Planning your holiday table

Planning a holiday celebration? Whether an intimate dinner for two, or a big family or work gathering, now is the time to consider your flowers. Here's some info to get your planning started.

For arrangements you want to consider your desired size, shape, color and style.

Size and Shape: Where will your flowers be placed? Will it be seen from the front only, such as when used on a buffet or mantle? Or will it be seen from all sides such as a dinner table or entryway?

A small arrangement is perfect for a bistro or cafe sized table. A standard centerpiece works well for a round table seating 6-10 people. If your table is rectangular, a standard centerpiece works well along with other accents such as candles or if serving a family style dinner. Or if you have less table decor or prefer an elongated shape, a long and low design is a good alternative.

Color and Style: Next consider your color palette. Do you want a traditional fall or winter palette? Or will you match a theme or your decor? Determining a palette will help you with your flower choices.

Finally, what is your preferred style and how would you describe the look you want? (Is your style elegant, rustic, natural, fun, modern, vintage, etc) Do you have any specific flowers you would like used? Or perhaps you might prefer a "designer's choice" custom design created for you

Ready to order or need further help? You can stop by either location to speak to a designer and place your order. For events requiring specific needs or larger quantities, we recommend placing your order in advance, if possible, one to two weeks prior to event.

Wedding style: table greenery

A popular trend this year has been using cut table greenery and accents in lieu of or in addition to table centerpieces. Shown here are two examples of table greenery designed with light floral accents. Hardy greenery such as silver dollar eucalyptus, seeded eucalyptus, and italian ruscus work well either alone or in combination with other mixed greens. Considering cut table greenery or garland for your event? Speak with one of our bridal consultants to learn more about your table options.

Textured Corsages

Whether celebrating a wedding, anniversary or prom, a beautiful corsage is an elegant way to mark the occasion. The examples shown above are designed with lots of textures and detail. Adding texture to a design often helps define the floral and add interest to the overall look. The examples above use a variety of textures from foliages, pods, berries, even succulents.

Succulent boutonnieres

What goes better with a bouquet with succulents? How about a boutonniere to match! Succulents continued in 2016 to be a popular wedding and event accent. Shown here are some succulent boutonnieres using echeverias and seasonal accents. Interested in an airplant boutonniere? Click on the link below.

Flowers to wear

Prom and wedding season has begun, so we’ve been busy creating lots of corsages and boutonnières. Shown here are just a few in some favorite blooms.

Big and Bold arrangements

Sometimes, it just makes sense to go big. Large scale arrangements are typically used for events, weddings, parties and memorials. (And special occasions such as milestone birthdays!) Larger blooms add impact, flowers such as open roses, hydrangea, dahlias, peonies, callas are great choices for large scale arrangements.

Color study: whites and greens

An always elegant and classic combination, whites and greens are one of the most requested color palettes for florals. This woodsy centerpiece consists of white and green hydrangea, goosenecks, garden roses, yarrow and fern accents.

Classic Spring

Have a wonderful collection of pottery or glassware? A fun trend for events and weddings is the use of varied sized vessels. This event used lovely vintage white milk glass in different style and sizes. The design was a classic spring garden look with tulips, ranunculus, sweet peas lisanthus and accents of jasmine vine. The use of warm coral added a real pop to the creamy mixes.

Fun with veggies!

A recent event called for a bountiful harvest theme. These clever arrangements were mixes of vegetables, herbs and seasonal accents. Turnips, artichokes, salad greens, beets and carrots added a whimsical touch and were a fun diversion from your typical winter product selection. 

Welcoming Autumn

The fall season has officially arrived. We’re loving the autumn palette, with its warm and rich shades. Fall foliage, pods, berries, and grasses are adding interest and texture to our mixes.
