What’s that Flower? A Series with Soirée Floral – Part 4 – Orchids

June 2, 2015

Today’s flower series is all about orchids. Orchids come in different varieties and a rainbow of colors and today, you’ll see a few varieties in this post. What you’ll also see is how surprisingly versatile yet classic orchids can be. Alone, orchids are very modern, with their structured petals and somewhat “stiff” appearance. But, mixed with fluffy blooms, orchids add interest, a sense of luxury and lots of texture! You know us, we love mixing and matching textures – and we are always excited with a bride or client loves orchids! Don’t think you love orchids? This post might change your mind! Enjoy!

Throw Back Thursday – A Surprise Wedding at the Wauwinet Inn with Soirée Floral

May 28, 2015

Looking back on this wedding makes us smile… This couple surprised their guests on what was supposed to be their rehearsal dinner at Toppers’ with a wedding! They dined on the deck, overlooking the ocean with table designs fit for a true Tuscan dinner. We designed their centerpieces with tons of texture – the dahlias, the roses, the artichokes, the lotus pods! We loved getting to incorporate these rich colors and balance them with interested textures and shapes. And just when guests thought the night couldn’t get any better, it did.

After dinner the couple had another surprise! Guests were shuttled to the ‘Sconset Casino to find themselves in a “Paulie’s” a art deco speakeasy! We transformed the Casino into a luxe art deco lounge complete with furniture and lighting! Guests were in awe of the night and danced the night away at “Paulie’s” – a night, we’re sure, no one has forgotten!

Enjoy!

What’s that Flower? A Series with Soirée Floral – Part 3 – Dahlias

May 26, 2015

Dahlias… boy do we love’em! Spring and Fall come around and we can’t help but use all the dahlias we can! Like roses, these come in an array of colors and several varieties. The fan favorite is the café au lait dahlia – those ladies are beautiful! In the spring we love the white, peaches and pinks! Oh! And don’t forget the lovely corals! In the fall we love to use red and burgundy when we can, they just have so much dimension! We’re kicking off this week with another one of our flower series post, and this one, you won’t want to miss!
