Wedding Flower Inspiration From Sweden’s Royal Wedding

Sweden’s Prince Carl Phillip married Sofia Hellqvist this weekend at Stockholm’s Royal Palace. Who can resist a royal wedding? Lavish settings and nearly-unlimited budgets make royal weddings a wonderful source of wedding inspiration. Watching a bride become an actual princess seems to prove that fairy tales do come true. Of course, what transfixed us about Sweden’s big event was the wedding flowers.

Flower walls of vibrant pink blossoms served as backdrops for both the ceremony altar and the head table at the reception. Outside, extravagant, deeper pink flowers decorated stone columns at the front of the palace. The bridal bouquet included cream and coral garden roses with sprigs of myrtle. Cuttings from the same plant have been carried and worn in the hair of Sweden’s royal brides for over a century.

We are already planning more events in the Showroom!

Our New Look on Instagram

by admin

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.

Beautiful Wearable Tech Arrives

by admin

Last week at London’s BAFTA Television Awards, British actress Donna Air hit the red carpet in in a dazzling example of “wearable tech.” The blush chiffon dress was designed by Rebecca Street in collaboration with House of Fraser. LED lights embedded in the bodice of the dress, and trailing down the skirt, give the high-fashion silhouette an ethereal glow. I would even call this dress… wedding worthy.

Watch this video to see the dress in motion and to learn more about how it was created.
