Simple Sunflowers

I'm always sharing tips on how to allow your florist to create fantastic floral design on a budget so I could not resist talking about one of last weekends weddings.

Bride Jennifer came to us fairly last minute for her Friday night wedding being held at the Boathouse in Mercer County Community Park. Not wanting to break the bank yet follow her rustic, casual theme and include her favorite flowers - sunflowers - I suggested these centerpieces for her guest tables. A large 8" wide bubble vase is filled lushly with lemon leaves, white and yellow asters and touches of babies breath. Two types of sunflowers - both large local and medium sized "lemon yellow" from South America, really filled the table and set the tone for this fun but classic wedding. Touches of curly willow loops along with black river stones in the bottom, helped to distract the eye from the stems of the flowers. Priced at $55 per table, they really fill the space in the center of the table without costing a fortune. What do you think of these centerpieces?

Blue Orchids

I could not let any more time pass without sharing this amazing wedding from last weekend. Marisa and her new hubby exchanged vows on the rooftop patio at the Palace in Somerset. The sun was shining and the humidity was low and the blue orchids looked fabulous, wouldn't you agree?

The bride carried a cascade bouquet of roses and stephanotis, while her maids carried simple hand tied bouquets of baby's breath. The crystal trees gracing the guest tables were complimented with blue dyed orchids and so to tie the whole look together, the ceremony began with a combination of baby's breath and dyed orchid blooms. A "less than common" combination, we think they really worked well together. Our silver arch tied in with the silver crystals trees used later in the reception and the gold chair really let the white ribbon and baby's breath show while the blue orchids took center stage. Who says you can blend the exotic with the common? Not us!

Emem and Her Bridal Bouquet

I'm always amazed by how fast our brides can show us photos of their wedding. Take our lovely bride Emem who was married last weekend. Don't you just love how amazing she looks with her bouquet? Garden roses, mini callas lilies, hydrangeas, peony and touches of fresh ivy loops made for the perfect creamy pink bridal bouquet for an outdoor late June wedding.

Emem and Jim were married at Paradise Vineyards, a picturesque setting in Chesterfield NJ. Among the vines is a sprawling mansion that looks like it belongs in the mountains of Tuscan more so than New Jersey.

After a long walk down the rose petal lined aisle, Jim and Emem exchanged their vows and then ventured back up for cocktails and a sit down meal. After seeing all the photos from their day, I fee like I attended this amazing wedding.
