QuatreCoeur in Martha Stewart Weddings.

Back in July, we created this bouquet and centerpiece for the Martha Stewart Weddings/ Winter 2011 issue. And now that this issue is for sale, we no longer have to keep it a secret! These images can be found in the "Perfect Palette" feature, which has great style ideas for planning a wedding by color.

The bouquet: With white and slate as the starting point, we found these gorgeous gray succulents and airplants. We chose greenery with soft gray tones such as olive leaves and lambs ear, as well as white scabiosa and orchids. This is the perfect bouquet for a bride who loves something dramatic and unusual.

The centerpiece: A great idea for a modern orange and white wedding. Kumquats and clementines paired with stephanotis and fragrant gardenias. This centerpiece would be perfect for a cool loft or restaurant venue.

More Modern Love.

A few months ago, we wrote a post about Lisa and Chris's modern romantic wedding. Here are a few of our favorite professional images that we just received.

The flower girls carried red carnation pomanders instead of a traditional basket of petals. I love the way it looks against her white dress!

Diane Stredicke, the photographer, did a beautiful job of capturing the couple, the bouquets and the centerpieces by candlelight. Another favorite detail of this wedding was Lisa and Chris's sweetheart table which had three small "poufs" of roses, carnations and baby's breath, arranged at different heights.

Overall, what was so memorable about this wedding for us was to be able to use these classic and even ordinary flowers in such a fresh, contemporary way. For brides who love this look, the possibilities for color options are endless and these flowers are available in all seasons.

Tiny Pears

A few photos of centerpieces we made for an event this week at the 3 West Club. I forgot to take the camera with us on the delivery- but the Club was beautifully decorated for the holidays with fresh garland, wreathes, trees and candles.

After the delivery we walked over to Rockefeller Center and saw the giant Christmas tree. I've lived in NYC for six years and I have to admit that this is the first time I have seen the tree in person. It was pretty amazing.
