True Love Tuesday: Mary & Adam

Mary and Adam were married on a gorgeous day in May. And her color choices couldn't have been more perfect! The blues and purples were a perfect compliment to the perfectly blue sky that day! We used Hydrangea, Gladiolas, Iris, Eryngium, Seafoam Statice, and deep purple Carnations. For an added bit of softness, we wrapped all of her vases is ribbons of lace. Her bridal bouquet was a fabulous natural cascade with Lily Grass and Curly Willow accents mixed with the different blooms used throughout her floral design.

Enjoy!!!

True Love Tuesday: Valerie & Matthew

Valerie and Matthew's mixture of vibrant yellow and soft grey they chose for their end-of-May wedding was a perfect nod to the beginning of a very warm summer. This fabulous couple was married at Pratt Place Barn, and the whole event was delightfully fresh! Valerie chose to use lemons in her reception decor, and they were the perfect touch to add more of the sunshine yellow color throughout her arrangements. Take a peak at a few of the floral details from their very sunny day!!

Enjoy!

Ranunculus, Gladiolas, Daisies, Baby's Breath, Lemons, and Dusty Miller were all used in Valerie's yellow and grey design.

Flower of the Month: August - Gladiolus

Happy August! As we all know, the heat has been bearing down on us the past few months and with August arriving that means our hottest month is finally here! So, take a break and enjoy the refreshing blooms that Gladiolus (Glads) provide.

Glads are a favorite flower among florists because they are a hearty cut flower and can withstand the extreme heat that we get here in the South when properly used in an arrangement. They are a great flower to use when you are needing to add height to an arrangement, and the best part is they come in a HUGE range of colors and variegations.

Glads mixed with Birds of Paradise provide height, depth, and a softness to the tropical arrangement. 

Gladiola blooms add a delicate texture to this modern centerpiece.

Since, the blooms grow individually on a stalk they can easily be removed from the stalk without affecting the other blooms. This provides florists with the great ability of using the individual blooms in bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages.

Enjoy!!
