Bridgewaters Wedding- July 2011

One of our weddings this past weekend had a cute travel theme incorporated into their reception.  We worked with the couple and their planner Michelle, Founder of Pink Monkey Events to assist with making their dream wedding come true.

Their escort card table was decorated with several vintage suitcases in blue, brown and yellow.  Michelle creatively displayed the escort cards inside of two open suitcases.  The top suitcase featured a display of cascading flowers meant to feel like they were popping out of the suitcase.  The base of the display had votive candles scattered around to cast a romantic glow. 

I love that the couple chose to go with a blue and brown theme.  The blue complemented the location of their venue, Bridgewaters which features river views from the cocktail area and outdoor space. The brown added a touch of vintage which carried over in the floral centerpieces, the brown linen napkins and the brown crocodile texutred frames holding the table numbers.

The bride and groom were so happy with the way everything came together.  It's always so satisfying for us to see people smile.


 

City Blossoms Has Some Fresh Designs

In anticipation of our launch of our new website we felt like we needed some fresh designs to go along with it.  We had an all day photo shoot last week with the amazing Nicholas Eveleigh.  He has this amazing ability to capture our designs in a way that even makes us say, "Oh Wow".  Here's a sneak peak of a few of them.

Rockleigh Country Club Wedding - July 16, 2011

City Blossoms was busy this weekend with a wedding at the well known Rockleigh Country Club in New Jersey.  The bride wanted her flowers to make a statement.  It was all glitz and glamour with all white flowers and crystals. 

Her Chuppah was draped in a light fluttery white chiffon.  All white hydrangea and delicate white phalaenopsis orchids were clustered on the front crosspiece for a dramatic design.  The sides and back had hanging crystals with white phalaenopsis orchids that gave off a floating affect. Uplighting was added at the end for the piece de resistance.  The weather was just perfect for this outdoor late evening walk down the aisle.

The reception tables were centered with alternating designs of low and two different high style centerpieces for a dramatic visual effect.  Crystals were added into the individual arrangements so that when the lights were dimmed and the votive candles were lit it gave off a soft romantic shimmering glow.

Modern Trousseau New York Photo Shoot

Here are a few photos from our recent collaboration with Modern Trousseau New York.  They asked us to design a few bridal bouquets for their New York City shoot this past June.  We love the dresses!  They are absolutely gorgeous and super sexy.  Our flowers definitely take a back seat to the dresses which were the real inspiration for the shoot.  We were just lucky enough to add that extra element that makes the dresses pop!

Battery Gardens Wedding - Chris & Jaap, Saturday, June 24, 2011

This was a fantastic wedding at Battery Gardens where the bride, Chris requested all orange tulips.  The design varied throughout the ceremony and reception.  Sometimes the flowers just speak for themselves.  These are just a few photos.  We will post more shortly.

Our Trip to Wave Hill - Public Garden and Cultural Center

This weekend I had visitors from my hometown and wanted to take them to places other than Times Square.  There's so much more to New York and the boroughs.  It was such a beautiful weekend and we wanted to take advantage of the weather so we took a trip to Wave Hill in the Bronx. 

What a spectacular place!  There's 28 acres of gardens, grounds and woodlands.  Everythings is so green and in bloom right now.  I had been there once before for an event but didn't get to see the entire garden.  We really picked the perfect weekend.  Not only was everything flowering but it was also a sponsored weekend by Target so the entrance fee was free! 

Here are a few photos from my visit.  Enjoy!

The Celebration Continues

It doesn't happen very often but once in a while you have the couple that comes to you telling you that they're already married and are throwing a celebration for their family.  You know that adventurous couple that runs off and gets hitched on some tropical paradise and brings just their close friends or immediate family.

Jen and Joseph did just that!  When we first starting discussing the details of their event it was to be very low key.  This was a dinner celebration for the people that wanted to share this part of Jen and Joseph's life.  As it turned out the event morphed into a full wedding ceremony and reception.  On top of that this all came to fruition in just a couple months time. 

Jen and Joseph were so much fun to work with.  They got a beautiful day and really deserved it.  We wish them a lifetime of happiness and all good things to come their way!
