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

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.

Flower Class Was a Blast!

by

 

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

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.
