Ever since Mandy Moore’s wedding last year, we’ve been obsessed with the pampas grass wedding trend. Soft, natural, and available in colors ranging from white to whispery pink, it can be worked in to just about every decor element. For her private backyard ceremony, Mandy Moore used pampas grass to capture a feminine boho vibe. But it can be used to express a variety of wedding styles ranging from whimsical to sophisticated. Thinking of incorporating pampas grass in to your big day celebrations? We’ve got you covered!

Wedding Backdrop

Pampas grass brings luxurious volume and texture to the wedding backdrop, creating a scene guests will be talking about long after the vows are exchanged. Go wild with a rich and sprawling aisle and archway in a neutral palette. A circular arch of soft pink and beige stems combined with lush greenery and blossoms radiates heavenly romance. White pampas grass, blooms, and greenery arranged on a geometric backdrop is the perfect marriage of bohemian and modern styles.

Sophisticated, bold, with a touch of whimsy, dahlias are one of those unique flowers that works well with just about any wedding style. Admired for their large blooms, intricate petals, and beautiful colors, they are a wonderful feature flower to incorporate in bouquets, centerpieces, and arrangements. There are many types of dahlias – 42 species in all and each different from the next. Our brides especially love using café au lait, cactus, and pompon dahlias to celebrate their big day.

This vendor is worth every penny. Rachel and her team were amazing from the minute we requested a consultation online. She called us back right away, and on a Sunday. Going through the consultation process with Rachel and her team is what I believe brides envision meeting with a vendor is like, but sadly vendor meetings often fall short – B&B was professional, prompt, warm, high tech, and the meeting occurred in a forum where design concepts could be articulated, reviewed and revised real time. I believe this set up helped to ensure that Rachel and I were on the same page regarding our vision for our flowers. I left feeling confident she (unlike other florists my husband and i had met with) really got it. Our flower concept was fairly elaborate (think chandeliers of 400 flowers hanging over every table) and I left feeling not only like she understood what we wanted to do throughout our venue, but she was ready and willing to execute on our vision, not hers. And execute B&B did! The decor and florals were absolutely jaw dropping. Everything integrated perfectly – you really couldn’t tell where the venue stopped and our concept started – and everything went off on time, on budget, and without a hitch. I have no idea how the day-of team, headed by Eliana, worked through everything – I’m still in awe – but they absolutely crushed it! Everything was just stunning. Following are some of the words and phrases our guests (both male and female alike) used to describe the decor: “beautiful”, “stunning”, “fantasy”, “oh sh!t, those are flowers???!”, “i can’t believe we’re here”, “that flower wall is unreal”, “this is sick!”, “magical”, “Oh My God”…but really, words fall short at describing what Bride & Blossom pulled off. As the bride, I could’ve stayed in our venue for hours – it was exactly what my husband and I imagined. The photos our guests took are amazing and we simply cannot wait to see the pics that the pros got! We’re so grateful to this amazing team!!!

So excited to write this review – we are a gay couple, and felt a bit apprehensive upfront about using them,  given their ‘BRIDE’ and Blossom name, but they were insanely thoughtful at our initial meetings – made it FUN, we left super excited. Lindsay was our point-person, and I have to say she was super patient with us, and actually helped us seriously develop our ideas — this separated B&B from other florists we met. They took our scatter-brained ideas and transformed them into something  incredibly beautiful. She worked tirelessly, sending us reminder emails and was always a friend in the process.

They designed an 8×8 ft flower wall to frame a custom Mandap, and an intricate string-art-flower showpiece that was actually a piece of art. I’ve never seen something so beautiful and unique and PERFECT before. The 15 centerpieces and head-table arrangements were gorgeous – again, far-exceeding our expectations. To future brides/grooms: Are they the cheapest? definitely not, but don’t be turned off — they will absolutely produce the most amazing flowerscape at your wedding. You won’t be disappointed. Worth every last dollar. In short, SUPER HIGHLY recommend. Work with Lindsay and Rachel — I honestly think some of the best spent $$ at the wedding.

Bride & Blossom is absolutely fabulous! In planning my early spring nuptials at the St. Regis New York recently, Rachel Trimarco and her well-versed staff helped cultivate and bring my wedding vision to life, a chic, sophisticated design sensibility, which, coupled with her passionate work outlook, lends itself, if one is so inclined like myself, to a planning process that is highly interactive, collaborative, and even fun. Trimarco has a chic, sophisticated design sensibility, which, coupled with her passionate work outlook, lends itself, if one is so inclined like myself, to a planning process that is highly interactive, collaborative, and even fun. It was like having a team of extra friends with whom to consult, each of whom worked tirelessly with me to accommodate my various financial, logistical and aesthetic considerations. It was truly a wonderful experience reaping the fruit of these efforts, from the big reveal on the day itself, which felt even more impressive and exciting than I could have imagined, to receiving such overwhelmingly positive (and continuing) feedback from guests and post-event viewers. I highly recommend Bride & Blossom for your next special event.
