The Baby's Breath Trend

8/9/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Over the past year or so, baby's breath has really become a staple element in our floral designs and this summer has been no exception. This weekend, we're creating floral elements for a wedding at Chauncey Hotel and Conference Center using lots and lots of baby's breath including these for the bride maids. The stems are wrapped in a burlap ribbon for a rustic feel but not as rustic as twine. The bridal bouquet will be styled in vibrantly colored flowers but keeping to the simple, vintage theme, the centerpieces will be simple baby's breath in a mason jar. 

Looking forward to 2015 weddings, I can't say for sure if the baby's breath trend will continue, although quite a few of our weddings for September and October will also be using this affordable but romantic flower. Stay tuned to our website to see future floral creations!

Cranberry Wedding at the Cranbury Inn

We love doing themed wedding, especially a Christmas one. Last weekend had us decorating the ceremony and reception area of the Cranbury Inn for a bride Danielle and Groom Jason. There might not have been snow on the ground but the setting was warm and festive. My favorite parts of the wedding was the place card table which was created using three very large vases filled with winter ilex berries, water and a floating candle. So dramatic! The aisle was decorated with tall vases filled with water, floating cranberries and our hanging Juliette candle holders. So pretty! After the ceremony when the room was quickly changed over, these vases were then placed along the edge of the room to add a touch of warmth and a pop of color. The centerpieces were created with fresh cranberries, red roses, red berries, winter greens and fresh holy. A small but dramatic touch to the tables. Such  elegant but simple wedding decor for the perfect Christmas Themed Wedding.

Sunflowers and Roses for Fall

 What a fun time of year to have a wedding and we love the drama of these bouquets created for this weekends wedding. We don't often do lots of weddings in November and this year we have quite a few this year. 


This bouquet was being designed for Jessica's brides maids. Ring of Fire sunflowers, Black Bacara roses along with brown hypericum berries make a striking combination, wouldn't you agree? 


What I love most about this combination is the different shading and textures that each flower provides. Also, the striking yellow really pops against the dark burgundy roses. Be sure to check out our Fall Category of this website for more photos from this fall themed wedding!

Bridal Trends - Cascading Orchids 

8/24/2013

As soon as you become involved in the wedding business, one of the first things you notice are flower trends as they come and go. Like fashion, what's in and what's not does seem to change with the seasons and the years. 


For example, this year, anything vintage, shabby chic, sophisticated rustic and  southern style country have been very much in style. The flip side of that trend seems to be elegant and classic. Take these centerpieces for our Bride Melissa at the Stone House last weekend. Over sized pilsner vases were filled with river stones for a natural touch but then the vases were filled with cascading phalaenopsis orchids. Although the color them of the wedding was purple in all other areas, this couple went for a clean, uncluttered look by switching the table flowers to all white. Dramatic but elegant was the general feel of the room once all the flowers were in place. 


These amazing orchids appear to be an emerging trend among our couples, with quite a few weddings in recent weeks including them. Now that I'm actively booking weddings for 2014, it appears that this trend will continue. Although more expensive than other centerpiece options, they cascading orchids tend to cost less then their dome shaped, above eye level cousins using hydrangeas, roses, etc. which really is a plus for those seeking elegantly over sized without the high price tag. to see these and more of wedding designs, be sure to check out our Centerpiece category on this website.

DIY and Working With Your Florist

I love when bride's do a bit of DIY. Yes, you heard it right, I love when my bride's do a little themselves. Especially like what today's bride Crystal did. She let us handle the fresh flower part, while she and her maids set up some floating candles and votive candles on their own. I especially loved the little boards she found to anchor the centerpieces and the table numbers. She was able to personalize her wedding while not having to worry about processing flowers and worrying about the weather (today hit 95 degrees). She left that up to us and at a very modest cost, I might add. Again, vintage ~ country is very in and these adorable tablescapes were perfect for this tent wedding at Chauncey Hotel and Conference Center here in Princeton.  Would you consider doing a bit DIY while your florist handles the floral aspect of your table centerpieces?

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?

Blooms for Spring for Lambertville Wedding

4/26/2013

I know I've posted wedding photos of very rustic, vintage bouquets but that sure does seem to the be the trend this Spring. 


Today's wedding bouquet for bride Alaina has some of our favorite Spring elements such as feverfew, buplerium, lilacs, thistle and accents of succulent plants. The stems were wrapped with a thick twine to keep with the natural theme of the bouquet. We had hoped to include mountain mint and fresh lavender but the unusually cold Spring has made those flowers a little late to bloom but the overall look and feel is sure to meet with her approval. Do you like Alaina's Spring Time Bouquet?

Keeping it Real and Rustic

Do you have a love of Whisky? What about wine? Ever notice those super cool bottles that your favorite "drink" comes in? Why not work them into your wedding centerpieces like our Bride Sharon did with her table arrangements this past fall. 


Taking her mixture of bottles along with boxes, tins and other fun rustic containers, we created natural and fun centerpieces for her Stone House wedding reception. What we loved about this particular wedding was the fact that she has a love of anything funky and natural. These table centerpieces used typical flowers such as garden roses and dahlias but then we really went "wild' with elements such as echeveria plants, scabiosa pods, craspedia and herbal elements such as rosemary and then added interesting foliage's such as sword fern and seeded eucalyptus. Most tables had more than one element like this one that had a brass tin, a whiskey bottle and a moss nested succulent plant. 

In case you were wondering about the other floral elements, the bouquet pictured below was what the brides maid's carried - mini bouquets of all baby's breath wrapped in twine. The bridal bouquet was also all white with a combination of baby's breath, ranunuculus, hydrangeas and garden roses. Simple and clean was the order of the day for the bouquets but by the time guests made it to the reception, the funky ~ natural centerpiece took center stage for this Sunday afternoon wedding.
