“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.

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.

Luxe, jewel-toned peacock feathers make a bold statement in wedding decor and bridal accessories. A magnificent wonder of nature, the feathers’ popularity spiked during the opulent Art Deco era, and have long symbolized renewal and eternal life in Eastern cultures. It seems only appropriate to include such fine plumage in weddings. After all, this bird’s audacious mating rituals rival our own poshest ceremonies and celebrations.
Above, we layered peacock feathers to wrap a bouquet of deep purple blossoms, including hydrangea and call lilies in burgundy tones. Below, more striking ideas from around the wedding-sphere. To get all the details, visit our Pinterest board, Feathers in Wedding Decor and re-pin away!

There is something so satisfying about a shop that does one thing, and does it really well. If you are a florist, a stylist, or a DIY- inclined bride-to-be, you need to know about the Centerpiece Box store.
Simple, well-constructed, wooden boxes are a great base for creative arrangements of flowers, candles, moss and greenery. Available in unfinished or reclaimed wood, boxes can be custom painted and engraved with table numbers, quotes, wedding names and dates, or decorative patterns. The reclaimed-wood option is perfect for rustic barn and beach weddings. Once you know where to get good basics, let your imagination (and your Pinterest boards) take the lead.
The Knot just did a wonderful feature on Enchanted Atelier by Liv Hart’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection of bridal accessories. We chose a few of our favorite shots and paired them with some of our recent wedding flower creations.
We get inspired watching the ways brides use similar elements to reflect their own style. The bride who chose a bouquet of classic calla lilies, wrapped in ribbon and adorned by vintage-look brooches, might choose a similar hair accessory to continue the theme. The gleaming butterfly headpiece strikes a pretty but understated note that contrasts with the whimsical mood cultivated by the playful bride who brought us silk butterflies to add to her bouquet and centerpieces.
