Beachy Bride-to-be!

We gave my cousin's bridal shower a nautical theme because she is quite the seashore gal and is getting married in Monmouth Beach in December.  All white and green flowers were used including hydrangea,  roses, and queen ann's lace.  This displayed arrangement was sprinkled with ribbon and toule to add a veil-like effect.  The table centerpieces were arranged in glasses with blue starfish and seahorses and surrounded by seashells and beige fish net.

It was a perfectly beachy day, and we're all looking so forward to her wedding!

Autumn Showers!

A sample from Lauren's bridal shower!

And the 'maids...

Another sample of the flowers for Bria's wedding.  The b'maids' bouquets contained maren dahlias, tulips, and gerber daisies.  I went for a monochromatic using only a few blooms to keep a simpler, more streamlined look for the girls.  The blossoms were wrapped in white and orange gingham ribbon. Lovely!

Getting married in the Autumn

Bria's Bouquet!

Today I had the pleasure of arranging for a pretty and preppy bride-to-be.  Bria wanted popping orange flowers to compliment her ladies' chocolate dresses and her Tiffany "something blue" heels.

Miss Cindy provided all of the fabulous dahlias, and gerbers, tulips, zinnias, hypericum berries, and crocosmia surrounded the beautiful blooms.

Check out my Facebook album to see more photos of the event, including some of the bridemaids' bouquets and a modern twist on the corsage.

Congratulations to Bria and Matt!  And joy and love to you both : )

Hello, Dahlia!

Bria's beautiful wedding is this weekend!  Did a little shopping for the principal bloom today in Sellersville: dahlias!  Cindy and Dana grow some of the most incredible dahlias I've seen, and I was fortunate enough to get a few bunches for my bride.

More photos to come during the arranging process : )

Happy Anniversary!

Flowers have thankfully become a staple for weddings and are similarly popular to celebrate wedding anniversaries. In celebration of September 18, 2009, the blessed union of Rachel and Rich, I wanted to display a few favorite arrangements I created for their wedding.

Happy Anniversary, Loves!!

The roses of Reno

Another fabulous vacation where I was surrounded by spectacular blooms was a venture to Reno, Nevada. My boyfriend's Mom cultivates the most incredible flowers, these are just a few of the variety of roses she raises. They love the Nevada climate, and as you can see, thrive in the warm, typically dry, land. They don't call it the "Great Basin" for nothing!
