You want even more wedding centerpieces? Now this is getting personal..

by

The stats don’t lie, centerpieces are all the rage. And why not?  They do make a good starting point.  So now we get personal. Here’s the scoop (and the photos) of the centerpieces from my October 2010 wedding expertly planned, designed and coordinated by My Little Flower Shop, soup to nuts.

My now husband and I told Greg the colors we liked, and that we wanted the wedding to be on the contemporary side.  From there, Greg came up with the idea that instead of one big design in the center of the table, he would do three smaller ones – more of a tablescape than a centerpiece.  The outcome was elegant and modern, and suited us perfectly.

This low, rectangular centerpiece element is green cymbidium orchids and seeded eucalyptus in a natural fiber container

 

This centerpiece element consists of tightly clustered green button poms in a modern glass container lined with a ti leaf
This centerpiece element added height to the trio with white dendrobium orchids in a bed of moss in a neutral ceramic container
Pin-spot lights focused on each table highlight and unify the three pieces and make the glassware sparkle
The tables varied: there were also low arrangements made of green roses.

Thanks to Cheryl Mac for her beautiful photographs, and to Greg and Al and Mary for my beautiful wedding.

Be well, and love well!

Pretty Fricken Funny! Brides do say some CRAZY things.

I admit it – I must have said something in this video verbatim while planning my wedding.  We who planned in glass houses shall not throw cake plates.  We’ll just giggle, and not take ourselves so seriously.

Enjoy – a good laugh is cathartic!  And thank you to WeddingChannel.com, and to YouTube.

 

 

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

by

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.
