Dramatic and wild with cascading greenery and vines with exotic flowers mixing with everyday garden fare, this piece was designed as a focal point for an antiques booth at the prestigious Rhinebeck Antiques show, May 29 - 30.

With purple, lavender and white... a fantastic color combination no matter the weather. The classic combo is sure to brighten spirits and cause all to celebrate the marriage of Marian and Patrick at Onteora Mountain House, who opted for this coloration for its classic and timeless look and its casual elegance-- like blue jeans and a white shirt. How can you go wrong?

Diana wanted a spirited mix of lively colors for her florals for her marriage to Brady. Orange, yellow, peach, pink, blush, burgundy with some white thrown in... the effect was a strikingly refreshing color palette that called attention to the personable and effervescent bride on her special day.

Eloise and Christopher opted for a intimate family and friends type wedding at a Saugerties, NY Air B&B deep in the woods. They were looking for a simple, understated affair with hors d'ouevres only -- no sit down dinner, so flowers took on another role with several arrangements to be used as decor throughout the premises along with cocktail tables. Vases were various odd lot gold containers and the flowers were a glorious splurge of boho inspired varieties in both pale and luschious colors.

A foraged cluster of spring things... branches from bushes I know not the names of, red bud, hellebore, columbine, and tulips from the Elderberry garden. All together, they make for a inviting and memorable springtime bouquet for a lavender loving, natural bride.
And, it won't be long now.... 2021 weddings start up on May 7. It's been so long. Here's to a fruitful and flowerful Elderberry wedding season.

Rhododendron and red buds here at Elderberry say that Spring is here for sure. Casually arranged in a vintage ironstone pitcher atop a very cool slat top lazy Susan table from E2 Elderberry Antiques. Follow on Instagram.

Sunshine yellow daffodils from Elderberry's gardens are clustered simply in an ironstone vase.

Can weddings be far behind?
A sprightly, springly collection of spring flowers-- forsythia, andromeda, tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, ranunculas with spray roses and hydrangea make for a lovely seasonal bouquet.

Hey there. It's been a while since I've posted anything, in part because of the wedding situation due to the pandemic and in part because we've been busy reinstating Elderberry Antiques, dubbed E2 (Elderberry 2) from years back to keep the wolf from the door (Just kidding) during all this.

Do not fear, Elderberry Flowers is alive and well, booking weddings and looking forward to starting up this spring.

In addition to a carefully curated eclectic room at Elderberry, we have antiques in both the Saugerties and Coxsackie Antiques Centers.
And, we've ventured onto Instagram with (and for my wedding flowers). The reason I'm telling you all this is to INVITE YOU ALL, if you are on Instagram, to FOLLOW US on both sites as another way to keep in touch and up to date with all Elderberry's goings on.

I'm sure that you will find the shop details pictured here and the shots on Instagram of interest and, as the wedding season begins again to take root, follow along to see my new work on the floral Instagram site, as well as here on Facebook.

I'm looking forward to creating the very best wedding flowers for all the brides who have entrusted their floral memories to me.

Please take a look at both of our new sites and follow along, and tell your friends and family about us as well.

Hope you'll join us on our journey.
Many thanks, Jim & Arnie
