Baby’s Breath – A Desirable Wedding Flower?

Baby’s breath is often thought of as being a cheap filler but it’s making a comeback with today’s brides.

We don’t like pairing it with flowers, it looks great on its own…

As a tall centerpiece in an elegant vase,

As a crystal stand,

Or even as a simplistic bouquet.

It can be stunning and give your wedding a touch of vintage!

An All White Affair

Our latest wedding took place at the Eventi Hotel in NYC! Eventi Hotel
Eventi is known for its cool spaces, just look at their welcoming lobby!

Bride Angela and Groom Matt opted for an all white affair wedding. Angela was the very sweetest! She looked gorgeous and radiant in her wedding gown.

The Bridesmaid’s Bouquet combined white roses and white mini calla lilies with a pretty black satin bow.

We created Angela & Matt’s custom made bird chuppah.

The elegant tall centerpieces wove white dendrobium orchids and tulips together.

Cascade bouquets…Vintage or Contemporary?

Today’s brides generally opt for rounded, hand-tied bouquets and think of cascading bouquets as being vintage or old fashioned. We love the look of a well done, classy cascade bouquet. They can be simply stunning if made well. The only thing to be aware of is to make sure that this type of bouquet compliments your dress. If you’re wearing a ball gown don’t even think about it! Check out some of our own cascade bouquets along with a few others we found.
