  • 2 Popular Bridal Bouquet Shapes for your Wedding
    Bridal bouquets are probably one of the first flower arrangements you think of when you hear “wedding flowers.” According to google there are 7 popular bridal bouquet shapes, we are going to focus on the 2 most popular bouquet shapes. Cascading bouquet and traditional hand-tied bouquets are the most popular bouquet styles for 2022 wedding flowers. A Traditional hand-tied bridal bouquet has the actual flower stems for each flower gathered and arranged in ones hand. These bouquets can be round or more oval and can be a tight look or even more loose and flowing. On the other hand a Cascading bridal bouquet has the appearance of the flowers are trailing or flowing down the bride. These bouquets can be on smaller or long and even flow to the ground. Sometimes the bouquets are made in a handle, or the flowers are wired to help create that perfect trailing shape. Regardless of which bridal bouquet shape you choose make sure to remember this important detail. When holding a bridal bouquet, make sure it is at your belly button height. That way the bouquet isn’t blocking your beautiful face and dress. Make sure to pick a bridal bouquet shape that speaks to you and that you will be happy seeing in your wedding pictures!
  • Why have flower prices increased?
    This is the question isn’t it!?! Well for a few reasons, flower prices just like everything thing else in life have gone up. 20 years ago you could get something for x price but now it has inflated to y price. Sadly gas, hard goods and labor cost have increased and so the floral price has increased. Secondly designs have become more elaborate! if you are wanting an arch full of flowers expect that to have a correlation with the cost of your wedding flowers. That particular piece can will take a time to design and create and then there is the shear amount of product to cover the wedding arch. Truth be told- Wedding flowers comes with a price. The best advise I can give is to REPURPOSE your ceremony flowers in the reception aspect of your wedding! That will give you the most bang for you buck. 🌸
  • Are there different boutonnieres options for Groomsmen and dads?
    Hi, Let’s talk Boutonnières. There are many options when it comes to boutonnières! But here are a few of our favorites. Also upgrading to magnetic boutonnières is a great option because then there is no stress about pinning them in correctly! Option 1) Classic spray rose and greens with a little accent of seeds or filler flower. This option is popular for the groomsmen and dads. Option 2) a few spray roses or a full rose and greens with a little accent of seeds or filler flower. This option is popular for the groom. Still matches option 1 but a little fancier to stand out. Option 3) a succulent with a spray rose and greens with a little accent of seeds or filler flower. This option must be a magnetic boutonnières to help hold the succulent weight. This option is popular for the groom. Option 4) spray rose and little bit of greens. This option is great for ring bearers. Finally this is where many put their own flare on the event flowers, whether its adding a fishing hook or a shot gun shell casing to the base of of the boutonniere. This is your event, so make it your own. We as event florists love to help make your day special so don’t hesitate to ask us for personalization when it comes to the boutonnieres.
