Prom Flowers

Wrist Corsages for Prom: 

 Jewelry or Granny Panty Elastic? 

 

Can you find the Granny Panty Elastic?

 

When there are so many fabulous wrist corsage bracelets, that are pretty enough to wear on their own as jewelry, why would you ever choose to have yours made on a granny panty elastic band?
Demand something better!
No more granny panty elastic bands for prom!

She rode in on a horse!





Getting married in Syracuse NY with a Western flair!
Cassandra and Jim will settle in Utah so it just seemed natural that their event would reflect that part of their life.
 Even we were surprised that the Bride rode in on a horse. Cassandra was in perfect control of her mount and all the rest of the well thought out details of the themed wedding. The location was the beautiful rolling hills of Central New York, which happened to be in the family's back yard. 

The Father of the Bride was either signaling the start of the processional or providing  a motivational moment for the  Groom. All in fun of course!
 The maids carried handtied bouquets of thistle, sunflowers, scabiosa pods and coral godetia with burlap ribbon trim. 

 The ranch style arch was constructed just for the ceremony. How perfect is the lush cornfield in the background. The Groomsmen wore dark blue levi's and a black sport coat. 
Do you love the Groom's white hat?







Black Shepard Hooks, hung with mason jars, lined the aisle. Wispy grasses, sunflowers and rustic burlap ribbon  were arranged  to reinforce the western theme. 


The Bride carried a nosegay of Eskimo roses, white hydrangea, curly willow and scabiosa pods including embellishments of pheasant feathers. The handle was ivory burlap and a tiny touch of rhinestone bling. The Groom had a matching boutonniere.


Oh my gosh, I love that smile. Cassandra and Jim, you created a wonderful event. Thanks for letting us be a part of the happy day.

Blush and Bashful


Cute as a button



Blush and Bashful Bouquet featuring Pink Gerbera, White Hydrangea and Pink Carnations.

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.

We named this design Blush and Bashful.

Ribbon Embellishments


 
 Beautiful ribbon and jewel treatments for large vases.

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. 

Why do I point this out?  Because it is the small details that make a difference. 

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. 

Do you like this idea? Come in and brainstorm with us

Tulips Funky or Fabulous?

Reposted from www.sprout-flowers.com
 and the amazing *Kathy Walsh.


Can you stand how amazing these fringed tulips are?!!!


I adore unusual varieties of flowers, especially of flowers that can be rather common place like the tulip. If I hadn't told you these were tulips, would you even have known?!

LOVE!

*Kathy passed away this past year and is sorely missed by the Floral community. 
She was one uber-gifted Florist! And an inspiration to many.
