Flower of the Month: June - Rose

Over the past two weeks, we have shown some of our favorite designs for bouquets and centerpieces. And this week we are going to showcase boutonnieres and corsages. Traditionally, body flowers (flowers worn to show a person's significance) have been a nod towards the bridal bouquet or towards the color of clothing worn at the event. However, gone is that tradition! Boutonnieres and corsages have been upgraded to small pieces of art with as much importance as the other flowers in the wedding!

We hope you love these beautiful pieces of art as much as we have loved creating them!!

True Love Tuesday: Courtney & Dylan - June 9

Elegance. That was Courtney's idea for her big day. She wanted shades of red and pink and LOTS of roses. To ensure that the red and pink stood out, she decided to go with white and brown as a backdrop.

For her bouquet she wanted something that stood out, so to create something especially lush for her we chose a variety of roses in shades of pink and red and added a few tulips to provide some extra texture.

For the attendants, we created white bouquets out of Roses and Wax flowers with Scabiosa  Pods for an added texture.

The corsages and boutonnieres were all about texture. The corsages were white Spray roses with Wax Flowers wrapped in a brown satin ribbon. The boutonnieres were Scabiosa Pods, Curly Willow, and Ruscus leaves wrapped with a bronze wire.

Each mother had a different corsage made from the same roses as the bride carried. 

Isn't her bouquet stunning. The different textures of each variety of rose really makes the bouquet special. (Piano Roses, Hearts Roses, Tulips, and David Austen Roses)

Thanks to Details Weddings & Events for this great picture of the centerpiece we created using all of her roses.

Prom 2012

This cute couple wore a coordinating corsage and boutonniere.

Ahh. Prom is complete! Every year the hustle and bustle of prom takes over the shop. Our tables were full of beautiful flowers just waiting to be wired, taped, and turned into a beautiful creation for the our young lads and ladies to wear. This year the theme was originality, long gone are the days of roses and coordinating ribbons, corsages and boutonnieres are now fashion pieces that are almost as important as the dress/tux that is worn.

Here are a few of our TOP favorites, and believe me - it was tough to choose just a few.

A Vision in Lilac

Ashley's request: a beautiful bouquet in shades of purple incorporating sprigs of Lilac. I was so happy with how this bouquet and coordinating flowers turned out, and it's always nice to make a bride's dream come true. The burst of color from the Lilac with pops of white from the orchids is a personal favorite!

Here is a glimpse of her lovely flowers.

Her bouquet was composed of Dendrobium Orchids, Roses, and Lilac.

The corsages and boutonnieres were combinations of Gardenias,  Delphinium, Limonium, and Lilac.

The bridal party carried a bouquet of Hydrangea and Limonium.
