True Love Tuesday: Jordan & Chance - The Reception

You might remember Jordan & Chance from a previous blog "Jordan & Chance - June 30," and as promised here are the shots from her reception. We carried her style over into her Ceremony and Reception space. We went with the same white theme as her bridesmaids flowers by using Hydrangea and Seeded Eucalyptus. To tie in the hemp cord from her bouquet we wrapped her vases in burlap bags.

Another huge thanks to Meredith Melody for sharing her great pictures with us!

Enjoy!!

True Love Tuesday: Jordan & Chance - June 30

Jordan and Chance were married on June 30th at Pratt Place Barn. Jordan came to us with a picture of her perfect bouquet (we'll cover inspirations in a later blog) with one request: change the white flowers. She knew she wanted something a little rustic but with a flair of elegance. So...we bring to you: Naturally Chic. 

Thanks to Meredith Melody for all of the fabulous detail shots. And we look forward to bringing you more about this wedding!!!

Enjoy!!

Purple Hydrangea, White Dahlias, Green Carnations, Scabiosa Pods, Bramble Vine, and Heuchera foliage all combine to create the bridal party's look. 

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!!

Modern red Gladiola boutonniere

This boutonniere is made from a Glad bloom that was taken apart and put back together around a Calla Lily.

This lovely bouquet has Gladiola blooms mixed with Roses and Dusty Miller.
