Holiday Party at the Chase

As promised, pictures of the flowers for the holiday party and fundraiser for St. Vincent's Children's Home. As with the previous holiday party, this client also chose not to use traditional holiday colors. We did short arrangements of white tulips, purple stock, blue hydrangea and filler with winter greens for the small guest tables. The taller arrangements for the food stations included silver birch, green fuji mums, purple iris, blue delphinium and filler. We thought these colors looked great in the Starlight Room and still had a winter-y feel.

Tulips and Looped Grass

This fun piece was for a grand opening. We filled a large cylinder vase with willow branches and orange tulips and attached some tulips up in the branches. We tied grass loops all throughout for a very contemporary feel. This arrangement had a presence made a statement!!

Third Degree Glass Factory

This colorful reception at the Third Degree Glass Factory was this past spring. Teals and oranges were used to celebrate the bride's Indian heritage.

The flowers were a bright mix of oranges including roses, gerber daisies and tulips. The centerpieces alternated high and low vases for some table variety.

This shot by Gail Fleming shows the whole room after it was set with linens and lighting. The room was splashed with color.

Blue and Yellow

Elise and Ben were married this past May. Blue and yellow were their wedding colors, so we designed a flower style around that. Take a look at these beautiful shots taken by Cary Klein.

Elise carried a bouquet of blue hydrangea with yellow tulips and freesia. It was a very garden-y look with a vintage feel.

The girls carried yellow gerber daisies and blue delphinium to continue the garden-y look.

The aisle was lined with the bride's blue hydrangea.

The men wore yellow freesia, with the groom in yellow and blue.

We wish Elise and Ben all the best!

Winder Wedding Bouquet

For all you brides out there who are looking ahead to your winter weddings, here are two winter flowers that are available to you in your season and together in no other season. This bouquet has amaryllis and tulips- two very elegant and winter-y flowers that we LOVE together. Take a look........

Emily was our bride from this past January. She wanted a very simple, elegant look for her flowers. We suggested these two types of blooms to also give her flowers a seasonal feel without being too overdone.



The amaryllis have a very large bloom and come in white, red, or burgundy. They are available from approximately November through mid-March. Mixed with the tulips or standing alone, they are an awesome flower that most people don't think to use in their wedding, which makes them unique!

Bright and Eye Catching!

These flowers are vibrant! Karen and Marc's wedding was in early May and the flowers hinted at the upcoming summer season! All photos courtesy of Browers Photography.

We used pink tulips and spray roses, orange roses, green orchids and berries, and looped grass for the bridal bouquet. The bridesmaids carried the same flowers minus the orchids in a smaller size.

What fun pictures for a fun couple! Our best wishes!!

Green and White for Spring

The following are some snapshots of a recent wedding that we just helped out with. The flowers were a vibrant green and white mix that really stood out against the girls' dresses. Take a look!

The bouquets were green hydrangea and berries with white tulips and freesia. Very fresh and springy!!

Best wishes to the bride and groom!!

Classic Black and White at the MAC

This wedding was last fall at the MAC and used black and white in a classic and beautiful way.

Black was used as an accent, seen in the chair covers, favors, menu cards, and the glassware for the centerpieces. All the flowers at the reception were whites and ivories.

Half of the tables had these tall vases with a ball of white lilies, roses, tulips, and filler.

To contrast. the other half had these black bubble bowls filled with tulips, hydrangea, ranunculus, filler, etc.

These rented candelabras accented both ends of the head table and were decorated with all white, trailing flower pieces.

The end product of the classic black and white in this room was gorgeous and just what the bride and groom envisioned!

Awesome Amaryllis

Even though it might not seem obvious, winter is a great time for seasonal flowers! Here are some snapshots that we took of some amaryllis bouquets we did in late December and early January. Amaryllis is such a gorgeous flower and is only available in the winter months. Take a look:

This bridal bouquet is all bright red roses and amaryllis.

The bridesmaids' bouquets contrasted the bride's red flowers. They carried white amaryllis and ivory roses.

This bridal bouquets is already one of Shelly's favorites for 2009!! The white amaryllis are mixed with white tulips for a very wintery look!!

The bridesmaids carried an all white amaryllis bouquet.

For a special detail, the maid of honor carried all white tulips.

It just goes to show that the winter brides have great seasonal choices, too!!

Summer Centerpieces

Here is a "collection" of some of the centerpieces and other flower decor that we've done this spring and summer.

Bright reds and pinks made these roses and freesia pop against the white table linens.

These hurricane candles with a lush flower wreaths were perfect for a summer garden-themed wedding.

Small jars of Esperance roses and bells of Ireland were a great cimpliment to the pink washed walls at the Mad Art Gallery.

Tall trumpet vases with large white calla lilies brought height and drama to the Lindell Pavilion. (Photo by Gail Fleming)
