In Bloom New York – Floral Special Events Floral inspirations and design!

Wedding Salon Event 4/12/2010

In Bloom New York had the pleasure of participating in the Wedding Salon two weeks ago at the Roosevelt Hotel.  We were very excited about this event because it was a great opportunity to meet new brides and vendors in the New York City area.  The Wedding Salon is a great event for a florist to showcase their ability because of the opportunity to design a cohesive table with all the components: chairs, place settings, centerpiece, etc.Immediately, we knew that we wanted to keep the design whimsical with a garden-like feel and to let the gorgeous flowers speak for themselves.  The main centerpiece featured a lush mix of green & white Hydrangeas, pink, white & buttercup Ranunculus, hanging green Amaranthus, white & ivory Garden Roses, mint Roses, fuchsia & light pink Peonies and sprigs of mint.  We arranged these full flowers in an antiqued white urn set atop a pedestal covered in moss and twisting wisteria branches.  Silver glittered birds adorned the centerpiece; we also perched them on the bride and groom's chairs along with Italian Ruscus vines, continuing the garden theme of the table.We set the table for six using gorgeous vintage-inspired floral plates and gold-rimmed chargers.  We chose glassware with gold accents and ornate flatware that complemented the colors of the table beautifully.  Stephanie Somodi from Designing the Most Inviting Day created a phenomenal table card along with seating cards that we placed in front of each guest's plate.  We loved working with Stephanie who grasped the concept of our design in her creation.The table also included tea lights of varying heights along with sterling silver & mercury julep cups filled with Peonies, Ranunculus, Jasmine, Lilac, mint sprigs and Garden Roses.Thank you again to Stephanie Somodi for the beautiful handmade stationary.   Special thanks to Brad Schrager Photography for your beautiful images of our table!
