Warm Reception at The Nomad Hotel

A sunlit ceremony in Jefferson Market Garden, a historic outdoor venue in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, and a luxe reception at The Nomad Hotel, added up to a wedding as sweet as it was chic.

Warm, romantic wedding flowers matched the day’s mood. We created bouquets, centerpieces and high floral arrangements in a palette of blush, ivory, light pink and white. At the bride’s request, we took extra care selecting blush blossoms for her bridal bouquet; she envisioned carrying flowers the color of ballet slippers. And for elegant, feminine bridal hair, we created a bridal hair pin with blush and ivory spray rose blooms, accented by a hint of seeded eucalyptus.

A Wedding at The Picnic House in Prospect Park

by Rachel Trimarco

The Picnic House in Prospect Park is one of Brooklyn’s most beloved wedding venues. The park’s natural beauty provides wonderful views and a lovely setting for wedding photos, any season of the year. The Picnic House was certainly the perfect place for the vintage-bohemian wedding flowers we created for one beautiful Brooklyn bride.

Mini succulents played a starring role in the bridal bouquet. The fresh green of the succulents and viburnum played perfectly against pink lisianthus and white garden roses and spray roses. Another mini succulent became a striking groom’s boutonniere. Ranunculus, in two shades of pink, gave bridesmaids’ bouquets a look of their own.

Wedding at The Plaza Hotel: Behind the Scenes

by Elianna Phelps

The Plaza Hotel is a classic New York City wedding venue, located right on Central Park, in the center of Manhattan. What a perfect place to create a bride’s dream of romantic, elegant wedding flowers!

If you follow us on Instagram, and watched all week as our studio filled up with over 10,000 amnesia, quicksand, mondial and vendela roses, now you know what we were doing with all those beautiful blossoms!

We loved creating dramatic high table centerpieces, bouquets and other floral decor with the roses’ sophisticated color palette of blush, cream, taupe and mauve. For the traditional ceremony chuppah, altar and sweetheart table, we incorporated lush white hydrangea and white phalaenopsis and dendrobium orchids.

Wedding at The Liberty Warehouse: Part 2

by Rachel Trimarco

The Liberty Warehouse is one of our favorite Brooklyn wedding venues and, as you enjoy photos of this gorgeous wedding, you’ll see why that’s true. Sweeping waterfront city views, wide-open indoor and outdoor space and antique, industrial charm make this a truly special place.

Last week, we shared details of the romantic floral arch we created for this ceremony. The same lush garden theme was carried through all the florals.

For an organic, cascading bridal bouquet in classic white and cream, we used standard roses, garden roses and spray roses, dendrobium orchids, lisianthus and stephanotis.

Bridesmaids’ bouquets were composed of blush and cream roses with white freesia. Table centerpieces were classic and romantic, in the same delicate, feminine color palette of blush, white, cream and pale green. Low centerpieces featured exquisite phalaenopsis orchids. We added drama to the high centerpieces with cascading dendrobium orchids and amaranthus.

Manhattan Wedding in the Snow

by Elianna Phelps

New York City is so romantic in the snow! One of our designers captured this perfect winter-wedding moment outside Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan this weekend. The photo took our breath away. Our bride in her fur shrug, the visible adoration and joy, and lush wedding flowers aglow in the snow… So much to love!

For a peak behind the scenes as we created floral decor for the reception, take a look at our Facebook album or follow us on Instagram @brideandblossom.

Blush Bouquets Under the Brooklyn Bridge

by Rachel Trimarco

New York City brides, get ready to be inspired! We loved bringing this bride’s vision of classic, feminine wedding flowers to life in a color palette of blush, cream and white. A reception venue right on the Brooklyn waterfront in Williamsburg gave the celebration (and the photos!) a stunning skyline-view backdrop.

To create rounded, compact bouquets, we used petal-dense roses, garden roses and ranunculus. The sweet flower girl carried a pomander ball of carnations. Lush, tall centerpieces set the mood at Giando on the Water. Loosely arranged white hydrangea and ranunculus, blush stock and garden roses and cream roses were loosely arranged in trumpet vases. Cascading burgundy amaranthus and candles in crystal added over the top romance.
