2013 Wedding Trends

Many of the news stations and media outlets are still buzzing about the Oscars, what designers the stars wore, and Michelle Obama’s guest appearance. We starting thinking of how this will influence the wedding trends this year. Glitz and glamour with a hint of playfulness comes to mind! We really liked some of these designs.

Pretty in White

Here’s a sample we just did for a March bride. She choose all white flowers with a round, compact shape in a black cube vase for a classic look. We added a mirror underneath to illuminate the arrangement and give it a dash of elegance once candles are added.

The True Story of Valentine’s Day…

Did you know that Valentine’s Day dates back to the time of the Roman Empire during the reign of Claudius II, 270 A.D. Claudius didn’t want men to marry during wartime because he believed single men made better soldiers. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret wedding ceremonies. For this, Valentine was jailed and then executed by order of the Emperor on Feb. 14. While in jail, he wrote a love note to the jailor’s daughter, signing it, “From your Valentine.” Sound familiar?

Check out some of our favorite Valentine’s Day arrangements.

A Remembrance of Spring

We just got these beautiful photos back from a wedding we did in May. The bride chose a romantic combination of blush pinks and white. Her primary flowers were Peonies which we accented with Stock and Roses. So many brides love Peonies since they are such a soft, romantic bloom. If you are lucky enough to be getting married in May there’s no better choice!
