If you follow us on Instagram you may have noticed something different. So far 2015 is a year of big, beautiful changes for us. First we gave our site a new look, and then we moved into our new Manhattan showroom. As Creative Director, it’s important to me that everything we do conveys the romantic, feminine aesthetic of Bride & Blossom, so our Instagram feed is now a more carefully curated stream of pure inspiration. Behind the scenes moments from events like our showroom launch party, wedding details that thrill us, and the very best of our wedding-flower creations. Follow us and let me know what you think of the change.

Moms as Brides: Happy Mother’s Day Part 2

by

Mothers-Day-Brides-Manhattan
Happy Mother’s Day to all our beautiful brides who walked down the aisle with their own son or daughter as ring bearer or flower girl! We always love to see the ways that children are included in wedding ceremonies and celebrations. It’s especially touching to see kids escort their moms to the altar.

To all the brides who got married with their children at their side, all the brides who became step-moms when they said their vows, all our brides who are now moms or moms-to-be… have a beautiful Mother’s Day!

THE REAL THING Cover

 In a single day in 2009, Ellen McCarthy became the wedding reporter for The Washington Post and broke up with her boyfriend of nearly two years. At age 30, she was suddenly a chick-flick cliche, interviewing florists and wedding planners between crying spells and dutifully smiling through conversations with blissful couples. Fortunately, her book’s resemblance to a Katherine Heigl movie ends there.
