  • Bold Colors with Great Contrast

    The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center has a wide array of beautiful ballrooms. The ceremony pictured above is in The Glass, looking out over the water. With the bold color combination of the flowers the room was really transformed into the perfect setting for her ceremony, then flipped and used for the reception later that night.
    The Emerald ballroom is also one of my favorites with it's tall...
  • Welcome Home

    What better way to welcome guests into your home than to have an abundance of fresh flowers in every room! What was even better about this home is that they had stunning antique vases that already coordinated with each room.
    We used a variety of peach, coral, green, pink and champagne tones to compliment the decor of their beautiful home. With full and luscious arrangements in just about every room...
  • Back to School

    It's that time of year again when all the kiddos go back to school! Yeah for more normal schedules, right? Make sure you thank all those people who helped you survive the summer with a beautiful bouquet of flowers! And better yet, send some to your kids teachers, school staff, or principle. I'm sure they would love the beautiful surprise. Can you think of a better way to kick off a new school...
  • Pink Vistas


    ...or rather pink in the Vista Ballroom at the Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. There is something so beautiful about a pop of bright color in this ballroom, with all the windows and chandeliers. We used white hydrangea, pink gerbera daisies and lavender spiders in a beadermier style for the centerpieces and buffet arrangement, while the bridesmaids bouquets were filled with pink gerbera...
  • Party in Style

    2 girls + pink flowers + family and friends = one amazing party!
    With garlands above the doors, a curtain of flowers in front of the window, and tulip centerpieces ti was the perfect combination for a celebration never to forget!
  • Easter at the Carlton Woods

    Brunch, Lunch and Dinner! We did it all this year and had fun with the GORGEOUS cherry blossom that we got in. Blooming branches just scream spring!
    One of the events had a white and yellow color scheme and so we thought it would be fun to use tulips, gerbera daisies and yellow button poms. To help elongate our tablescapes we used some of our silver votive cups with one fun tulip sticking right out...
  • Time Period Parties...

    ... are always more fun! We recently made fun arrangements in vintage malt glasses for a 50's themed party at The Club at Carlton Woods.
    The bright vibrant colors stood out and created a fun and youthful ambiance throughout the room. Fun accents like aluminum wire and color changing lights helped add to the party atmosphere!
  • A Whirlwind of Weddings

    It's that time of year again when the weather is perfect, the flowers are blooming and the brides are marching. What a beautiful time to get married when all of nature seems to be singing your praises.
    It is such an honor to be a part of such special occasions, and our team here at The Blooming Idea takes pride in each piece we create. Here is just a snapshot of some of the recent weddings we've...
  • Belle Rose in Beautiful Blues


    We had some absolutely beautiful weddings this past month and the event at Belle Rose Maison was no exception. With blue hydgrangea, beautiful white roses, blue delphinium and hot pink miniature garden roses with dangling crystals atop tall cylinders with curly willow inside the vase. Against the royal blue pin tuck linens the arrangements were stunning. We also used phaleanopsis orchid plants as...
  • Showing off in Spring


    There is something about the weather in spring that is so nice. I love it when mother nature shows off and lets all her favorite flowers burst into bloom. This beautiful bride got to enjoy the best of the season.

    Her bouquet was a beautiful mix of soft pink and white roses with Stephanotis blooms while her boutonnieres were a simple white rose with a blue delphinium bloom accent. While outside she...
  • Pretty in Pink...

    Spring is the perfect time to bring out the pink! Especially with a splash of green or white to liven it all up. Her pew decor was a beautiful single stem of pink hydrangea with a white satin ribbon. They are one of my favorite pew decor options for an indoor ceremony simply because they are so much bang for one bloom! Her reception centerpieces were fun and vibrant with alstromeria, hydrangea and...
  • Wishing in Crystal...

    Wishing trees are something that have become very popular in the last year. This brides tree was created with bleached manzinita branches in tall cylinders with crystals at the base and hung in the tree branches. The manzinita is a strong branch and is great for draping crystals, candles or holding an array of wishing cards. Her cake was a beautiful combination of white miniature garden roses,...
