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.

Winter funeral flowers

Here is a soft selection, for the passing of an elegant lady.  The soft pearl and shell tones of the spray roses,  hybrid roses, and peonies along with the cascading cedar greenery, and soft tone of the seeded eucci.

The elegant comination is perfect for any time of the year, and for a peaceful elegant and comforting look.  The looks very handsome on a rich tone casket, a wood tone or even a brushed nickle.

Magical Centerpiece

A delightful fairy sitting on one of our fancy blown glass bowls, we added water and floated glass “bubbles” for a magical table setting, perfect for a party, holiday, or Tea Party celebration, even a fairy tale wedding!

Fruit and flower arrangements

Fruit and flower centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table, adds the flavor of the season.

The textures and colors come together when I gather flowers, to match the dinning room, the table cloth, and the china pattern.
We can make a pink and rose color dinning room look thanksgiving and fall like, by adding red apples, beige wheat, purple cabbage flowers, brown pears, red, cream, and honey tone roses and orchids.  Go ahead and call me for some suggestions!  Michael

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.

Wedding Whites

A handsome arrangement perfect to accent a guest book table. Sea shells and soft shell colors or blush roses and ivory hydrangia and other pink flowers carry out the theme.

Fall Cornucopia

Here is a particularly warm and inviting arrangement created using gourds, roses, wheat, apples, sunflowers, and lilies, all put in a natural woven vine cornucopia.

Perfect for the Thanksgiving table

And one more for good measure

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

Sunflowers and Hydrangeas

Back with the crowd favourite, Hydrangeas!  this time paired with sunflowers, iris, stock, and a berry garland.

The arrangement stands about 3ft tall

The hydrangeas were picked directly from our gardens

Yellow and Purple are an incredible color choice, especially when you include Iris
