Black and white winter wedding for a NYC couple.

On this bitter cold day a very sweet couple got hitched! The bride wanted clean, simple, elegant yet playful flowers. Our wintery mix included Anemone's, brunia, Tibet roses, Star of Bethlehem, Ranuncs and Narcissus for the moms! The bridal bouquet and the groom's bout got a special feathery touch using white ostrich feathers.

Anemone's and their amazing grace.

During the production of my last event, I found myself in complete awe of my flowers. The care taking involved is like taking care of a baby. (OK, maybe that's a little too far) What I mean is that I find myself constantly changing the environment to make them happy. Window open for cold, window closed, because it's too cool. Blinds open for more sun, blinds closed for less sun. Bucket up on the table because heat rises, bucket on the floor for those who like it colder. I even come check on them in the middle of the night to make sure all is well in the flower room (:

My anemone's are from our local garden state New Jersey. When I picked them up on Thursday morning, you wouldn't even know they were Anemone's. They were completely closed and looked almost like a tulip! I put them in some warm water and in the sunlight and POOF they opened up like a jack in the box. At night they tuck themselves in. Literally they close completely up as it they never opened.

Hydrangea's also need some special attention. Hyro, meaning water, means these puppies need CONSTANT hydration. Not only for their stems, but, they love to take a 20 minute bath, fully submerged in warm water. Once they come out of the tub, they get sprayed with a special solution that helps lock in the water. There is also a secret herb to put on the stem to promote water uptake.

Fall wedding for a Brooklyn couple

Matt and Laura wanted a warm, autumnal, wedding blending lots of oranges, reds, and yellows with plenty of texture. They are a relaxed creative couple who were a breeze to work with. We used mostly orange"Trix" roses, black baccara roses, orange protea, mini euch., berries, mums and celosia in our designs.

Laura also wanted a pair of custom made earrings to go with her vintage flare accessories. We created the perfect size hand made earrings using 14k gold fill, aqua-marie, and moonstone rondells for some shimmer.

French-parisian style wedding at the Montauk Club, Brooklyn.

The Montauk Club in park slope Brooklyn is one of my very favorite venues to work. It's old world beauty is breathtaking and was the perfect backdrop for my Oct. 23rd wedding. The style was a sort of darker twist on a French-parisian market. We used all warm tones which complemented the bridesmaids vintage, mix matched, mustard/gold dresses. The bridal bouquet was a mix of Dahlias, billy buttons, pheasant feathers, protea, and plumb colored roses. The center pieces were my signature mixed bottle collection on a stump riser covered with burlap. The card table was one of my all time fav's. I constructed a "bird on a wire" type card/tag holder. The tags had a tea stained look and were attached using tiny little clips. In the center of the table, I made a large arrangement inside one of my vintage bird cages. To the far right was a stack of vintage books with an oil lamp glowing in all it's glory. My bride scored a vintage mail box on Etsy.com where people would put their hand written post card into the box. Super cute wedding and even cuter couple (:

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.

Montauk Club wedding, Brooklyn NY. Grandama's attic style flowers.

I don't know how I get so lucky with getting the sweetest couples ever. Julie and Stu came over for a consult about 2 months before their big day. They wanted a "Grandma's attic" style wedding using vintage medicine bottles, mason jars, and Julie's hand painted, hand build stamp pad display on each table. They got married at the gorgeous Montauk Club in Park Slope Brooklyn and their flowers were a complete joy to make.
