"Springtime in Fall" Inspiration Board.

We created this inspiration board for Grace, whose wedding is coming up on October 23rd. When we first spoke, she told us that she wanted a yellow, blue and raspberry theme, and loved the airy, whimsical quality of spring flowers.

This board was our starting point for showing the bride that you can achieve this feeling, using what is in season right now. She loved the idea of using berries, dahlias, and garden roses.

Our design developed further after that to include vintage and woodland elements like mercury glass vases for the centerpieces, blue mason jars and vintage bud vases for the cocktail lounge, and rustic urns filled with seasonal branches. Needless to say, we are looking forward to creating the flowers for this gorgeous wedding!!!

90 days.

About three months ago, I got married and recently I realized that I had never shared pictures of the day on this blog. So, here are a few of my favorites.....

That's Ruth in the first picture pinning the corsage on my Mom.

Jeremy and I wrote our own vows. It wasn't easy to try and say all the things that we wanted to in a few paragraphs, but we managed. And we shed a tear or two in the process.

My favorite 3 year old was fascinated with the flowers and wanted my play with my bouquet. There was no negotiating with her.

I made all the floral elements for the wedding, and to keep things simple I filled mason jars with all one type of flower, hosta, fern or millet.

I love this photo. It was taken right after the ceremony and we both felt a huge sense of relief to have the formal part of the day over with. We were no longer nervous and knew that soon we would soon be eating and drinking with our guests (which was our favorite part of the day).

The most wonderful time of the year.

It finally feels like fall in Brooklyn and I'm loving it. This is my favorite time of year for a number of reasons, one of them being the beautiful flowers that are available. In this arrangement I used: dahlia, roses, lisianthus, scabiosa flowers, scabiosa pods and hosta leaves.

Modern Love.

Here is a sneak peek at the the wedding we worked on last weekend. We collaborated with Ara of Rock Paper Scissors Events to bring the bride's vision to life. It was a tall order: 33 tables for a modern Indian wedding!

Using classic wedding flowers like roses, carnations, and even baby's breath, we created these fun and contemporary centerpieces and bouquets. The trick is sticking to one type of flower and clean, geometric shapes to achieve the look.

The bouquets were arranged to be a little softer and more romantic, with roses, calla lilies and orchids. I love the way these rich red blooms look against the silver dusty miller leaves.

Many Congratulations to Lisa and Chris, the Bride and Groom!
