Hydrangeas and Roses and Weddings oh My!

Hydrangeas and roses are the fashion

for this summers wedding scene, and we are only too happy to oblige.

Way back in July we did a fairytale wedding in our garden here, at Ferns and Flowers, Tea house and Bistro.

The arch had a mix of garden style flowers and features roses, hydrangeas and ribbons.

A bubble machine added  hundreds of bubbles to the I’do’s!

The the 45 guest had dinner served in the farm house.

Ice branches from our shop window

A peaceful morning from our shop window.  Enjoy the calm of the day after Christmas.  Many countries celebrate boxing day today.  Giving gifts to employees, and helpers, and service people like the mail man!

Enjoy the calm with a cup of tea and our bistro and tea house!

Ferns and Flowers is a family business, we are nearly 30 years old.

My wife Monica runs the Bistro and teas, and I, Michael run the Florist and Gift shop with my mother.  The three children are involved between school.

We have decorated the many dinning rooms in different looks, to give as many feelings and ideas for the Christmas season to our clients.  Come for a visit, it is a joy to see you.   Michael, Monica, Children, Grandma, and Staff.

Traditional Christmas Mantle

The soft cream colors here are accented with a touch of gold, and red for a classic look. This display in our shop is over filled, but at your home edit, then re edit.  At my home I often leave some decorations in storage, and take them out the next year,  they look new to me after that time.

Rich Fall Flowers

Rich colors of the season, remind us of Tuscany.  This table is for a fall wedding celebration, but the combination is perfect for any family gathering.  Cabbages, sunflowers, roses, red rover mums, and Gerber add the rich textures to this design.

Christmas Holdiday Tea, in a elegant decorated farmhouse

Rhode Island Garden Centerpiece

This arrangement was created using Hydrangea, roses, cabbage, miniature cymbeduim orchid, grasses, and several other plants able to be grown in gardens around RI.  It was placed in the recent favourite pea-pod vase.

Garden in a Peapod

Hello folks, sorry for the lack of updates… school is starting up again and professors usually frown upon my furiously typing in class…

Anyways, this arrangement is for a real gardener and plant lover.  We used a ceramic pea pod container and filled it with a large variety of plants, such as Stars of Bethlehem, Tritoma, Lavender Roses, Tuber Roses, Cabbage, Gerbera, Adriatic Lilies, Rose Hips, Pink Spray Roses, and Rosemary.

Cabbages and Butterflies

A little spanish moss really brings out the colors of the roses... its a good thing

Notice how the butterfly pulls the oranges and whites down into the core of the arrangement

I love the macro function on this camera!

FTD Sunflower Arrangement

Here is the arrangement as it appeared on the FTD website

Here we have another arrangement recieved through FTD.  At our online store (www.fernsandflowers.com) customers can order pre-designed arrangements and we replicate and improve upon them.  Of course, sometimes these orders can be tough (Its impossible to have every single flower than can appear in the FTD networks arrangements on hand all the time), but we never cease to try to please.

Our version

We also added Kankgaroos Paw

Don't worry, by the end of the day all of that green will have revealed tiny yellow flowers
