Modernist
Strong
architectural shapes paired with a minimalist sensibility. This
style is fun to build around, and can incorporate any color palette.
For the less 'traditional' bride, the sky's the limit when it comes
to creativity.

Elegant
Classically
White, with a conservative feel. Rich china and linens paired
with an abundance of silver. Waterford
crystal is a nice addition, but your money would be better spent
on Calla Lilies, and Viburnim. An extremely popular style, that
can be updated by using a different color palette.

Victorian
Lots
of Pastels, with draping vines and flowers. An excess of beauty,
overflowing with roses, and their pretty
petals. Perfect for any outdoor Ceremony, this style is extremely
'feminine'. Rich color palattes also work very well when incorporated
into this design.

Timeless
Inspired
by the 'arts and crafts' period from American History. This style
is clean and simple, yet slightly
rustic. Especially suited to 'sites' with lots of exposed dark
wood, and brick. Stay with simple floral combinations,a maximum
of two or three different kinds of flowers.

Winter Wonderland
This
charming and magical style is achieved by combining bare branches
with lots of white flowers,
and little sparkling lights. Great for December weddings.

Enchanted Forest
Endless greens, and flowers
drape and wind across every surface. Panels of living wheat grass,
and emerald moist moss are used as base and fillers. Candlelight
works well, and we favor whites, and pastels, but you can experiment.

Merriment
All fun
and glee! When you choose this syle, you are embracing the celebratory
aspect
of
your 'day'.
Options are endless, as long as you remember to forget the rules
and bring the good cheer. Bright colors are a must, and expect
abundant laughter,
and dancing at your Reception..

Country Garden
Light
and breezy, and 'Oh So Pretty'. These flowers look as though you
could have gathered
them
yourself.
Great for outdoor Ceremonies, as these delicate arrangements
could carry you off, all the way to Martha's Vineyard.

Fairytale
Every
girl dreams of a Fairytale Wedding when she grows up. Immersive
greens are combed through overflowing
blossoms
of every kind in every
corner. Sweet pale pink tea roses add a child like quality, while
paper lanterns and cut-outs bring the magic into full bloom.

Simplicity
Sometimes less is
more. Especially when you enjoy clean, crisp lines, and the beauty
of simplicity.
The repetition of fresh stems, and evenly sized blossoms come together
in bold contrast to the fresh white linens that adorn your tables.
We recommend equally plain china, paired with any color scheme except
white.

Stylized
Artistry
and form are brought together within a conceptualized design. Extremely
sophisticated,
this theme
pairs well with modern architecture, museums, and high-rises.
Favored by a select few, you would be shocked by the impact and
beauty that
this style imparts to your Wedding. Subtle and stunning, your
Day will be transformed into an unforgettable Event.

Classic Whites
The most traditional
design available. This 'tried and true' theme always delivers to
expectation.
It
is impossible to go wrong with white roses at your wedding! And if
you really can't make up your mind, we highly recommend this Symphony
of Whites. Add in Champagnes, and tiny jewels to the perfect
bouquet, and elegance will await you at the Alter. |

Decadence
When you just can't get enough beauty,
fragrance and color...Opulence may be your only choice. Spring and
summer are
best served by this style, and don't forget the old saying,
'Too much of everything is just enough.' We couldn't
agree
more. |

Natural Beauty
Nature is remarkable
in all it's splendor, and bringing that beauty to your Wedding Day,
will
enchant
your family and friends for years to come. Floating gardenias,
a rock garden, and tiny wildflowers lend a sense of newness entwined
with fresh beginnings. Calm and tranquility, will most certainly
be in your future when you embrace this theme. We love soft purples,
and baby yellows, and don't forget some bamboo for luck! |

New York
The city has a style
all it's own. This is the perfect choice for winter, but don't let
all
of
the white
callas fool you. Tulips and more tulips make the day, and we all
know how many gorgeous colors they come in. Try twisting the stems
in a clear container to add that special something. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
Extravagance
One of our personal
favorites, this style requires perfection in palette combinations.
We recommend
that
you request the style, and then let the experts assemble some different
choices for you to look at. Lots and lots of flowers are bound tightly
together to acheive the full richness that spells an extraordinary
Ceremony and Reception |
