Rock the Wreath!

In recent days the wedding of super model Kate Moss has brought a buzz to the flower shop. The buzz you ask? Hair wreaths. In the released photographs of her wedding, she is shown with many small children wearing fresh flower hair wreaths. This made us all start talking. These gorgeous wreaths are not only meant to be worn by children, but brides as well. With the spring wedding season just around the corner, more brides should think about a head wreath. The boho look has found its way into mainstream clothing more than ever and even now into bridal wear. You don't have to be a hippie to become a flower child.  


This week's blog is showing you how to rock a head wreath and still look polished and put together. Also, we take a brief look into the history and symbolism of wreaths.  Knowing what it is about them that is so interesting makes wearing one all that more fun.


We hope you enjoy the blog and we hope to see more of you rock the wreath this wedding season!


Best,
Chelsie

It's fair to say they rock the wreath!

Soft peony Bride's Bouquet

All the tiny details matter. ALWAYS.

The garden tent at Wine and Roses in Lodi, was set up with 

paper lanterns for the traditional tea ceremony.

They swayed in the light breeze.

Soft pink Carnation flower balls hung down the aisles.

Decor in the garden for the tea ceremony.

Welcome to the reception.  Please find your name and take a seat!

Great idea!

The groom made the two wooden pieces to represent where he and his lovely bride have come from.

This is one of our most prized exclusive rentals.
The vintage three-foot tall iron birdcage is not only covered with 

beautifully earned rust and betina, but, the name cards of all of the guests.  

With each name removed, a piece of the interior of the cage can be seen. 

 At the final removal of the last card, a lovely bouquet 

and interesting did-bits are displayed for all to gaze upon.

Succulents, moss, vintage silver, books, and sea shells 

give this entire table scape a sense of relaxed beauty.   

 It supplies colors and textures to entertain the eye.  

Rather than the average arrangement,

 a play on every day items placed strategically 

amongst romantic and wild flowers creates a pairing 

everyone can appreciate.

Beautiful back shot.

The colors chosen for this wedding were beyond perfect.  

The pairing of soft mint and light pink 

were a breath of fresh air and 

unique to design with.

Notice the camera man in the background.  

He traveled with his team from Seattle just for the event.

He was a friend of the bride and groom,

 and created some outstanding videos!
