Nassau Inn Photo Shoot!

-
We had the honor last week of providing flowers for the Nassau Inn photo shoot. The Nassau Inn is located in the heart of the downtown Princeton shopping district. If you've never been there, it truly is a treat!

It's always challenging to design arrangements that not only show off the location (which is the whole idea of the photo shoot to begin with) but also not be overly seasonal. Right now we are in the throws of fall flowers but folks viewing these pictures could be doing so in Spring, Summer or even in the dead of Winter. Our color theme for the shoot were rich reds, pinks and purples. Purple has been a hot wedding color for the later part of 2010 and appears to be going strong right into 2011. Red and pink are always classic so put the three together and WOW!! Drama!! Look at this lovely shot of the Palmer Room. One of my personal favorites at the Inn because it's elegant but cozy. This room also has lovely daytime light but when the sun goes down, the glow comes up.
Our bride and groom make merry for the camera. The brides bouquet was a mixture of pinks, purples and reds using roses, hydrangea and orchids accented with lily grass loops.
All photos were taken by Kyo Morishima Photography and to read their blog you can visit them at http://kyomorishima.wordpress.com/. Look for the photos in the near future at http://www.nassauinn.com/! If you are looking for a lovely location for your wedding or other event, might you consider this lovely, historic Inn? I hope you do, as it's one of our favorite locations to decorate!! To see more of our wedding designs visit our wedding website at http://www.perfectweddingflowers.com/

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone. Here in the north east is customary to have a lovely "blanket" made from ever greens and winter accents to be placed on the grave of a loved one.  It's just a nice remembrance during the holiday season to make the graveside look a bit more decorated and festive.  According to Ask.com   "A  Grave blankets are a type of flower design that is used to decorate graves.
