The Baby's Breath Trend

8/9/2014

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!

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 Outdoor Wedding

Last week, we were lucky enough to help decorate a fun outdoor wedding for our bride Amber. Taking place in the side and back yard of her parents home, a large farm in Hopewell, NJ - the weather was perfect and the setting was lush and inviting.

A vintage, country themed wedding with lots of personality, the day began with a driveway lined with simple daisy filled mason jars hung from hooks lining the driveway. The guests were then escorted to the romantic ceremony setting, placed under a tree dripping with yellow and white lanterns. Our newest arbor was the perfect accent to frame the bride and groom as they took their vows.

After the ceremony guests were treated to cocktails in the back yard before heading to the tent for a dinner reception. The long guest tables were filled with vintage bottles in different sizes, each with simple yellow flower. Floating candles in mason jars, votive candles and a wine bottle table number all helped to set the casual theme of the wedding. Guests were invited into the 4 car garage that was set up as the dance pavillion. Decorated with funny yard signs, antique furniture filled with family photos, fresh flowers, cocktail tables and even flip flops for tired feet.

A simple color theme of yellow and white looked amazing set against the simple white tent, the yellow and white striped linens and the lush green of the acres and acres of trees and grass. A grand time was had by all - and we were honored to help out!
