How the American Brides do it......

So, I am that obsessed with flowers that not only do I play with them all day!!  I then talk about them of an evening with my friends in America.  Anyway, weddings are always a big focus 'cause we love to explore our creative side, it's what we do best. 

 I always notice that the American brides puts a lot of focus on her flowers in their venue, whether it be a tall design with the WOW effect or a low cube with just some really beautiful blooms.  From Orchids, to Roses, to Gerbera and Molucella.

I wanted to share some of the American trends for the English brides to look at so I kindly asked three florists if they would mind me sharing their pictures, just to give us English a taste of what our friends over the pond are doing.

I would like to thank Cathy from Sprout Flowers in Worcester, Adam from Belvedere Flowers in Philadelphia and Brandon from Enchanted Florist (cool name by the way) in Ashland in Oregon.  Brandon also does great websites for florists and other small to medium business and I must say, he does a fabulous job.  If you need a website, please check out his site www.epicflowers.com

Anyway, now for the pics..... Please leave some comments if you have any...


This is a selection of vases with different blooms in.  I particularly like the cylinder vase in the centre with blooms of Dendrobian Orchids.  The lighting in this picture is fabulous, don't you think?


And, what about this one.  A mixture of green roses with foliage and berries.  So fresh and inspiring.


What can I say about this one??  Just WOW!!  Imagine walking into your reception with these on the tables, the impact would be enormous...


This is one of my favourites I must say.  The impact of a uniformed row of cubes with luscious red roses is fantastic...Red Roses, Anigozanthus and much more..


More Red, fantasic peonies and roses and even the foliage has accents of Red.  Gorgeous, don't you think?


How about this for an E shaped table?  Classic and Elegant with just a few blooms.  Beautiful.


Simple and elegant but you cannot deny that this is all about the flowers, pure indulgence.

And, I had to take this picture when I seen it.  Mostly because I wanted to eat it but look how the flowers have made this cake look fabulous.....



What can I say... I love flowers, they are my life, they make everything look beautiful and if you want to make your wedding stand out from the crowd, you have to let them be a big part of it.

Carolyn had a clear idea of what she had in mind for her wedding flowers…  White for the bridal flowers and a splash of orange for the venue!!
I think judging by the email she sent us, we kind of got it right.  Read, look and enjoy.   
Congratulations to the happy couple… thanks for letting About Flowers do your flowers

This bride wanted a wilder look in a shower bouquet so we used ivy and grasses to give that feel.  We then made some complimentary bridesmaids bouquets.  A matching combslide really finished off the look…
