Italian adventure

My husband and I were lucky enough to be able to attend our dear friends Faye and Michael's wedding in Italy back at the start of October.  The wedding was held in the most glorious agriturismo in the Valpolicella region.  Faye, a very creative girl, had planned and made everything down the bread bags for the dinner tables (made from of dish cloths, they were so cute!).  But Faye asked me to do the flowers.  She ordered them, gave me some inspiration pictures of what look she was going for and left me to it!  Here are a few pictures of the results!

We had the most amazing time at the wedding.  It was such a honor to be able to do what I love for friends.  Thank you for letting us be part of your special day and weekend.

Katherine and Simon, Maine

After some delay, here are some pictures from Katherine and Simon's Maine wedding held at Wolfe Neck Farm.  The farm provided the field and Katherine had to work out the rest.  We were thrilled that Katherine decided to go with us for her out of state big day (especially as it meant that we got to have a Maine lobster roll while we were there!)
We were a traveling flower shop that weekend.  Living out the back of our the car we did all the flowers, the table top paper good, wishing tree and photo wall to name a few.  We were really pleased how everything came together... and hope that the bride and groom thought so too.

Anna and Jourdan's BK Wedding

A few weeks ago we had a great time working with Anna and Jourdan. The ceremony was held on a rooftop in Park Slope then everyone jumped on the ferry over to the Java Street Pier in Greenpoint... HOW FUN! 

The reception was at Paulie Gee's...a great little Italian restaurant on Greenpoint Avenue. 

Jourdan and Anna wanted fun and easy flowers that would coordinate with their grey and yellow color palette, and bring in an autumnal feeling. 

We were able to do this by using ranunculus, billy buttons, garden roses, succulents, dusty miller and kumquats.

In addition to flowers, we also provided the wooden stumps and table name cards. Anna and Jourdan named each table after a borough of NYC, which was a very fun idea. We also decorated the tables with pears and crab apples. 

The wedding cake was made by a family friend, Liz (author of a great cooking blog). We helped to assemble and decorate this tasty and cool looking cocounut cake. 

We had a great time working with the ladies, and also Jourdan's mom Josiane.

Lisa's Wine Inspired BK Wedding

T&B had a great time helping Lisa and Ralph with their wedding day flowers. The couple's ceremony and intimate family reception occurred at Scottadito Toscana Restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

We were inspired by the restaurant's wine cellar dining room and the Bride's love of golden pheasant feathers. We mixed dusty pinks with brown accents and gold pheasant feathers to create unique bouquets and centerpieces. We also created vases out of wine bottles by cleaning, cutting and sanding the edges of used red wine bottles.

Each place setting was accented with a gold plate charger and place card decorated with feathers and a sprig of herb and greenery. 

The result was a uniquely inspired fall wedding decor. 

The Bride look beautiful and her wedding was uniquely gorgeous!

Thanks!

Birthday Wreaths!

A little overdue, but earlier this summer T&B was proud to make a few flower wreaths and head pieces for Kerry, a fantastic musician from our very own Williamsburg Brooklyn.

It was Kerry's birthday and she wanted to have a stunning wreath to coordinate with her stunning vintage dress. T&B also created several flower head pieces for Kerry's friends, so all the ladies could strut around in style during the birthday celebration.

Also, check out Kerry's band page: The Beach Project. We had a great time listening to her music while crafting the fun flower arrangements!

Love,

Woodland Greenery Arrangement

During a visit to a family house in New Hampshire, I gathered a bunch of woodland flowers and greenery. It was great to be able to walk through the woods and be able to pick all these amazing little flowers and ferns.

Enjoy!

Wedding Flower Wreath

A few weeks ago T&B had a great time making a wreath for Bride Britta. The bride requested a delicate and white flower head wreath for her NYC wedding celebration.

The wreath and Bride Britta both came out looking stunning!

Home grown hydrangeas

Nothing is more beautiful than a simple bouquet from the garden!
These gorgeous hydrangeas are fresh from my Mother-in-laws garden (her garden is brimming with bushes ladened with blooms).  Put in a vintage vase and voila, a simple yet elegant display!!

How does your garden grow

As this is our first summer with the Connecticut T&B garden, we are eager to see what we have growing in the garden already.  This weeks discovery was a big patch of Shasta Daisies.  Pretty, tall and great either by themselves or in a bouquet.
Can't wait to see what else pops up as the summer goes on!

Pretty in pink

 A few weeks ago we were trying to help one of our brides decide on what to do for her centerpieces.  I loved this so much that I thought that I'd share!  Enjoy!

Andrea and Bruce's wedding at Full Moon Resort

Last Sunday we had the pleasure of making the flowers and cake for Andrea and Bruce's wedding at the beautiful Full Moon Resort in upstate New York.
The bride and groom wanted a wildflower, freshly picked from nature looked (which we love!), and worked perfectly with the outdoor ceremony and the amazing barn that the reception was in.

We hope that you had a wonderful day Andrea and Bruce - we were happy to see that as the cermony was about to begin the grey clouds that had been hanging around all day broke and the sun shone through! : )

Congratulations to them both, and we were so happy to be able to work with them!

Thanks!

An English Wedding

On Friday 20th May my Mum got married at home in England.  It was a very low key affair.  But no wedding is too small for the bride to have a bouquet!  Made from flowers picked in my Mum and her now husband John's garden, the bouquet was simple yet did the job perfectly.  It was a beautiful day and I was so very glad to have been there.

(Tea in the garden followed the ceremony. The cake was wrapped in my cake bunting!)

Congratulations Mum and John!

V&M Wedding - Ceremony Flowers

Tashi and Bobo made gorgeous flowers for Vanessa and Martin's May wedding at Columbia University's Faculty House.

The bridal bouquets and ceremony flowers consisted of gorgeous white, pink and orange blooms. They created a very lively and gorgeous color palette that worked well with the champagne bridesmaid dresses.

The Brides bouquet was made up of peonies, garden roses, spray roses, freesia, pitcher plans, calla lilies and accented with lambs ears greenery.

The bridesmaid bouquet featured roses, garden roses, spray roses, freesia, stars of bethlehem, calla lilies and ranunculus. 

                                     




















For the ceremony we made aisle garlands, made the ceremony arrangements and prepared and laid out the VIP reserved seating cards for immediate family and bridal party.

We were able to get a few sneak peaks at the ceremony while setting up, and it looked amazing!

We can't wait for the professional photos to come in!

Thanks!
