It All Begins with a Bouquet
|
Of all the flowers at a wedding, the bridal bouquet is perhaps the most personal, reflecting a bride's individual sense of beauty. Some are drawn to a gathering of one kind of flower, each petal nestled against the next in elegant simplicity. For others, an abundance of flowers brings soft, fluttering petals together with sculptural forms, unexpected colors, and delicate tendrils. Or perhaps a sweeping cascade, its flowers falling gracefully toward the hem of a gown. The bridal bouquet often becomes the inspiration for the flowers throughout the celebration. A hint of color, a particular texture, or the delicate curve of a stem finds its way onto the groom's lapel, around a mother's wrist, along the ceremony arch, and across the reception tables. Among the flowers may be a piece of family history. Lace from a mother's wedding dress wrapped around the stems, or a flower from a grandmother's garden. These treasured details make the bouquet unmistakably hers. The beauty of flowers lies in the meaning they hold, whatever the occasion. Reader, take a look at our floral designs online or stop by the shop, where we'd be delighted to create something special with you.

And yet no two dahlias arrange themselves quite the same way. This individuality is part of the pleasure of designing with...
There comes a point in September when home begins to have our attention again. After a summer spent moving from one thing to the next, these weeks give us more time to linger. On the patio. In familiar rooms. Long enough to notice the details we may have passed by only weeks ago.. A corner that could use something green. A tabletop that feels a little bare. Often, it isn’t a complete reimagining that makes the difference, but one well-chosen addition. A generous Campania urn brings weight and...
Certain moments ask for something more than ribbons. We have always answered with flowers. In ancient Greece, laurel was woven into wreaths for the victors of chariot races and equestrian contests. England's Ascot Racecourse became known for its grand floral displays. Kentucky Derby winners have their shoulders draped with hundreds of red roses sewn into a garland. For centuries, wherever horse and rider have met at the height of their skill, flowers have been right there beside them, and the...
