Late Afternoon Wedding on The Atlantis Yacht

What could be better than a late outside afternoon ceremony followed by a wedding reception and dinner onboard one of the finest yacht's New York's harbor has to offer? One of the wedding trends right now is saying, "I do" and followed by a cruise around the New York City skyline.  The beauty of New York is when you can see the cityscape against the night sky along with some of New York's greatest landmarks like The Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler Building, The Brooklyn Bridge and The Colgate Clock. 

City Blossoms worked with a bride and groom hosting their wedding on The Atlantis this past August.  Their color scheme was black and white.  We used all white flowers on the arch for the ceremony as well as the centerpieces for their reception. 

Dressing up the Bridal Bouquet

Like the dress the bridal bouqet can have its own wow factor.  One of the easiest ways to dress up your bridal bouquet is with the wrap.  You can use different textured ribbons such as velvet, grossgrain and satin.  You can have it wrapped with a simple striped grossgrain in a contrasting color, have your stems wrapped in a corset style design with pearl pins to help keep it in place or use floral tape to keep the stems tight and wrap them in a monogrammed handkerchief.  You can add embellishment to the wrap such as crystals, pearl pins, buttons, brooches and more. Think long cascading ribbons in similar shades to the bridesmaid dresses for their bouquets.

This is a great way to personalize the bouquet and add a special touch with something meaningful.  Your floral designer will be happy to incorporate these details into the bouqet for you.  Just bring them your ribbons and embellishments in advance so they can design these elements into your bridal party flowers.
