Bouquet Recipe: Airy with a Pop of Vibrant Coral

by admin

Planning your wedding and looking for wedding flower inspiration? When you’re figuring out what types of flowers you’d like your floral designer to use, sometimes it all starts with your bridal bouquet. Bouquets should capture the season, mood and theme of your celebration. You’ll carry these flowers close to your heart as you walk down the aisle – what could be more special? There are as many bridal bouquet styles as there are brides – let your bouquet reflect your spirit and flatter your natural beauty.

You’ve been letting us know how much you like our bouquet recipes on social media, and we love making them, so here’s our latest. Yesterday we showed off the white floral chandelier and lush floral runner we created for Renee’s wedding on Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan. Her bridal bouquet, like all her wedding flowers, started with white, peach and blush flowers. We chose some of our summer favorites -peonies and garden roses – then added white veronica, silvery dusty miller, and deep green ruskus, all arranged in an airy, natural style to show off mixed textures. Our favorite part of this bouquet? A vibrant pop of coral peony.

Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers

Are you as obsessed with floral chandeliers as we are? Hanging florals have taken over everyone’s Pinterest boards and we believe this wedding trend is here to stay. Luxurious hanging florals uplevel the entire look of a wedding. We were thrilled when bride Renee told us she was dreaming of a gorgeous, showstopping floral chandelier, for her wedding on Chelsea Piers’ Sunset Terrace in Manhattan.

Renee decided on an overall wedding-color palette of white, cream, blush and peach. We selected white and cream flowers with lush greens for the floral chandelier. A natural look, with lots of mixed texture, felt right for this summer wedding overlooking the Hudson River.

Mood Board: Candlelit Florals for Cocktail Hour

by admin

Let this mood board inspire you next time you set your table to entertain. Flowers in candlelight truly create a sense of magic and romance that makes any evening more beautiful and memorable. We love to create groupings of small floral arrangements in glass vases of varying heights. Setting the vases and candle holders on a glass or mirrored surface adds extra glimmer. Small mirrored disks or highly polished metal trays are the way to get this effect at home.

Wedding cocktail hours should feel warm and romantic. Old friends catch up as new flirtations start up! Guests experiences a moment of shared emotion before celebration and dancing. One bride-to-be asked us to create a glowing space for her guests to enjoy cocktail hour, with candles and flowers on every surface. Instead of the classic red roses in the inspiration image, we presented her with a softer, summer color palette. Big, voluptuous coral peonies, palest blush ranunculus, peach Juliet garden roses and peach parrot tulips, with their unusual, ruffled petals, will all look stunning, set aglow in candle light.

Fridays in our studio are a whirlwind of activity, especially when we’re deep in wedding season! Buckets and vases of roses, hydrangea, garden roses, craspedia and lisianthus line every surface and fill the studio with their summer fragrance. Our design team checks and prepares every blossom, then meticulously assembles bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony florals for a weekend full of beautiful weddings.

There’s nothing better than working hard at what we love, surrounded by a team who puts so much care into every detail. When it comes to weddings, every petal and leaf, every pearl and every ribbon matter.

If spending time surrounded by flowers and fellow flower enthusiasts looks like heaven to you, come join the fun! Sign up for a flower class. You will be amazed at how much you learn in just a few hours. Our August class sold out fast. Next up, Contemporary Centerpieces on September 9th. We’d love to see you there!

Sweet Spring Wedding at the Harvard Club of New York

by Elianna Phelps

Kristy and Dave’s wedding brought lighthearted joy to the storied halls of the Harvard Club of New York. Opened in 1894, and on of the city’s first buildings to be officially designated a landmark, this is one of Manhattan’s most exclusive wedding venues.

For this spring wedding, beautiful bride Kristy wanted stylish, elegant wedding flowers that would be at home against the club’s traditional mahogany paneling, while also expressing the freshness of the season. A soft blush, cream and white color palette, featuring cherry blossoms, hit all the right notes.

We created a romantic, multi-dimensional bridal bouquet with budded and bloomed garden roses, blush anemones with black centers, and lisianthus. Bridesmaids carried simple, loosely-rounded bouquets of blush ranunculus and garden roses, accented with lisianthus.
