Inspiration Feature: From Across the Blogs....

If you've been following our Facebook, you know we've started weekly offerings of inspiration we find from across the net. The reason why is because anytime we have down time at the shop we're searching out the latest and greatest trends in the floral industry and we wanted to share! We come across a ton of awesome possibilities for weddings (or events) and since we spend all this time looking for them, we feel its only right to pass along our pretty findings.

We love the traditional elegance, we love sleek modern, we love bright colors, soft colors, geek chic, steampunk, tropicals.... we just love anything with flowers. And thankfully now with blogs we have such great opportunities to celebrate the cleverness, wisdom and ideas from so many brides!

Last week we featured this lovely, traditional soft pink wedding that we oo'd and aah'd over the elegance.

This week we featured this Bohemian styled shoot which shows off a gorgeous headpiece that essentially functions as her bridal bouquet! Just a touch of kale to carry and give your hands something to do.

Keep checking out our Facebook on Tuesdays for another dose of inspiration!

Annoucement: Brides of Oklahoma feature!

Did you know we're being featured in the next magazine of Brides of Oklahoma?

Did you?

We're pretty excited!

And not only that, but they've chosen one of our bouquets to be part of their Countdown to the Cover segment. Check it out here! (We have all oo'd and aah'd over this particular bouquet.) They'll be releasing the cover on Wednesday and we're excited to see what local bride they'll be showcasing this time.

One reason we're so excited to be a part of Brides is because we love what they're doing. Featuring local florists, cake designers, photographers and fabulous brides from our state? Yes, please! They release a spring & fall issue featuring real weddings that let designers show off their work from across the state. So we always highly recommend it to our own brides looking for inspiration - where better than from your own? The great thing is that the magazine features everything from drop dead elegant to bright cosmic colors to, yes, rustic barn elegance.

And (again) as always for more inspiration, be sure to check out our hand-picked blogs to the right. We follow these ourselves for keeping up with trends, styles and lovely floral fashion and love sharing our finds with you. These blogs feature from all over the world, so there's no doubt you can find your stylish soulmate there.

We can't wait to share our feature with you, so keep checking back here for details!

Froggie Friend!

Aw... we had a cute little froggie come visit us today at the shop! :)

He was hanging out in our plants. But don't worry - he's safe & sound back outside in the fresh air! But he sure made our morning bright! :)

We'll miss you, froggie friend!

Composite Roses

Ooo..... brides, what do you think of carrying a composite rose for your bridal? We think they're gorgeous!

A composite rose consists of several roses put together to create the effect of one giant rose. (In this smaller case, three.) They remind us of the rose in Beauty & the Beast! What do you think of using them as your bridal or for your lovely bridesmaids? :) 

Composites are starting to make a comeback. You can create them out of several different flowers - gladiolas, (known as glamelias in this style), calla lilies, cymbidium orchids, carnations.... 

They can be labor intensive and therefore can be a little more costly, but the effect can be stunning! What do you think?
