Bouquet Recipe: Sweet Succulents

by

Sweet Succulent Bouquet Recipe

This bouquet recipe from Amanda Reppond’s wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park uses a classic pink and green color scheme to achieve a preppy, elegant style with a unique twist. The unexpected pairing of miniature succulents with traditional white roses, accented by splashes of pink and lime from green viburnum and pink lisianthus, make this bouquet as unforgettable as Amanda’s special day.

The Bride Wore Black

by

Bridal accessories

Every season, at least a couple of designers send black wedding dresses down the runway. Women have embraced the LBD for almost a century, so it makes sense that some want to get married in their go-to, formal-occasion color. Picture yourself in something more traditional? A touch of black brings sophistication, elegance and even drama. Above, one of our brides makes a statement in a gorgeous black fur shrug. Below, a bouquet we created with green cymbidium orchids and eggplant calla lilies (sometimes referred to as “black” calla lilies). Here are our picks, for brides who feel inspired to practice the dark arts.

Inspiring Collection from Enchanted Atelier by Liv Hart

Bridal Accessories from Enchanted Atelier by Liv Hart with Flowers by Bride & Blossom

The Knot just did a wonderful feature on Enchanted Atelier by Liv Hart’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection of bridal accessories. We chose a few of our favorite shots and paired them with some of our recent wedding flower creations.

We get inspired watching the ways brides use similar elements to reflect their own style. The bride who chose a bouquet of classic calla lilies, wrapped in ribbon and adorned by vintage-look brooches, might choose a similar hair accessory to continue the theme. The gleaming butterfly headpiece strikes a pretty but understated note that contrasts with the whimsical mood cultivated by the playful bride who brought us silk butterflies to add to her bouquet and centerpieces.

With Me All the While: a Wedding at The Brownstone

by

Jennifer Oratio and Michael Kainatsky met online three years ago, but as fate would have it, their paths had crossed many times. Although they both lived in New York City when they met, they grew up a mere five minutes from one another, in neighboring towns of Ramsey and Mahwah, New Jersey. They hung with the same circle of friends and even attended the same prom, but never formally met until more than a decade later. A marathon first date led to a long-lasting connection. They became engaged a year and a half later, and married another year after that. Their special and unbreakable bond is irrefutable.

Embellished Bouquets for Extra Sparkle

Flowers bring beauty, freshness and wonder to weddings. How flowers are presented can express creativity, mood, and the personality of the bride. This is why we love to design wedding flowers. Using some of nature’s most incredible creations to enhance and communicate the spirit of love and celebration never gets old because every bride and every wedding is unique.

Brides planning a rustic wedding may dream of carrying flowers that feel as if they were just gathered from a field. Natural-looking bouquets incorporating leafy stems and wildflowers are charming with simple, gauzy gowns and hair worn in loose waves or braids.

For formal affairs, many brides choose a more structured bouquet. Symmetrical compositions and understated wraps show off the beauty of impeccable blossoms and look perfect carried by brides wearing chic updos, classic jewelry and elegant gowns.
