Rose Quartz and Serenity: Pantone’s Twin Colors of the Year for 2016

Pantone just announced two Colors of the Year for 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity. This is the first time more than one color has earned the title. The soft pink and blue pastel shades are already triggering social media one-liners about painting nurseries, but we agree with the overwhelming public opinion: Rose Quartz and Serenity are lovely and of course, right on trend.

If you’ve been following us for a while, you already know how much we love to work with flowers in pale pinks from the barest hint of blush, to baby pink, to cotton candy. We adore the trend toward soft, sweet color schemes, and can’t wait to see how other wedding vendors, and our brides-to-be, get inspired.

Bouquet Recipe: Jewel-Toned Beauty

by Elianna Phelps

Our bride envisioned a stunning, vibrant wedding bouquet, for her fall ceremony at Manhattan’s Ritz-Carlton Battery Park. Jewel tones have a special place in our hearts for fall and winter weddings.

We composed this lush, compact bridal bouquet with red garden roses, Freedom roses and deep-red Bacarra roses, combined with dark purple stock and magenta cymbidium orchids with burgundy centers. Stems were tied with an ivory satin ribbon, with ends exposed, for a fresh touch.

A Softer Side of Fall

by admin

With fall in full swing, it seems that everyone is embracing Apple picking, pumpkin lattes (pumpkin everything for that matter), sweater capes and of course fall colors. One major fall component that seems to be lacking this year is the traditional fall weddings.

Our fall brides have always been eager to embrace the fall season by incorporating the rich fall colors, seasonal blooms and sneaking some mini pumpkins in there somewhere. However, this year, were truly seeing a shift, in that brides seems to be reaching for the softer side of fall.

So what does this mean? It’s less of the rich fall colors like shades of red, orange, amber, browns and hints of yellow and more of the creams, blush, greens and a pop of burgundy for good measure.

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.
