Sneak Peek!

Check out this sneak peek from our October 2nd wedding! The ceremony and reception took place at the Ca d'Zan Mansion in Sarasota, FL. The floral decor consisted of roses, orchids, hypericum berries, and pin cushion protea in shades of tangerine, burnt orange, and terracotta. We can't wait to see the professional pictures from this one!

Color Palette Play

We are loving this color palette of copper, silver, and gold tones! Using flowers in creams, whites,ivories, and touches of champagne along with a sea of candlelight would help create a wonderfully elegant look for a Winter wedding.

Modern Wedding Etiquette Feature!

Check out Modern Wedding Etiquette for our very own Ian Prosser's post on modern wedding fashion. Where he writes, "Nowadays so many different factors come into play when discussing the "look" of your wedding. At Botanica, it’s not JUST about the flowers – we like to be involved or at least included in all visual aspects of a wedding. At the end of the day, as your team of vendors, it’s our job to work together to create a flawless event not only logistically, but visually as well."

Autumn Anticipation

Fall is right around the corner and we cannot wait to see some beautiful wedding hues announcing it's arrival. We love all the rich colors and intriguing textures fall brings to floral decor. Brides that marry later in the year get to take advantage color combination's that are not appropriate any other time. Some of our favorite seasonal flowers are dahlias, crabapple branches, zinnias, callicarpa berries, and liquid amber. Here are some pictures of fall colored bouquets to get you excited!

Wedding Sneak Peek!

Here is a peek from our July 17th wedding! The bridesmaids carried a colorful mixture of orchids, roses, dahlias, hydrangea, and sweet pea. For the reception decor, Ian suggested the addition of sugar cane into the centerpieces to incorporate an element that is special to the Bride's family as they are in the sugar cane industry. In addition, we used lilies, orchids, birds of paradise, and tropical foliage to help round out this beautifully unique design. Enjoy!
