Autumn Floral Wreaths Class by Bride & Blossom

by

Hello Bride and Blossom Readers!

As you may or may not know, we offer floral classes monthly! In the classes, besides enjoying some delicious wine and cheese, we invite one of our floral designers to come in and teach our students on several different techniques we use in the studio for our Bride & Blossom weddings! Floral design is super simple once you have the right supplies and clear steps. And it’s extremely relaxing and cathartic. Whether you’ve got a gorgeous garden and green thumb or you are a total novice, our classes are designed to teach you basic design principles that you can use again and again for making arrangements for your home, office or to give as gifts!

The Most Romantic Works of Art to See in New York City

by

Fall in New York City is one of the most romantic times of the year. The season’s warm, golden light casts a mood that is best enjoyed with someone special. Simply put, it’s a wonderful time to be in love!

The idea of love has fascinated artists through the ages. Our greatest creative minds such as Shakespeare, Rembrandt, and Picasso sought inspiration in love, using the emotion to make works of art so beautiful and passionate, they stand the test of time, resonating in the universal heart of mankind.

We can’t think of a better way to keep the amorous vibe flowing than spending a weekend afternoon strolling the corridors of a museum hand-in-hand. And lucky for us, New York City’s museums are home to some of the most romantic artworks ever created!

Apple Cranberry Moscow Mule
For a fall take on the Moscow mule, add the seasonal flavors of cranberry and apple. The spiciness of the ginger pairs deliciously with the fruit. You’ll need vodka, cranberry juice, sparkling apple juice, ginger beer, and cranberries for garnish. The color is so pretty, we suggest trading the traditional copper mug for a glass. Get the full recipe at Heather Christo.
