A November Wedding for Brides Andrea and Suzan

-
 What a difference a week makes. Last week it snowed and this week, although chilly, the sun was out. Today we created and delivered 2 weddings, one for Suzan and David and the other for Andrea and Kyle.  Above is the hand tied bouquet we created for Andrea. What lovely color, don't you think? What I loved about what she chose is that her bouquet not only contained a very cool mix of flowers which included Heart garden roses but also purple carnations, yellow mini calla lilies, Tango pincushion protea accented with chocolate cosmos and foliage's. From there we jumped to each of the 3 brides maids who carried a single type of flower but all different ones.
This bouquet is all obviously all roses but what a rose it is. You've heard me talk about my love for Circus roses and this time is no exception. Don't they look like a fiery sunset all bundled into one small package?

The second brides maid carried a bouquet of all yellow mini calla lilies accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage and ruscus. How sweet and simple.

The third brides maid carried all Tango pincusion protea. Tips of reds, oranges and golden yellows, they were a wonderful compliment to the bouquets created above. I sincerely hope that Andrea sends us photos of her and her maids. Imagine how they must have look in the outdoor setting of the Centre Bridge Inn in New Hope. The perfect day for a fall wedding!
Next we move on to Suzan's wedding. Above are the amazing bouquets we created for her brides maids. Deep purple lisianthus, Charlie Brown cymbidium orchids, lavender roses and purple mini callas. Accents of lime green freshen up the whole color palate and must have really popped against the brides maids gowns.
Below is the bouquet we created for the bride and we just loved the combination of purple carnations, brown orchids, Vendella and Quicksand roses with a pop of buplurium. What a lovely early fall wedding bouquet, don't you think?

My dear hubby and business partner was kind enough to report back from both bridal drop offs that each bride appeared to be delighted. With a little luck I'll be getting that thank you notes very soon!!

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!

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
