It was an honor to sponsor this years 2013 Bridal Elegance wedding showcase at the Harriett Himmel Theater in City Place, West Palm Beach.  Brought to us by Palm Beach Broadcasting, Sunny107.9, WRMF, and WIRK radio stations. 

At the show, we were able to show case our floral designs including six bouquets that were used for the fasion show by wonderful models.  Also, our decor rentals are pictured.  Everything you see in the photos, we rent.  All crystal products, vases and decor.  And lastly, it was and honor to light up the theater, in and out, as you will see in the photos.  Enjoy!

It’s time for the 2013 Floral Trends and picks for this year.  We’ve done the research, spoke to other professionals, and connected with some wonderful people, all to bring yu what we feel will be this years “What’s In and What’s Out”.   As a progressive, forward thinking team of designers, we are always wanting to stay ahead of the pack, while giving you, the client what is new and fresh.

Everytime we release the yearly trends, sometimes people say, “Why is that out of style? I like that.  Can’t I have that at my wedding?”  Here’s the thing, trends are just trends.  It doesn’t mean you can’t have something that’s not “In” anymore.  Just remember, your event is about you and it resembles who you are as a person.  Trends or no trends, let us design something from “Your” heart to your table that will speak volumes of what your style and personality is.  With all that said, here we go…

What’s In- The English Garden: With Bride’s still in love with vintage but moving away from what we call the “weedy” informal floral décor of the last few years, they’re craving flowers that feel opulent but still natural. The look currently causing hearts to flutter evokes the feeling of flowers fresh-picked from the garden, but of a great estate. For one wedding, we’re using old brass vessels with a gold look, and the flowers are hydrangea, garden roses, and ranunculus. The look is lush arrangements”

What’s Out- Little Bud Vases lined up down the table with one flower in them.  Sorry but it’s time to move on.

What’s In- Peonies: Drumroll for the flower of the year- the peony. Soft, lush, romantic, the peony is the most requested wedding flower for two years running now. But with the bloom available for only two months out of the year in some parts of the world, be sure to speak with us.  We’ve been known to get them regardless of season.  However, we recommend a backup. Gerilyn Gianna recommends the garden rose, which has the same delicate petal feeling but is much more readily available.

What’s Out- Super-Tall Centerpieces: placed in the center of every table. “It’s been overdone,” say Gerilyn.  Let’s create some height and texture to the room by designing tablescapes that are different but non-competing with each other.

What’s In- Garland: 2013’s brides swoon for garlands-garlands with ribbon, garlands with paper, garlands hung from chandeliers. “We just did a wedding with one long center table and a garland of peonies and hydrangea running the full length of the table. It was 48 feet of full flowers.  Of course, green garland is nice to for a ceremony out doors around an arch or canopy.

What’s Out- The Orchid submerged in a vase of water:  That type of design with orchids just does not have the “of the moment freshly picked” look, says Gerilyn.

What’s In- Cascades: A vintage bouquet silhouette will make a big return, we predict. Expect to see cascades coming down aisles everywhere this year. The look is long and slender, with lush fill flowers such as (no surprise!) peonies, tea roses and a few sweet tendrils of vine.

What’s Out- According to Gerilyn, Bouquets Heavy On The Greens will be a no-go in 2013.  Time to get rid of greenery and use real flowers.

With that said, we’d love to hear your thoughts.  What else do you see alot of?  What would you just love to see go away for a long time?  Comment below.  We’d love to connect!
