A Bachelorette Bash at Bride & Blossom

Bride-to-be Sarah and her best girlfriends celebrated her upcoming wedding by learning about floral design at the Bride and Blossom studio. The girls created vibrant arrangements with stunning shades of pink roses, peonies, tulips, and accents of lush greenery.

 

The class was guided by our Wedding Coordinator, Lauren Fernandez.  “Teaching and floral design are my two passions, so it was an absolute pleasure teaching the girls how to create an arrangement,” she says, “They did an amazing job! I loved how each arrangement was unique even though all the girls had the same flowers and vase. That’s my favorite part of floral design!

Incorporating Herbs Into Your Wedding Ceremony

Herbs have held sacred meaning at weddings as far back as Ancient Greece, when Athenian brides wove mint and marigold into their hair as an aphrodisiac, and carried sprigs of wheat and marjoram to symbolize fertility.  In the Victorian era, lovers exchanged coded bouquets, deciphered through floral dictionaries that contained the symbolic meaning of just about any herb and flower imaginable.

For the modern bride, herbs can add a poignant touch of ancient wisdom to the ceremony – herbs also hold up well and dry beautifully as a lifelong keepsake.

Here are five simple ways you can incorporate herbs into your celebration:

For some reason fuchsia always looks amazing paired with black and white, so her vibrant centerpieces really looked gorgeous when the whole look came together,” explains Creative Director Lindsay Saltz.

It’s a Nice Day for a White Wedding

Nothing exuberates an elegant and timeless vibe like an all-white wedding. While all colors are gorgeous, there is something so dreamy and ethereal about a white wedding – it can simply take your breath away.

Brides in general are sometimes nervous to go all-white everything, because they fear it won’t be interesting enough and can’t transform the space like color could. We say – nothing creates a more stunning and romantic atmosphere like all white, and in the world of weddings, many of the royal weddings, celebrity weddings and most of the six-figure budget weddings you see in the magazines were, well – all white.
