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.

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

Fall wedding flowers to be thankfull for

This is a lovely fall bouquet, for a wedding party. The attendants have rich red tone dresses. The random cascade sets a carefree yet elegant look to a formal event.

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.

Winter Wedding

Now for a break from the Christmas displays, we have two wedding bouquets for your perusal.

First is one made using pink roses, posie callalillies, and hypericum.

Harvest Wedding

Just recently we completed a wedding for a woman in Warwick.  She wanted to do a fall themed wedding, with a very light and airy feeling.  We used a multitude of nuts and fruit, combined with ribbon, autumn leaves, orchids, pumpkins and gerbera daisies.

The nuts and fruit have been touched with some gold paint and glitter

Mmm... Cake

So yea… pretty much the best autumn themed wedding ever.

Gerbera and Chocolate Wedding

Gerbera daisies, chocolate center, stock, and hypericum.  That’s what it takes to make the most delicious and innovative (not to mention tastefully simple and clean) wedding of the season.

This wedding was just recently (a few days ago) hosted at the Waterman Grill in Providence, RI.  The chocolate brown with white was something wanted by the bride, (we jokingly showed her the brown ribbon with a leopard print ribbon underneath…  which actually didn’t look that bad).  Upon first sitting down with us she had said that none of the other florists she had visited could figure out what she wanted… as you can see we did:

The brown tablecloth looked amazing

As you can see, the colors of the wedding were complimented by the colors of the room

Take that Martha Stewart!

The cake, post-decoration

mmm... delicious

Tropical Wedding Shower

Tropical Centerpiece

For this series of arrangements, a particularly artistic client wanted colourful and summery (but not too crazy) table arrangements. We opted to go with oranges and purples to give the shower a tropical and exotic feeling.  There were going to be eight tables at the shower and we needed to keep the arrangements short enough so that guests could see each other over them.  We used roses, tritoma, pin cushion, protea, birds of paradise, orchids, assorted eucalyptus, and other tropical plants such that each arrangement looked different.  For the pictures below I picked out two of my favorite arrangements out of the eight.

As you can see, we used a 5x5x5" clear glass cube vase

The birds of paradise incorporate all the colours we used throughout the arrangement

The oranges and purples compliment each other immensely
