Another Busy Weekend at the Flower Shop

-
First off, a super big thank you to all my staff who did an amazing job this Weekend arranging and setting up 4 weddings and multiple other events. Fall is certainly on it's way and this weekends events were a combination of late summer tones and early fall ones with shades of pinks and peaches once again. 
Anna's a bouquet was a natural blend of country style blooms such as a Queen Anne's lace, berries, gumphria, millet and eucalyptus along with elegant blooms such as ranunculus, tea roses, bouvardia, dahlias and freesia. I especially love the burlap ribbon treatment on the stems. Her bouquet smelled and looked amazing in person!  
Moving on to Heidi's bridal bouquet - hot raspberry pinks, greens and white in the form of roses, orchids, mini callas and ranuculus along with accents of rhinestone spray for a touch of bling.  
Moving on to Taotao's bridal bouquet in all shades of peach from light into dark using roses and mini callas.  
Moving on back to Anna's centerpieces at the Chauncey Conference Center - natural and free flowing, these centerpieces were a full size that was lush and lovely. Each was made a ceramic vase provided by the bride and styled a little bit at random for a more casual feel.  
Moving back to bright and pink Heidi, our tri candle holders were filled with clear and hot pink gems and a pink underwater light.  
Heidi and Sharif chose a more simple color combination for their Grand Arch outside in the Westin's Princeton courtyard. Decorated with fresh vines and ivy and accented with white hydrangea blooms.  
Ok, enough with the weddings, this Sunday party was so much fun and was a Bridal Shower! This event had us coming up with floral designs to fit the pale pink color and fashion theme for the bride. Little busts were provided by the family and gave the centerpieces something fun to view while sitting at the table. Lush and grand domes of all pale hydrangea added an elegant touch to this event at Stone House in Sterling, NJ.  
There you have, some fun events we provided this past weekend. Getting married or planning an event this fall? We'd love to work with you so why not give us a call at 609.520.2005 today! 

Location: 111 Main Street, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA

How to Make a Flower Puppy

It's amazing what you can do with 12 carnations and a little bit of creativity. Our Floral Designer Rocio loves making puppy arrangements so here she shares her tips with you! Here's what you will need ~ 12 full size carnations, floral glue, floral tape, a floral container, 1/3 of a block of floral foam and some assorted greenery.  First take your wet floral foam and tape it securely into your floral container.  Slowly start adding the 12 carnations starting with the top to form the head, the ears, the face and the 2 front legs.   Keep going, adding carnations but only using 12 total!  Now he has his 2 front legs, sitting over the edge of the container.  Using the floral glue, add the eyes and the nose. Be creative here. We use eyes and noses for the floral industry but you can use felt, screws or even a pip cleaner to form these facial features.   Next, start filling in with assorted greenery and mosses. This will become his little bed!  Be sure to f

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. They are made in a variety of sizes and styles, for example, standard, cascading, traditional, and double wide. Each of these styles has a specific design and flower capacity . I chucked when I read that because we make all of our Grave Blankets custom for each customer and no two ever look exactly the same. The folks who order them from us are looking for something lush and beautiful with many holiday and winter accents like this one that has golden lotus pods, ilex winter berry, glittered pine cones, red velvet rib
