Color Of The Year 2014

 It's that time of year again, Pantone has released their 2014 color of the year... Radiant Orchid!

 This year's color is pretty exciting to me; not just because it's named after a flower, but because there are so many flower possibilities with this shade. Here's some that come to mind...

Dahlia

Freesia

Phalaenopsis Orchids

 Not only are there several flowers that come in Radiant Orchid, but so many other colors compliment it as well. I can't wait to experiment and have fun with this one!

Things to consider before meeting your wedding florist.

 I was thinking today of the things that make a smooth consult for wedding floral design. I really feel preparation is key and good communication between bride and florist is HUGE! I know it's sometimes hard to take that picture in your head of what you want and expect of your flowers and convey it to your friendly florist. Well, there's an infographic for that!

Shaina and Nathan

  When Shaina and Nathan came to pick up their wedding flowers, Shaina stopped dead in her tracks when she saw her wedding bouquet. "I'm obsessed!" she said. Well, I am too! I love how different and unique her concept was for her bouquets. We used garden twine and lace around the handles of all of the bouquets for a natural, whimsical look. I loved going back and forth with Shaina coming up with her one of a kind bouquets! Congratulations to the bride and groom! All pictures were taken by the talented George Day at Metro Style Studios.

Sharon and Jerry

 

  Sharon and Jerry married at the beautiful and picturesque Trout Brook Vineyard. It's hard to believe this wedding didn't take place in Napa Valley! Stargazer lilies held special significance to Sharon, so we implimented them in nearly every piece for her wedding day. Together with the gorgeous bicolor coral and orange roses it created a colorful yet easy and natural look. I'm so happy for the bride and groom! It was a beautiful day.

All photos were taken by the groom's daughter, Jill Hotujec with Jill Hotujec Photography www.jillhotujecphotography.com. The lighting in her photos are stunning!

 

 

  

 

Jess and Bruce

 Words cannot say how much I enjoyed working with the bride, Jess on her Alice in Wonderland themed wedding. Jess brought me a large number of inspiration photos for the bouquets, in each picture was a little detail that had caught her eye. We fused all of those little details together to create a truly unique and custom wedding bouquets! The entire event was stunning, the ceremony location at the beautiful "fairy tale" gardens at Trellis Wedding and Events and the reception location at the architecturally stunning 413 on Wacouta. I'm going to miss going over details with Jess! I'm so excited for Jess and Bruce (and their loveable rottweiler, Monroe) as they start the next chapter in their lives!

The bride's very customized bouquet consisted of white roses, white spray roses and a large silk focal flower with pearl and filigree. The lace flower was created using a piece of Jess's dress leftover from alterations and filigree and pearl accents. Loops of white double satin ribbon framed the bouquet with long ribbon tails cascading down. The ends of the stems were adorned with pearls to match the accents of pearls throughout the bouquet. The final touch was winding a swallow necklace around the handle, in memory of a beloved best friend of the bride.

The bridesmaids each carried a brightly colored bouquet of orange gerbera daisies, hot pink rose sprays, hot pink "beauty" asters, deep purple miniature carnations, blue mountain thistle and green hypericum berries with a unique mix of foliage and black and white striped bows. The bouquets were wrapped with black and white striped ribbon and pearl pins held everything in place.
