Modern & Edgy Wedding Flowers

Hello friends, I’m back to discuss the next up in the expo lineup:

Onto the “Summer” look we created for the bridal expo a couple weeks ago. I went with a more modern, sleek look for these designs. While expensive, orchids can make such a huge statement! A single bloom really is enough to draw attention.

The Bouquet: A small hand tied bouquet of green mini cymbidium orchids, green tea roses and bear grass loop sheltering. The stems were wrapped in black organza ribbon and accented with black and green pins. Small in size, big in personality!

The Bout: A green mini cymbid with a bear grass loop accent. Simple, stylish. Love it!

The Corsage: Ok, so I need to be straight with you guys. This is my favorite corsage I’ve made to date. I know I mentioned it in my last post… but I have to say it again: there are SOOOO many great products out there now. Why go with the ordinary elastic wristlet of the 80’s/90’s when you could use one of these beautiful bracelet style wristlets instead? This black metal cuff wristlet is so modern. I just adore it. Accented with black and green ribbon, and a couple green mini cymbidium blooms it truly is a piece of floral jewelry. And another confession: I loved this corsage so much that after our wild wedding/expo day (madness involving an entire evening into morning creating flowers for 2 weddings and an expo, getting 2 hours of sleep, followed by madness delivering flowers for said weddings, and setting up a full expo showcase) I wore it out to dinner. Yes, I’ll admit it, I’m a flower junkie. I couldn’t let this beauty sit in the car. I proudly wore it out to dinner. What is the special occasion, people asked. Oh, no special occasion, this corsage is just GORGEOUS! LOL.

And lastly, The Centerpiece: The centerpiece was a grouping of three cylinders in varying heights. Each cylinder was filled with water, and orchids were suspended in the cylinders anchored to a floating candle on top. Talk about a great way to get the stunning look of beautiful orchids but keep costs down. And again, with our fantastic vase rental program the costs are even lower!

And there you have it. Our modern, sleek summer style. Up next: Fall
