  • Are you a Calla girl?

    For some reason Callas are one of those flowers that you either LOVE or hate... Why? I wonder if it has to do with the definitive shape and overall line of the flower The interesting thing is that callas are great by themselves or intermixed with other blooms like roses, orchids, or hydrangea. This bride was in love with purple, as so many of us are. For her bridesmaids we chose a more...

  • Falling in love with Fall

    There is something irresistible about the rich colors of fall. They are fiery and vivid and typically evoke strong passionate emotions that make most of us let out a verbal "ahhhh" when (or more appropriately if) we see the colors of the season change.

  • Textural Interest with Vibrant colors

    Some brides just take your breath away, and this was a weekend full of them. Sam was such a sweet natured and well rounded lady. I loved her vibrant personality which we echoed in her flowers. Funky but natural, textural yet coordinating, rich and vibrant. Sam's bouquet was in a more natural handtied style I call a sprial handtied. It's made in the european fashion where it can literally stand on...
  • Vibrant Purples

    When I see purples I can't help but think of one word... Royalty! The richness of the hues lends itself to a sultry depth, no wonder it was the preferred color of royalty. With a mix of roses, lisianthus, stock, spider mums, snap dragons, lilies and hydrangea it was a beautiful combination of texture and dimension.

    We used 3 different styles of arrangements throughout the Emerald Ballroom at The...
  • The Yellow Rose of Texas

    Themed weddings are on the rise and this sweet Texas bride got her inspiration for her flowers from the famous yellow rose of Texas.

    Her centerpiece designs consisted of half low and half tall arrangements with a...

It sets the perfect mood and creates an overall ambiance better than any other element of your decor.

  • Pink Pastel Peonies

    We always love hearing from our brides after the wedding. Especially when the event was so memoriable. Often times we find ourselves falling in love with a color pallet or design scheme. This was one of those events, and to my surprise I opened my inbox this morning to find this sweet note:

    "Thanks again for your beautiful work. I absolutely LOVED all the flowers!"

  • A Summer of Fiery Love

    When the temperature starts to climb and the sun is our on a regular basis all the colors around seem to be much more intense, letting everyone know that summer is finally here (not to mention the 100+ degree days). With all the heat and sunshine it seems fitting to create some hot and fiery pieces to showcase this couples big day. The mixture of lilies, gerbera daisies, roses, curly willow,...
