Here’s a look behind the scenes of our recent flower class, Pomanders & Prosecco. Expert floral stylist, Dieter, demonstrated the technique of crafting pomanders, using vibrant, fuchsia carnations. We love welcoming attendees into our new showroom, and seeing everyone’s enthusiasm as they learn how to use tools of the trade. Best of all, we just love meeting others who love flowers!

If you attended our flower class, please post your own photos on social media, tagged #brideandblossomnyc. We’ll repost and share. And if you use skills learned in class to create your own gorgeous floral arrangements at home, share those photos, too! If you haven’t come to class yet, why wait? Our next class, Contemporary Centerpieces, is coming up on September 9. Visit our Events page to check out all upcoming flower classes.

Mood Board: Bridal Bouquet Inspiration

by

Mood Board - Floral Inspirations White Bridal Bouquet

For a bride-to-be who wants classic, romantic, white, wedding flowers, we created this mood board with an inspiration shot of a very full, rounded bridal bouquet. White ranunculus and garden roses, with warm ivory to cream centers, will give the bouquet sumptuous, petal-dense texture, with enough soft depth to stand out against a white wedding dress.

I wanted to share this particular mood board because it’s a great example of how we, as wedding floral designers, execute ideas. A simple, classic, white, wedding bouquet is always an elegant choice. By putting thought and care into flower selection and an exacting color palette, we are able to elevate a simple concept. The result will be a beautiful, bespoke bridal bouquet, with a look that is both timeless and utterly of-the-moment.

Chelsea Piers Coral Peony Bouquet by Andrea Fischman

Planning your wedding and looking for wedding flower inspiration? When you’re figuring out what types of flowers you’d like your floral designer to use, sometimes it all starts with your bridal bouquet. Bouquets should capture the season, mood and theme of your celebration. You’ll carry these flowers close to your heart as you walk down the aisle – what could be more special? There are as many bridal bouquet styles as there are brides – let your bouquet reflect your spirit and flatter your natural beauty.

You’ve been letting us know how much you like our bouquet recipes on social media, and we love making them, so here’s our latest. Yesterday we showed off the white floral chandelier and lush floral runner we created for Renee’s wedding on Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan. Her bridal bouquet, like all her wedding flowers, started with white, peach and blush flowers. We chose some of our summer favorites -peonies and garden roses – then added white veronica, silvery dusty miller, and deep green ruskus, all arranged in an airy, natural style to show off mixed textures. Our favorite part of this bouquet? A vibrant pop of coral peony.

Floral Chandelier at Chelsea-PIers-by-Andrea-FischmanSunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers

Are you as obsessed with floral chandeliers as we are? Hanging florals have taken over everyone’s Pinterest boards and we believe this wedding trend is here to stay. Luxurious hanging florals uplevel the entire look of a wedding. We were thrilled when bride Renee told us she was dreaming of a gorgeous, showstopping floral chandelier, for her wedding on Chelsea Piers’ Sunset Terrace in Manhattan.

Renee decided on an overall wedding-color palette of white, cream, blush and peach. We selected white and cream flowers with lush greens for the floral chandelier. A natural look, with lots of mixed texture, felt right for this summer wedding overlooking the Hudson River.

Mood Board: Candlelit Florals for Cocktail Hour

Let this mood board inspire you next time you set your table to entertain. Flowers in candlelight truly create a sense of magic and romance that makes any evening more beautiful and memorable. We love to create groupings of small floral arrangements in glass vases of varying heights. Setting the vases and candle holders on a glass or mirrored surface adds extra glimmer. Small mirrored disks or highly polished metal trays are the way to get this effect at home.

Wedding cocktail hours should feel warm and romantic. Old friends catch up as new flirtations start up! Guests experiences a moment of shared emotion before celebration and dancing. One bride-to-be asked us to create a glowing space for her guests to enjoy cocktail hour, with candles and flowers on every surface. Instead of the classic red roses in the inspiration image, we presented her with a softer, summer color palette. Big, voluptuous coral peonies, palest blush ranunculus, peach Juliet garden roses and peach parrot tulips, with their unusual, ruffled petals, will all look stunning, set aglow in candle light.
