Brooklyn Botanic gardens summer wedding flowers.

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!

4th of July flowers

I couldn't help but post these flowers for this 4th of July weekend. I have these wonderful serpentine vases that I am in love with. They are so organic, free flowing and simple. In this arrangement I used Piano garden roses, white lisianthus, light blue hydrangea, red dahlias, red spray roses, red hypericum berries and dusty miller. Happy 4th everyone (:

F.E.A.S.T. at Round Hill wedding flowers.

This was my other May 21st wedding that took place at the gorgeous F.E.A.S.T. at Round Hillabout 75 miles upstate. These clients were near and dear to me for years. In fact, I nearly watched these kids grow up! The bride was looking for a soft, playful, feminine and natural looking flowers. We used lots of Peonies, veronica, roses, astrantia, scabiosa pods, delphinium, lambs ear, astilbe and thistle. The landscape at the venue was the perfect back drop to suit both the flowers and the brides over all style. The isle may have been my fav from this wedding. We used vintage blue mason jars hung from a shepherd hooks to line the isle and put down soft yellow and pink petals. They had a hand help chuppah that was made by their family, which I will post when I get the professional pictures.

I normally do not like to travel very far for weddings, however, this venue was a a pure joy to work at and wouldn't hesitate to make the trek again!

A Montauk Club wedding in Park Slope Brooklyn.

This spring-y wedding was so much fun to design! The bride wanted an unstructured, elegant look using soft tones. I chose muted greens like eucalpytus, succulents, and dusty miller to accent the flowers. The main blooms were peonies, pink veronica, ranunculous, poppy seed heads, and queen ann lace. We alternated the centerpieces by using the full scale arrangement with mercury candle sticks and paired the succulent based arrangements with a collection of mini bell jars. These featured tiny succulents with grey spanish moss for a simple, elegant spin on a terrarium! The escort table had a huge cherry blossom arrangement with little bird bud vases at the base.

Flowers for a Brooklyn loft art opening.

It's rare that we florist's get our grubby little hands on Cherry Bloosms since they come around only once a year for a short period of time. They are the definition of beauty to me me. Branches + flowers makes this girl very happy. The flowers were for an art show featuring Mather and Company work incentive posters. They are fantastic, optimistic, usually colorful posters that date back to the 1920's.

Galapagos Art space wedding, Dumbo Brooklyn

My bride was looking for a slightly vintage look with a crisp twist using bright greens and vivacious yellows. I used white hydrangea, yellow freesia, white ranunculous, billy buttons, star of david, ferns and a black handle for the bouquets. For the ceremony flowers, we used the most gorgeous white Amyrillis mixed with red and yellow berries, curly willow branches and hanging tea lights. The cocktail tables were small, so we used an assortment of containers to mix it up a bit. My favorites were these tiny little birds nest's with billy buttons, white dahlia's and china berries.

This wedding was was a dream. The color palette was black and white with a natural feel. The bridal bouquet was made of white callas, black star callas, fiddle heads, wave leaf and white ranunculous. The handle was a black, textured crossed hatched material with crystal pins for a slightly old world feel.
