<br />
Throughout the years, I've seen various things: ranging from extravagant, to simple. There's no right or wrong favor, there's just the right one for you (and your budget!). But I sometimes get asked, "what is the best favor for my money?"<br />
<br />
..and the answer is..<br />
<br />
<i>Anything edible!</i> If people can eat it, or drink it, you can almost always count on not having a lot of leftovers come the end of the evening. This can leave a truly large bevy of options - you can go big, or small.. the options are endless.<br />
<br />
Want to do something fun and utilitarian/multi-useful for place cards? How about a candy apple, with the guest's name tied with ribbon around it?! This would be such a cute idea for a fall wedding, and it not only instructs guests where to sit, but it also satiates their favor, too.<br />
<br />

However, if something a bit bigger (with a little bit of this, and a little bit of that) is more up your alley, then I highly recommend the ever popular Candy Buffet! Also called a Candy Bar, Willy Wonka Bar, etc., it is always an incredibly popular favor choice among guests. Not only does it allow for guests to pick and choose which sweets speak to them most, but it also makes for a really lovely tablescape. Here at the Whistlestop, we've done more Candy Buffets than we can count, and have all sorts of glass pieces, fabrics and other textures, bells and whistles, to make these really <i>pop</i>!</div>

Another fun component of these, is that you can pick and choose what you would like <i>and </i>have it coordinate with your colors, too! Don't let the pictures above make you feel that soft pinks and whites are the only choices; we've done these in every color of the rainbow! You can also have fun choosing containers for guests to take home their treats, which is another way to make this aspect of your day more <b>you</b>.</div>

This couple were naturals in front of the camera, and the bouquets that Leigh Ann chose were absolutely <i>perfect </i>for the aesthetic that she was going for. Remember the last blog post, where I discussed a little bit about keeping your venue in mind, in correlation to the aesthete that you're going for? Well, just like all of our other brides, Leigh Ann was right on the money!<br />
<br />
This bride and groom chose a fun, non-traditional venue for their reception: the historical, the beautiful.. Landmark Theater! If you haven't ever considered this landmark (no pun intended) for a potential reception location, it would be worth checking out - it has a feel and look like none other in the 315.<br />

Can we just talk about the <i>absolutely glam</i> bridesmaid's dresses?! Wow! What I really love about their dresses and bouquets, is that the simple, yet elegant, bouquet doesn't get lost whatsoever with such a sparkly, jazzy dress; if anything, it ties the look together perfectly.<br />

<br />
Chelsea and Joe were married this past May, and chose the OnCenter as their venue; such a fun, big space! What I really love about the OnCenter, is that it's really versatile, and you can do so much with this space. It's quite the chameleon, and can go with so many different themes - be it traditional elegance to a fun theme wedding (I've seen a really amazing Pirates of the Caribbean style wedding done here!).<br />
<br />
However, Chelsea chose to go with beautiful shades of lavender and purple, and paired it with fun uplighting, to really make her party extra fun!<br />

Chelsea really did a wonderful job picking colors and textures, and her wedding was very classic with modern twists; a pretty amazing combination, if you ask me! If you are anticipating a lot of guests, and want a big, protean venue, then I would definitely recommend the OnCenter: especially if you have something specific in mind as far as the style you're looking to encompass. I always like to remind any brides to-be to consider how well the venue, and the look you're after, mesh together. With so many beautiful options in tow, there is absolutely a place for every couple to celebrate the beginning of their union!</div>

They make the <i>perfect</i> gift - be it for a birthday or a wedding shower! They're classic pieces that can be handed down.. a true heirloom. And, they're all locally painted in the Finger Lakes - in our very own Aurora, New York (if you've never been to this charming and quaint town, you really must venture out that way). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the ways you can use their pieces, is on your wedding day. That's right; I'm not joking! You can use them to make your candy buffet/Viennese hour that much more fun, with various types of platters, cake stands, and cookie jars. The best part? You can take them home after, to enjoy for years to come! It's this sort of decorative functionality that makes them even better - I love building memories with various pieces over the years. I think we all have a memory or two of Thanksgiving turkey being served on a family platter!</div>

The annual MacKenzie-Childs barn sale is coming up... which means that I have some shopping to do! It also means that <i>you</i> might also have some shopping to do! ;) If you've ever wanted a piece (or few.. or five) of your own, this is the perfect time to get your hands on one. Though not everything in the catalogs or online is available, the staples certainly are! </div>

<br />
Sarah and Josh are <i>such</i> a cute couple: you can tell that they're so in love with one another, and I think you'll all agree when you see some of their photos! The bride and groom chose to have both their ceremony, and their reception, at the absolutely gorgeous <a href="http://www.geneseegrande.com/" target="_blank">Genesee Grande Hotel</a> in downtown Syracuse. For anyone that is considering this venue for their ceremony, reception, or both, it is definitely an excellent option - and with plenty of rooms for guests to stay in, too!<br />
<br />
Sarah chose to utilize her bridemaids' bouquets as a centerpiece for some of her tables, and this is always such a great way to keep your beautiful bouquets on display! It also helps keep them in better condition throughout the night, too, by placing them in julep cups; this way, they don't have one "flat" or "smashed" side by the night's end! <br />
<br />
Making the choice to do your ceremony and reception, all at the same venue, can be really beneficial if you have a significant amount of out-of-town guests - <i>especially</i> if they're not from the area that you're getting married in. This way, they don't have the stress of having to navigate not only to one venue, but two! Though not all venues offer this option (especially with larger-scale weddings), it is definitely becoming more and more popular amongst brides today.<br />

Anyway, here on the blog, I'm going to focus on doing a series where one particular post is focused on a particular wedding, and without further adieu.. I would like to introduce to you the fabulous wedding of Sharlie & Jo!</div>

<i>The stunning bride & groom</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sharlie was such a fun, sweet bride; I really loved working with her! Her wedding was very elegant and classic: gold candelabras, with centerpieces that were dripping in green amaranths. Sharlie and Jo chose to host their guests at Justin's Grill, which, for those who aren't aware, have really delicious fare! Purple uplighting, along with the floral decor, really helped to set the mood for not only a beautiful event, but a fun one, too! I'm sure that each and every guest enjoyed themselves, and most importantly, that the bride and groom will always look back fondly upon their wedding day.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Sharlie chose to go with a mixture of high and low centerpieces, which is a very popular choice among brides. Why, you may ask? It helps tease the eye; and add depth and dimension to a room. This is a great way to also have two different styles of centerpieces, too: perfect for a bride that may be torn between two ideas!</div>

Oh my!'Tis the season.. for Junior Proms and Senior Balls!<br />
<br />
It has been <i>so</i> busy here at the shop; we've been getting everyone ready for the big dance! Or, for some of you - many dances! It really is <b>a lot</b> of fun to work with our clients who are going to their prom or ball, especially when they bring in their dress to help pick the perfect wrist corsage. One of our girls did that this past weekend, and it was such a blast to help her craft a unique and custom wrist corsage: I'm positive that she's going to have such an amazing evening!<br />
<br />
That being said, there's a lot of new things in the wonderful world of prom flowers; things that weren't widely available ten years ago. With different types of bracelets, ranging from freshwater pearl styles to ones that are entirely covered in crystals, there's honestly something for every look! Tulle with sparkles, tulle without sparkles.. feathers with sparkles, feathers without sparkles! The options really <i>are </i>quite endless - if only it were this way when I was in high school! We girls sure do love our accessories, don't we?<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures of our "prom bar" in the store, so you can get an idea of all the different things I've been talking about. If you or someone you know is in the market for a wrist corsage, boutonniere, flower crown or fun hair clip.. send 'em on over! And if any of you are getting married, and wanted to do any of our keepsake bracelets for your wrist corsages on order, just say the word; it can be made possible.<br />

Well, it's been here for a few weeks now, but with the blooming of trees, flowers, and shrubs, it just <i>feels </i>more like spring! I'm sure many of you can agree, that with the earth coming alive, you come alive along with it.. :)<br />
<br />
Now that it's officially spring, with summer just around the corner, many brides are getting ready to walk down the aisle. All of the preparation is coming together, each detail is stacked on top of the other, all to form the magical day that you say "I do." So much thought and emphasis is placed on the dress you wear for your wedding day, but what about rehearsal dinner?! It's surely an excellent opportunity to wear a lovely white dress, romper, or otherwise, and I've found some options that would be not only tasteful and sophisticated, but comfortable, too! These pieces are also great for your honeymoon, or even just a nice dinner date with your new husband during the warmer months.<br />
<br />
Click on the image below to view the widget of different looks that would be great options for a rehearsal dinner! There's even quite a few of these that are on sale!<br />

While searching for a lost photo (which I never found) I came across an "inspiration" folder of aisle treatments. So take a step of fantasy - see if any of these spark your imagination. If you are planning a wedding, stop in and brainstorm with Kim. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Set in the splendid gardens of The Mirbeau Inn and Spa and photographed by Leo Timoshuk, it was a complete win-win event. The color theme of soft pink and ivory with pearl accents was beautifully executed in summery florals. </div>

We're loving these vintage canning jars for sweet summer bouquets. Besides pink, they come in aqua, yellow, lavender and clear. The buttons come in different shades as well.<br />

<span style="color: #737373; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: small;">This is not a casual look - but it is not entirely formal either. The jeweled brooches elevate the mood but the felted ribbon brings the tone down a notch or two. </span><br />

<span style="color: #737373; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: small;">Think about how you could use this idea in your event. The blue and yellow is so eye catching but sage green ribbon, pine cones, white hydrangea and evergreens could be substituted for fall or winter. </span><br />

<br />
<b>I</b> posted a completely unscientific wedding survey on the blog here,
trying to get a feel for what's driving the calls for wedding
consultations.<br />
<br />
Every year we get swamped with calls in January for consults, and every
year I can't keep up with them, so every year I try to analyse all this
and try to figure out how to do it better.<br />
<br />
I don't know that I have that all figured out yet.<br />
But I keep trying.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the survey question and responses -<br />

I'm still not sure what to do with this information. I thought for sure
answer A was going to come out on top. I figured that in the era of
Pinterest, blogs, web sites, Facebook, etc., that most vendors were
researched to death on the internet before the client meeting, that our
creativity and skill had already been assessed and compared to other
shops', and it was just a matter of whether our prices match the
couple's budget.<br />
<br />
<i>(And personality fit. Because it can make a big difference if you
and the client "click" - or not. You need to do that in person for
sure.)</i><br />
<br />
So imagine my surprise to find that a third of people who took the
survey just want to pick our brains. And that another 37% want to book
an appointment without having a clear sense of what they want or need in
a florist or flowers.<br />
<br />
It's certainly ego boosting to think your creative brain is worth
picking, but I can brainstorm until the cows come home. Not only does
that not pay the bills, too many ideas are ultimately confusing and lead
to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis" target="_blank">decision paralysis</a>. The client needs to have done some research and planning before we get to the flower brainstorming. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Dresses need to be purchased.</b> I can't brainstorm on "the dresses will <i>probably</i> be coral". </li>
<li><b>Your personal style needs to be determined.</b> No one is <i>rustic-chic-romantic-elegant-classic-creative-modern-vintage</i>. Never. If you think that's your style, you will need to narrow it down a bit before meeting with a florist.</li>
<li><b>An honest and realistic assessment of your flower budget.</b> I
have never seen a cheap flower idea from Style Me Pretty or Martha
Stewart. If you are using styled photoshoots as your inspiration, then
be prepared to have a magazine editor's budget.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
By all means, get your girlfriends, a bottle of wine, and Pinterest together! But <i>after</i> you have focused your ideas is the time to sit with your florist. :-)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We are always on the hunt for eye catching accessories and we found these last year at Market. This fall they showed up on the cover of Gump's of San Francesco's wonderful catalog! Fabulous velvet Pumpkins that will add unexpected elegance where traditional gourds would be too rustic. And they are very light weight which is a bonus if you store your seasonal decorations up or down staircases.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If realism is your thing, how about these faux gourds - I'm crazy for the color and shape. These are definitely going to be added to MY home collection. </span><br />

My mother, then my sister and now I have tended this garden. We are vigilant weeders yet each of us has allowed this spreading plant a home amongst the the hosta and azaleas. I have my reasons. The tiny unripe berries never fulfilled their sweet promise because the rotten chipmunks never left me more than one or two. So, at the beginning, I weeded them out. But I quickly missed the dainty white blossoms - those cheerful harbingers of summer to come.<br />
<br />
This year the chipmunks have disappeared. All three hundred of them. But now there is a plague of cats. However kitties don't eat strawberries, so I am taking advantage of this bonus year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All that is required to make this tiny arrangement is an abundance of strawberry plants and fresh mint. Any small container will work and a demitasse cup is perfect. I don't suggest using Oasis as the mint does not take up water from the foam very well. And without the stability of foam, this bouquet could not be delivered. But it is an easy DIY and would be irresistible on a brunch or luncheon table.<br />
<br />

June is strawberry month. And this year it has new meaning for me as my wonderful Husband has built me a raised garden for strawberries and blueberries. Next year I will be sharing pictures of my own berries.<br />
<br />
If the chipmunks make a come back perhaps the story will be different...<br />
<br />
Enjoy the luscious photos and go pick some strawberries this weekend!<br />

Handsome and Gorgeous. And having a great time at their wedding. I was browsing through the images on James Bass Photography and it was plainly clear that EVERYONE was having loads of fun. James also captured some tears of joy which plucked a familiar heart string. Isn't that what a good photographer should do! Capture the moment and tell a story.</div>
