Pinks, Pinks and More Pinks

-
 Let's face it, pink is back for wedding designs and it's back in a big way. This past weekend we created a "very pink" wedding for our bride Kelly and with amazing results too! Unable to get her the peony she loved (just between seasons - too late for local and Dutch, too early for Chile) we still achieved that soft, round feel she loves by using a mixture of ranuculus, garden roses, tea roses and hydrangeas in shades from pale to raspberry pink.
 Kelly's bouquet was lush, full and hand tied. Don't you just love those huge garden roses? They have become so popular that during prime wedding season there's not enough being grown to meet the worldwide demand for them!
 For Kelly's brides maids we created hand tied bouquets using tea roses, spray roses, ranuculus and hydrangea, accented with pops of lime green buplurium.  Can you ever really go wrong with using roses in wedding designs? We love pink at Monday Morning Flowers - as you an see from employee Melissa's uniform off to the right!
 Heaven on Earth was the setting at Molly Pitcher Inn on Friday. After a record breaking July here in New Jersey, Kelly really got lucky with the weather and the setting was perfect.  A soft breeze off the bay in Red Bank made for comfortable temperatures.
It's nothing but blue skies for this wedding. The lovely floral displays were not only perfect for the ceremony but were later brought inside to decorate the reception. We love pieces like these that can transform the space into a lush, wedding location and money well spent, wouldn't you say? A quick transfer inside and those dollars are really worth the expense by providing 4 more hours of enjoyment for the guests!
 Garden roses, hydrangea and graceful curly willow set against the blue water and white fences really speak to the natural elegance of the setting.
 A simple but sweet display for the sweetheart table. Just enough to frame the bride and groom, but not block them from view.
These centerpiece measured a full 16" high and 16" wide. Created in silver mercury glass footed compotes surrounded with 12 mercury glass votive candles, they must have looks amazing when the lights were low.

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 b...

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 .
