Donate Your Wedding Flowers to Share Joy With Those in Need

Donate Your Wedding Flowers to Share Joy With Those in Need

Exciting news! We now offer our brides the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by donating wedding flowers to great causes.

We’ve hate to see beautiful flowers being thrown away, and many brides tell us they feel the same way. When we have a chance to drop off arrangements. at nearby hospitals or nursing homes, we always wish we could do it more often. Lately, we’ve been thinking a lot about giving back. And, like everyone else, we’ve been talking about sustainability. Planning a green wedding means putting thought into how to reduce waste.

Enter Repeat Roses, a new company that collects and repurposes wedding reception arrangements to be delivered to those in need. Your beautiful wedding flowers can bring smiles and joy to places like hospices and community shelters. Repeat Roses takes care of all the logistics.

Upcoming Flower Classes

by admin

We’re so excited about tomorrow’s flower class, Autumn Floral Wreaths. This is a first for us; we specialize exclusively in wedding flowers, so our usual work rarely includes wreaths and holiday floral decor. But as you can imagine, we love to create seasonal wreaths like this for our own homes and for holiday entertaining.

If you can’t make it this time, join us next month for Holiday Table Garlands, another floral-design class for the holidays. Check out all our Flower Classes and follow us on Instgram and Facebook for class photos, videos and tips.

Welcoming Beata to our Team!

by Elianna Phelps

Meet Beata Jozefow, our new Assistant Wedding Coordinator. Beata was born and raised in Bialystok, Poland, surrounded by silk flowers.

“It’s funny how being raised around silk-flower decorations, created by my parents, led me to working with real ones!” Beata says.

Right after high school, she followed her dream and moved to the United States. After starting out as a cocktail waitress in a small restaurant, she gained experience in all aspects of the hospitality business, working private and corporate events at high-end venues all over New York City.

Beata has focused on weddings since 2013, when she earned her certification as a wedding and event planning consultant and completed an internship with the David Tutera Wedding Experience Expo.

Branches & Blooms: Flower Class at Bride & Blossom

by admin

For our latest floral-design workshop, Branches & Blooms, we filled the showroom with vibrant fall flowers and invited the class to get creative with color, shape and texture. We had such a warm, enthusiastic and talented group. We’ve been telling everyone our classes are NYC’s best girls’ night out, but it turns out, they also make a great date night. We were delighted to see more than one gentleman in the showroom this time!

Expert floral stylist, Dawn, charmed the class as she demonstrated technique and shared insider tricks. Here’s one tip that kept coming up: don’t overthink it! (The wine helps with that.) Relax, follow your instincts and experiment. Working with flowers is about using your senses. Get a feel for the way each stem feels in your hand. Notice which colors draw you in, and don’t forget to stop and breathe in the fragrance.

Aisle Style: Floral Arches in Twirl New York’s New Fall Issue

by admin

Two of our most romantic ceremony designs appear in Twirl New York’s new issue.

For an enchanting, Brooklyn waterfront wedding, an arch of wisteria and curly willow (#3) held decadent clusters of pink, cream and white flowers. Ruskus vines, entwined with dendrobium orchids trailed down the arch’s side to a moss base. Kris Rae’s beautiful photo captures the garden-like, natural concept of our design, as well as a moment of pure joy and love.

A rustic-branch chuppah (#5), adorned with the lushest, white hydrangea blossoms, framed a traditional Jewish ceremony at a decadent, Hudson-Valley wedding, photographed by Ryan Brenizer. Aisle Style is a must-see if you’re looking for wedding inspiration – so many gorgeous, creative ideas for walking down the isle of your dreams.
