Will you Bee our Valentine ?

I love The Buzz Blog at Diane James Home which is where I found this image. There is always something interesting, compelling and thought provoking. What do you think of this image...it caught my attention.

This is a difficult week for Flower Shops as we await delivery of the flowers that were pre-ordered for Valentines Day. We are waiting for sweet peas and ranuculas from Italy, roses and carnations from Ecuador, peonies from Israel and wax flower from California.

Blizzards and cancelled flights make us very nervous. We are thankful that most of I 95 and Rt 81 Southbound will remain unscathed by the storm as we wait for the truck on Sunday night.

My heart goes out to the shops in the storm area. Some of my Florist friends in New York City are closing down today.

Fanciful Fall Wedding - The Head Table

Do you have a large wedding party?
Take advantage of your venue's best panorama and use it to make a bold statement.

Traditions At The Link has a prominent fireplace which creates an opportunity for a dramatic head table. This Bride was no shrinking violet - swooshes of fabric and ribbon embellished with bold cascades of flowers really stand out.

But even a more demure color palette can be effective too.

Red gerbera, burgundy cymbidiums, coral roses, orange snapdragons, hypericum berries and seeded eucalyptus.

Grand Entrance - Wedding Aisles

The clever and lovely Kate of Lovewell Celebration Design blogged about creative ideas for the wedding aisle. If you have never read her blog, please check it out. www.lovewellpost.com I smiled at some of her favorites as they had caught my eye as well.
So that got me thinking about aisles that The Whistlestop had done. Unfortunately, my PC is riding around in the back of my tech guy's car...something about a graphic accelerator, which means that I can't access my photo archives. But I was able to find a few on my laptop.
