Bowery Hotel wedding flowers.

I almost never post the very next day from a wedding, but, I am excited to share these with you. The colors were white, ivory, sage green, blush, and peach. We used juliet roses, anemone, amaryllis, orchids, spray roses, ranunculus, lisianthus and hydrangea. The reception was at the super cool Bowery Hotel in NYC on February 25th. I also had the pleasure of working with the lovely gals from Firefly Events! Enjoy! You can see more image from this wedding on my floral Facebook page.

Brooklyn wedding at Bubby's in Dumbo.

This sweet at pie couple gave me total creative freedom to create their "modern woodland" style wedding flowers. They liked bold colors, brown bottles, and eclectic style. I can't remember exactly what the groom's fascination with larges pieces of drift wood came from, but, I think it was from a trip he and his now wife took together? Non the less, he brought this up and I got fixated on finding the perfect piece of wood for a card table display. I had this piece of wood drilled to fit water tubes in so we could create a look where the flowers looked as though they were growing out from it. We all loved it and it was super fun! Some of the flowers used for this October 23rd wedding were purple asters, fern, fiddle head ferns, billy balls, yellow ranunculus, celocia, stock, and wax flowers.

Engagement flowers for Anne Hathaway @ Soho Books store.

I recently had the pleasure of doing engagement flowers for Anne Hathaway. Her event was held at the Housing Works Book store in Soho. They wanted a very non assuming, simple floral arrangements to add a pop of color to the small cocktail tables that were sprinkled throughout the space. Anne wanted a combination of deep purple, plumb, and dusty pink blooms. She particularly loved Anamone's and Ranuncuous. The guest table arrangement was made in a pedestal bell jar situated next to a bird bud vase with a big fat dusty pink garden rose with a touch of jasmine. There were two long tables in the back which we adorned with mini bell jars, mercury bottles, tea lights and bud vases. I also got a shout out in People mag.!

The Foundry, Long Island City wedding flowers.

This was a one of my favorite weddings of the year. The bride wanted a classic, yet textural and elegant look to her designs. The Foundry of course, it a stunning backdrop for these sorts of designs. We used lots of succulents, gardenia's, orchids, callas, spanish moss, snowberries, roses, and hydrangea. Enjoy (: I also had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Ara, of Rock Paper Scissors Events! And, the mega talented photographer, Liesl of Photo Pink!

Aldine Printing. Or shall I say Aldine impress!

I had the pleasure of going to a f-a-c-t-o-r-y today. A real, live, historic factory! It reminded me why I love NY so much. It's so rare that old machines are still used on a regular basis to create beautiful, clean, manicured paper goods. Aldine is the only specialty printer left in Soho and is a family owned business to boot.

As I stepped out of the elevator doors, and into the home of Aldine, caught a whiff of an unfamiliar inky, oily type of smell as well as hearing a hum of paper constantly shooting out one by one in a rhythmic sort of pattern. I didn't really know what to expect during my visit to this printing museum (that what I felt like anyways!) but, as soon as I saw the production room, my breathing started increasing as I laid my eyes upon these gorgeous, intriguing machines, some of which are over 100 years old. I felt like I was in the Willy Wonka factory for printers. I actually saw someone sanding the edges of these round paper invitations to make sure each and every one is absolutely perfect. I have a new found appreciation for paper products and the manufacturing process. It really is an ancient art. Aldine Press was the printing office started by Aldus Manutius in 1494 in Venice, from which the famous Plato, Aristotle and other Greek and Latin classics were printed. The Aldine Press is famous in the history of typography, and the introduction of italics. Amazing...
