Sisters Wedding Show Booth

Emily, Shelly and Chelsea had a great time at the Busch Stadium Wedding Show this past Sunday. Here are some snapshots of our booth. As always, our brilliant in-house photographer, Chelsea, took these great shots!



We took three bouquets inspired by our colorful design boards. We also set up our Crystal Moss Tree to show off a different "enchanted" look for our rental trees.





We did a variety of colors and textures for our show bouquets. We were even able to include some spring and summer flowers like tulips, peonies, and iris!


This version of our crystal trees included hanging moss balls, hanging Spanish moss, and a lush moss base with green orchids. It was moss-some! (Look for more detailed shots in a blog coming soon!)






Shelly and Chelsea are ready to talk to some brides!!






It was a great show with tip-top vendors. We had a lot of fun and even let our hair down a little in the photo booth provided by Photobooth STL. Take a look!

Ceremony and Reception at Soulard Preservation Hall

Here is a unique way to use flowers for a ceremony and reception all in one location. Our clients for this event double-used ceremony and guest table flowers to decorate their space. The room was used for the ceremony and then turned over for the reception.







Cube vases filled with white hydrangea lined the stage for the ceremony. Afterwards, they were used for all the guest table decorations.







Julep cups with white hydrangea decorated the chairs at the ceremony and were later used to decorate the reception as well.





Our tall metal trees were set up on the stage to frame the bride and groom for the ceremony. They were left up for the reception and provided decoration in the room.
This was an excellent example of how flowers can be utilized fully at an event. It just takes planning and design work to make it happen seamlessly!

Texture with dahlias and hydrangea

This September wedding of Kelley and Justin took place at St. Agatha's in Soulard and Lemp Mansion. These flowers are great examples of how texture can really bring added interest to bouquets. Notice how the different shapes and sizes of flowers really bring your eye in to see everything in the bouquets. Thanks to Lace for these beautifully detailed photos.






The bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets incorporated dark purples, blues, red, and greens for a very rich color palate.





Open roses, hydrangea, sedum, berries and dahlias all played a part in the lushness of Kelley's bouquet. Each flower added a unique element to the whole.





Simply gorgeous!






White cymbidiums were also worn as hair flowers.











The guys wore red spray roses with a little purple accent to match the girls.







The wedding party at St. Agatha's.





The cake was decorated with a few dark red dahlias on the top.











The centerpieces were so unique! Five tea tins were decorated by the bride with printed paper for each table. Sisters filled each tin with a cluster of wedding flowers in wedding colors. Each table was different and interesting.






Special thanks to Christy at All Dressed in White for coordinating an awesome event!
All our best to Kelley and Justin!! It was a pleasure working with you!

Orchids and Callas to brighten up winter!

These are the bouquets from a wedding we did last winter. Even though the season should have meant cold, frigid temps, the bride and groom's January wedding day was a gorgeous one! Lots of sunshine and no need for coats! The tropical bouquets of dendrobium orchids and calla lilies really fit right in!







The bridal bouquet was a sleek arrangement of purple mini callas and lily grass loops.














The bridemaids carried linear bouquets of large white callas and purple dendrobium orchids, accented by looped and straight lily grass.







Bright and beautiful flowers for a bright and beautiful couple!!

Before & After (via D*S)

This Before & After was far too beautiful not to share, for those of you who don't follow {Design*Sponge} and haven't already seen it. It probably helped just a little that they used my favorite color green :)

LoBoheme ~ Vintage Inspired Hair Accessories

These elegant vintage inspired hair accessories are becoming more and more popular and I love them more each time I see them! Here is a collection from {LoBoheme}, a small design team in San Diego (wife, husband, and dog), Lauren (Lo), Josh, and Tank Christensen. Lo is the designer and takes care of the creative end of Lo Boheme, with the inspiration and technological savvy coming from her sweets, Josh and Tank. I guess it runs in the family, because her mom is also creative! She makes custom ties for weddings, as well as custom made vintage handkerchief ring bearer pillows sold at her Etsy.com shop {Tux & Tulle}.
