  • Strawberries and Chocolate

    Although the summer can be excruciatingly hot it didn't deter this beautiful couple from taking the plunge. Miss Amber picked a beautiful all inclusive location called Theresa's Place for their event. They used the adorable outdoor gazebo for their ceremony. And just to spice things up a bit we created a luscious flower garland in hot pinks and whites to dress it up. The fragrance from the...
  • Pretty in Pink

    When the weather actually cooperates it is such a beautiful back drop to have an even outdoors. There is nothing quite like the artistry of nature to set a romantic tone for a wedding recpeption. This wedding was in the brides home. Her yard was just perfect for her romanitc ceremony.

    Different flavors of soft pinks, limey greens and creamy whites were used throughout the decor. The bride wanted to...
  • Vibrant Purples

    When I see purples I can't help but think of one word... Royalty! The richness of the hues lends itself to a sultry depth, no wonder it was the preferred color of royalty. With a mix of roses, lisianthus, stock, spider mums, snap dragons, lilies and hydrangea it was a beautiful combination of texture and dimension.

    We used 3 different styles of arrangements throughout the Emerald Ballroom at The...

  • Sweet 16


    Who said you can't have flowers for every major event? Even if we were told no, I'm not sure any of us would listen! We LOVE to party and no party is complete without floral decor. It sets the perfect mood and creates an overall ambiance better than any other element of your decor. With this classic Red black and white color scheme I'm sure it will be a party that is remembered for years to come!...
  • Pink Pastel Peonies

    We always love hearing from our brides after the wedding. Especially when the event was so memoriable. Often times we find ourselves falling in love with a color pallet or design scheme. This was one of those events, and to my surprise I opened my inbox this morning to find this sweet note:

    "Thanks again for your beautiful work. I absolutely LOVED all the flowers!"

    What could possibly be more fun than having a happy hour before going to a Jimmy Buffet concert? Stumped? Me too!

  • Saris, Jewels and Henna = Gorgeous Ceremony

    Talk about beautiful colors. This bride had an absolutely gorgeous wedding. They had a traditional Indian ceremony complete with Saris, Jewels and Henna tatoos. The catch was that as the bridal party were being announced to their guests, you'd think you were at a different wedding! The entire bridal party had completely changed from their Indian Saris to black tuxedos and a-line gowns, including...
  • Easter Weekend Part 3

    With beautiful skies, a cool breeze, and the birds singing their sweet melodies how could you not just step back and say to yourself, "Self, it's going to be a B-E-A utiful day!" (Pardon my stealing a line from the Truman Show).

    Sunday morning we arrived at The Carlton Woods - Nicklaus Clubhouse bright and early to begin the set up for their Sunday Brunch event. This was the final event of the...
