Wedding Season: Behind the Scenes

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.

An Abundance of Roses: Dream Wedding at The Plaza Hotel

by Rachel Trimarco

“Jason and I grew up a few blocks from one another in New York. We always knew of one another, but never met,” bride Marianna told us. “One day, ten years ago, I was walking home during a horrible snow storm. Jason and a mutual friend stopped their car to offer me a ride. Being the girl that I am, I said no way!”

But fate kept trying to bring this couple together. “Six years went by before we met again at a party,” said Marianna. “As soon as he walked in, he saw me and our eyes locked. Ever since that moment, we have been inseparable. On December 30, 2013, Jason popped the question in Hawaii.”

Flower Class Was a Blast!

by Elianna Phelps

Our first flower class was amazing! Thank you to everyone who signed up. We loved meeting you all, and you blew us away with your talent and enthusiasm.

At the flower market, we chose lush white blooms and greens, for fresh, seasonal arrangements in a natural style. Consider buying several types of flowers, all in the same color, when you’re new to floral design. The tight palette means you can focus on getting a shape you like. Plus, it looks very chic. Guided by our floral stylists, everyone in class worked on their own creation to take home. We shared simple tips on how to choose and prepare blossoms, plus the kind of inside tricks that make all the difference!

Wearable Tech Engagement Ring Records Memories

by admin

Jewelry has always served as a memory keeper. Now, diamond engagement rings can literally hold wedding memories like vows, photos and web links. Momento Diamond rings by Galatea will be introduced this fall. Luxury wearable wedding tech has truly arrived.

“Think of 50 years from now, and it has your proposal and your wedding vows and your baby being born and your baby saying, ‘I love you.’ It will be so valuable in 50 years, when you actually hand it over, and you can say, ‘Everything is in here.’ It’s like a locket but interactive,” said Galatea founder Chi Huynh said in JCK magazine.
