Purple Theme Wedding at The Garrison, Garrison, NY on May 25, 2012

The ceremony space at The Garrison has SPECTACULAR views! Our company, Engaging Floral Designs, provided all the flower arrangements.  We decorated the bittersweet arbor in greenery with a center arrangement of lilies, mums, snapdragons, stock, and other greens and accented the structure with curly willow in bloom.
 
The aisle markers were very sweet - we designed little bud vases with purple and white toned flowers such as mums, lisianthus, stock, and roses with an anemone accent. After the ceremony, the bud vases were used on the cocktail tables!



The bouquets did double duty as personal flowers and then afterward as adornments for the guest book table once the bridal party no longer needed their bouquets!  The bride's bouquet had roses, calla lilies, stock and peonies in it.  The bridesmaid bouquets had lisianthus, roses and stock.


The walk down the aisle is just amazing... our client opted to have the aisle lined with lavender rose petals to complete the look:


On to the reception, all the tables in the room featured low centerpieces so that guests could enjoy the amazing views that The Garrison offers.  The arrangements were all purple and dark purple tones with flowers such as anemones, roses, stock, purple and white hydrangea, and greenery:

What a lovely wedding for such a sweet couple - so wonderful to work with you both!

A Grand June Wedding at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs The aisle markers that were used at the ceremony which took place at St. Theresa's Church in Trumbull, CT were repurposed to decorate the mantle and cocktail tables at Trump National Golf Club. It was a good way to get additional use out of the pieces site. Onsite we had replenished these pieces with beautiful hydrangeas, dahlias, roses, bells of ireland, lisianthus and other delicate flowers in the blue/creamy white/green color scheme. The sweetheart table was adorned with a lush draping arrangement of the same flowers including white stock and ruscus. There were 20 centerpieces in total so it was plenty to do half as low arrangements and the other half as tall candelabra centerpieces. It saved the bride some money to do some low instead of all high. The containers/candelabras were rental pieces that the florist provided and setup. In the foyer, a large escort ...

Orchids and Curly Willow Arrangements

Here's a simple look for those that are not big flower fans but want to still have pieces that make a statement in a room with very high ceilings.  Trumpet vases with white dendrobium orchids, oncidium yellow orchids and tall curly willow branches.

Alternative Wedding Guest Book Ideas That Serve As Functional Home Decor After The Wedding

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and what better way to cherish those memories than with a creative guest book alternative? Sure there’s always the Polaroid Photo DIY Guest Book, but let’s take the ideas up a notch! Here are 5 unique wedding guest keepsakes that capture the essence of your special day while also having a functional purpose to enjoy for years to come: 1. Anniversary Wine Bottles: Anniversary wine bottle guest books are a unique and romantic twist on the traditional guest book concept.

Guest Book Bench: Have guests sign a wooden bench or stool with markers. After the wedding, place the bench in your garden or entryway as functional seating with sentimental value. 3.
