Another beautiful wedding weekend, in Pittsburgh!! We had the opportunity to setup in the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial and Museum Hall. Gorgeous! We kept with the white color palette and designed the arrangements, bouquets, personal flowers, and sweetheart table. And don't forget the accents of gold. Such a classic look!!

We will be closed Monday 7/15 for my grandmother's service. I will return all messages on Tuesday.

We can't get this wedding out of our head from this past weekend. Mary and Zack had the most beautiful day. They chose the white, peach, pink and magenta color scheme(you can't go wrong) the colors pop!! For the ceremony at Holy Family Church in Minersville Pa, we decorated the aisle entry with two designs on our gold rented stands, attached a cluster of fresh Silver Dollar Eucalyptus with a white bow to the pews, and placed flowers on the altar on either side of the tabernacle. After the ceremony, we then repurposed all of the designs to the reception at Capriotti's Catering in McAdoo, Pa.
At Capriotti's, as you entered the venue, our flowers accented the Welcome sign, the beautiful photos on the mantle of Mary and Zack, and all of their generations of love table. What an entrance!!

Then as you made your way into the gorgeous ballroom at Capriotti's, there were 18 guest tables, three designs. One design was using our gold rented stands with an arrangement of Hydrangeas, variety of Roses, Lisianthus, and Eucalyptus. The second guest table design had three glass cylinders (our rental) with white floating candles, and three mini budvases (also our rental) of magenta, pink, peach and white flowers with Eucalyptus and Ruscus to accent. The third design was a gold compote (our rental) with fresh Hydrangea, Lisianthus, variety of Roses, and Ranunculus.
I can't wait to see the photos from the day. These few pics I took do not show the true beauty.

Thinking about this wedding we did from last June at Vault 634, Allentown. How fun to incorporate the ostrich feathers, pods, and dangling crystals!

*we have another wedding booked there next year with a different style, stay tuned*

Let's talk about flowers for jackets! Did you know we offer quite a few options? Whether you're the artsy lapel flower person, the pocket square boutonniere, or the magnetic kind, we have you covered. We still do the pin variety but not as often.
The magnetic boutonniere comes with the stems plain, a rustic option would be wrapped in twine, or the more formal wrap is ribbon.

We offer options because no two events, weddings, proms, etc are ever the same. Let's be artsy, fun, or plain together!

*if you choose the pin option for the boutonniere, I promise not to stab you with the pin*

Let's talk about your guest tables! Just look at how including various textured and shaped fruit(grapes, pears and peaches) to the setting adds to the details. Our team designed this tablescape with multiple size arrangements in gold compotes and crystal budvases. The candlestick holders were crystal to accent the peach tone tapers throughout the table. Pears were adorned with pearls and placed on the gold chargers with the sage velvet napkin tucked beneath.
For flowers we incorporated a few varieties of roses including Shimmer, Quicksand, Sahara spray, Stock, lovely Carnations, and of course finished with Poppy pods 😍

Another busy week for us, yesterday was full, and our calendar continues to fill up. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!! 💓
Yesterday, mid-day, Benigna's Winery hosted a planter workshop for a small group. We made a colorful jewel tone annual planter that could be used at the entrance of your home or on your patio.
Then, last evening, we had the chance to collaborate with some pretty incredible ladies. Adrian and Amanda hosted an influencer event "Sips & Snaps Soiree" at the Gray Apple Market. We provided the flowers to accent all the other beautiful details they covered!

This past weekend we did a few centerpieces for a very special baby shower, woodland theme. We were given the theme, ideas and implemented the design. We used Sword fern, light blue delphinium, spiral Eucalyptus, fresh bunny tail, and Orlaya in our mini vases. Then added fresh sheet moss to our wooden slabs with loosely placed silver dollar eucalyptus as a runner.
