Beautiful Birthday Bubble Bowl…but why not a wedding centerpiece?

Somebody had a happy birthday….and received this beautiful piece of floral art. This stunning arrangement uses white dendrobium orchids, lilac roses, and three varieties of miniature calla lillies to create the color blocks that keep it modern.  Brides, there’s no reason that any arrangement you see in any section of our store or our website can’t be fashioned into a centerpiece.  Just because it’s not on the “Centerpieces” page doesn’t rule anything out.  So keep an open mind when you see flowers you love…anywhere.  Snap photos!  God didn’t give us cell phones with cameras so we could take self portraits in the bathroom.

This beautiful "bubble bowl defies the traditional round shape, providing a modern edge while maintaining the romance with soft color and beautiful blooms.

When the Moon Hits Your Eye Like A Big Pizza Pie…Our Favorite Italian Wedding Detail

A form of dragée: Jordan almonds (a.k.a. confe...

That’s Amore! Love! Amore! (let’s keep it true amore as opposed to the kind that is likely about to kill the political career of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi).

The Italian culture is passionate, full of beautiful art, fashion and design.  The food? Don’t get me started. What better place to find wedding inspiration? You could go a hundred directions with this – and we say run with it, FloJo – let that imagination loose.  Our favorite Italian wedding detail, suitable for any wedding, very pretty, and very easy: Jordan almonds.

Jordan almonds are candy coated almonds that you’ll find at any traditional Italian wedding.  Sometimes in little dishes on the tables at the reception, others cleverly packaged as favors (traditionally small tulle bags), or even sprinkled directly on a dessert buffet as part of the decor. Used in groups of five, almonds signify five wishes for the bride and groom: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. Design bonus: they are available in any color of the rainbow, even silver and gold, so they can be perfectly blended with any decor.

Can’t say that about big pizza pies, can you?

Keep an eye on that moon.
