“We absolutely adore how Leslie & Mark’s hip Brooklyn wedding embodies urban chic in each & every detail of the marvelous day.”
We are thrilled one of our weddings is featured on Borrowed & Blue. From a ceremony at the church where the groom’s great-grandparents got married, to a Brooklyn chic reception in Red Hook, this wedding was a true NYC charmer.
Leslie chose a classic, feminine color palette of white, blush and light pink for her wedding flowers. She knew she wanted her bridal bouquet to have a rounded but natural look, so we created a hand-tied bouquet with white roses, blush garden roses, white lisianthus and blush ranunculus.

We absolutely adore this floral-framed seating chart, created by
Paula Rooney Weddings & Events, and discovered via Strictly Weddings.
Paula’s lush, opulent work has been featured in many international magazines and is known for the romantic, woodland feel this frame conveys with beautiful blooms including standard, spray and garden roses, ranunculus and hydrangea.
Follow Paula on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram & Twitter, for lots more gorgeous inspiration.
We were so inspired by the way Helen Guzman, of Bonito Designs, displayed roses like precious jewels at a recent shoot. It’s easy to imagine more ways to use these glass terrariums and boxes by West Elm. They would make exquisite table card holders. Or, fill one with a few berries, a citrus fruit or a sprigs of herbs, to display next to the description of a signature wedding cocktail. At home, use one on a bedside or coffee table, to display wedding keepsakes like the ribbon and pearls that adorned your bouquet, your groom’s bow tie, or the jeweled comb you wore in your hair.

We recently spent the day in Brooklyn, working with a talented team, on a styled shoot. Helen Guzman, of Bonito Designs, displayed perfect blush roses and delicate sprays of baby’s breath in beautiful glass boxes and a French country glass canister. We used a simple, wooden box to create a centerpiece of Dahlias and wildflowers.
All these boxes reminded us to always think outside of the box; to look for inspiration everywhere and consider how objects around us can be used in creative wedding flower designs. Remember this next time you plan a dinner party or holiday at home. Look around and experiment by using your own home decor items– small mirrors or frames, china tea cups, carafes, canisters– in unique floral centerpieces.

Every season, at least a couple of designers send black wedding dresses down the runway. Women have embraced the LBD for almost a century, so it makes sense that some want to get married in their go-to, formal-occasion color. Picture yourself in something more traditional? A touch of black brings sophistication, elegance and even drama. Above, one of our brides makes a statement in a gorgeous black fur shrug. Below, a bouquet we created with green cymbidium orchids and eggplant calla lilies (sometimes referred to as “black” calla lilies). Here are our picks, for brides who feel inspired to practice the dark arts.
