white blossoms are perfect for complementing a bouquet and even are gorgeous as table decorations or alongside the aisle.
