White vs Bright

Every now and then we will have a consultation with bride who is very interested in using a bright and colorful bouquet instead of the traditional white or ivory tones. Even though we always do whatever makes our clients most happy, we like to give them a small piece of bouquet advice. Naturally, the human eye is drawn to bright colors. Using color can distract the guests away from the great details that they only have seconds to take in as the bride walks down the aisle. If the bride is carrying color the guests could miss all the beautiful detail in the gown, in her hair and veil, or on her sweet nervous face. Although, colored blooms are gorgeous we like for brides to consider this before deciding.

Fabulous Flower Friday!

This isn't a post meant to 'toot our own horn', but regardless of how simple or over the top an arrangement might be, there is nothing we love more than a gorgeous flower arrangement. Whether it's the combination of the colors or the floral varieties, we love creating something that makes you want to stand back, take it in and say "man, that's just gorgeous!"

The picture below, for us, does just that. It's a simple floral wreath that was placed on the front door of a client's home for their daughter's wedding day. Our favorite part? The combination of the floral varieties and the colors. The amazing spring flowers, coupled with the perfect spring color palate; you really can't go wrong!




Fun Fact? Because of the Florida heat, placing flowers in the sun is a result of perfect timing. This was also the door where the bride and her bridal party processed from, and of course was in direct sunlight. In order to make sure the flowers didn't get completely fried by the time of the big moment, this was placed 45 minutes before the ceremony started to ensure it's beauty. :)
