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!

Does your podiatrist have a foot fetish? (and is that a good thing)?

by

Does your podiatrist have a foot fetish? He’s looking a little flushed as he addresses your ingrown toenail. Ponder it for a moment. Why does he have a job where he touches feet all day long?

Chances are, (love you Dr. Fielding- mean it), that he’s just super passionate about his work in a perfectly healthy way. From our wacky blogs and tweets about our passion for parties and deep connection to flowers, you might think we’re a little cuckoo for cocoa puffs ourselves.

When it comes down to it, do you want your wedding vendors to be a little obsessive and nutso about their art? You better believe it! And if they don’t consider their work “art,” (especially where cake, decor, flowers, music, photography etc. is concerned) then RUN for the hills. Fast! Like a…crazy person.
