Sample spring & summer arrangements

This is a sample of a centerpiece we are doing for our Memorial Day weekend Bride at The Garrison. We are alternating four sets of arrangements. They are all different styles. In this, we had the idea of creating a miniature rock garden as if plucked from an English Garden. The actual centerpiece will have two types of fern including Maidenhair, more succulents, Moss, ivy and a floral spray on top.



Stay tuned for the real thing after Memorial Day weekend.

 
This sample floral design was made  in a low metal container. We used  little pebbles, Lemons,  Lilies, Roses,  and Orchids hed by wire .

spring flowers


These are examples of the work we did for the Round Hill House event. We staged them when we got home. The first photo is a close up of our Cloche. We have been doing these for 5 years along with Terrariums and now they are coming into style. What is nice about the Cloche is that it can be modified into many different styles like a wooden with fern. We also had these on alternating tables for a Lincoln Center spring gala honoring Meryl Streep.  

Below we have an rusted Urn w/ Feathers and cotton. We have the spring bouquet with natural rope, Jasmine vine, feathers and raspberries. We also have a closeup of the lantern cocktail arrangment.



























Round Hill House wedding Event




Last Sunday we participated in a bridal event at The Round Hill House in Washingtonville, NY. The first photo of our full table display with assorted arrangements.

On this table we used a bubble bowl, displayed a spring garden bouquet with rope. This is a nice change from traditional ribbon and more organic and natural (seems to be a trend), an English style Cloche, there is an Urn, two black ceramic companion pieces, a cocktail arrangement inside a lantern, a Manzanita Branch w/ Orchids, Jewels & hanging votives and the last were three various sized cylinder glass pieces with flowers, rope vine and lights.
Many of these containers lend themselves to many styles and flowers.

Assorted Arches




Here we have several Arch styles.











Assorted Huppahs

The Huppahs

Here we have assorted Huppahs. Even Non Jews are now getting married under a Huppah. It is so nice to get married under a beautiful framed setting. We love it. Just wish more people would spend the money to cover them.


Mother's Posies

These are examples of Mom's Posies. Modern Mothers like to carry small bouquets rather than Corsages. These little bouquets look so nice in photos especially when there is a small bridal party.

Summer centerpieces


We alternated these arrangements for a summer wedding. Some centerpieces were wrapped in burlap and the other arrangements were mini terrariums.

We used this idea for another wedding. 

We wrapped the centerpieces in burlap for the rehearsal dinner and then took, it off and added flowers for the reception.



These are bar arrangements. We used three Bubble Bowls and stacked them to create an interesting look for a “Planet Themed” wedding.
Inside were Orchids, Hydrangea and Calla Lilies, milk and lights.



Baby Showers

These are two pretty examples of baby shower centerpieces. Tammy Baldwin of Charmedplaces.blogspot.com was the planner.


It's really fun to do baby showers, especially for baby girls.


Bouquet style centerpiece and wood box

The bouquets are actually centerpieces for a Bloomberg LLP party. We wrapped them in wire.






The other arrangment is in an old crate
