Fun with Foliage!

Gone are the days of using standard leather leaf. Foliages of all types play a primary role as a main element in modern design. Foliages such as ti leaves, aspidistra, alligator foliage, calathea, maranta and alocasia offer unique patterned leaves that can be showcased inside, lining the vase with a unique pattern offering intriguing value versus a plain clear vase and criss-crossed stems. Our signature look is to fill a clear vase with a layer of brightly colored stones and then line the vase with foliages such as those pictured below.

Now is the time for Flowering Branches...

Yes, flowering branches is one more sign we're nearing spring. The re-awakening of the trees as they come into spring blossom. These delicate blossom decorated branches incorporated into a fresh cut flower bouquet offer a glimpse of what is to come. Many varieties ranging from cherry, peach, plum, apricot, prunus, quince and forsythia. My personal favorite is the bright salmon pink quince. Although the burst of yellow from the forsythia is a close second.

Moon Series Carnations

Moon series carnations are a favorite for us. Florigene is the company responsible for genetically modifying these carnations to achieve remarkable purple shades. 4 shades of standard carnations are available starting with the darkest called moonvista, then moonshade, moonlite and the lightest moonaqua. They also have several shades in mini carnations, such as moonshadow, moondust, moonique, moonpearl, moonvelvet and moonberry.

No matter how many purple wedding flowers pictures you look at, it seems that each one reveals a striking image of beauty and splendor. Dark purple wedding flowers exude luxury, similar to the sensation conveyed with dark purple velvet curtains.
Purple is a mix between hot red and cold blue, which creates a sense of balance. Historically, purple is often associated with nobility and power.
