Brooklyn Botanic Garden wedding/summer!

This May 5th wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, was chock-full of bright colors including reds, peaches, pinks and greens. PERFECT for the impending warmth that is now here to stay for the summer. The centerpieces were made up of red charm peonies, pink ranunculus, goditia, red tulips, peach hypericum berries, lisianthus, dusty miller, peach amaryllis, geranium and jasmine. Each centerpiece was placed on top of the couples sci-fi books (part of their theme) as well as on top a bunch of criss crossed ribbons. The card table was a structure of birch poles with rows and rows of lace, bakers twine, peach and red ribbons to hang the escort cards from. We had lots of fun chochques for the card table including mini bell jars with little ranunculus, berries and jasmine tin-a-le (new word) arranged inside (:

The ceremony was in the breath-taking blue bell field which is a dream come true for any bride to have in full bloom on her wedding day. See more pictures from this wedding on my floral Facebook page HERE! 

Bright bouquet for a Brooklyn bride.

My lovely client contacted me months ago for the personal flowers for her July 30th wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. She wanted all brightly colored, happy flowers including calla's, gerbera daisies, crespedia, spray roses and seeded euch. We also added some vintage red button's down the front of the bouquet for extra cuteness (:

This was my other July 23rd wedding that took place at one of my favorite places to work, the Brooklyn Botanic gardens. The bride was looking for a whimsical, funky, seasonal flowers using bright colors including cobalt blue, yellows, melons and white. Together we collected the cobalt blue vintage bottles to mix in with the vintage silver bud vases and my mercury bottle tea light holders. She also really wanted to have a natural touch being that we were in the BBG, so we incorporated a natural stump riser which is always a nice way to unite the collection of bottles. She wanted her bridal bouquet to be most sun flowers and her girls to have a seasonal mix as well as wild flowers. We used hydrangea, asters, thistle, crespedia, daisies, and greens. I loved working with this bride. She had a vision, yet, totally let me do my thing too. She was relaxed, happy and totally not worried about her flowers, which is always the best complement (: Enjoy!
