Wedding Trends for 2017

Summer is almost over, and with it, many brides are getting read for their 2017 weddings. This upcoming year is bringing some interesting new trends, which has caused an opportunity for florists to be more creative than ever!

COLORS EN VOGUE

Gone are the days of having only the choice of white or Ivory for your wedding dress. Designers have been slowly but surely bending the rules of dress design for a few years now. Whether it be the sassy hot fuchsia to ivory ombré dress that Christian Siriano rolled out for his 2017 wedding collection, or the blues and blushes seen in the Jenny Packham line, color is surely a rising trend.
With this being said, it gives brides more options than ever to make their bouquet as unique as their dress. Planning on walking down the isle in chic blush lace number? Why not accent it with a lush bouquet of white garden roses, silver brunia, peonies and seeded eucalyptus. Strutting a stunning robin's egg blue couture piece could mean accents of succulents, green roses, bear grass, and white orchids. The possibilities are endless.

UNIQUE AND CHIC

With the proper mechanics, there are endless ways to make your wedding truly unique, and have it reflect your interests, hobbies and personalities. The modern bride wants her wedding to be like no other, and with our creative designers, we can help you bring that vision to life.

Say you share a love of craft beer or wine. Don't get rid of those empties! Clean them, making sure to leave the labels in good condition. Use them as bud vases for cocktail hour or even a few on each table filled with flowers as centerpieces. Or, save your wine corks, and we'll use them to fill clear glass containers under the arrangements. 

Have you traveled together and gone on amazing adventures? Why not have each table reflect one of your destinations. Stylish tropical flowers for your trip to Hawaii. Yellow roses for that crazy weekend in Dallas. A graceful arrangement of hydrangea and roses for that week in Manhattan. You'll have flowers that tell your story, and make your reception one everyone is sure to remember. 

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

A large part of choosing your wedding flowers is making sure to work with a florist who is well versed in weddings. Our team of designers have done thousands of weddings. We know that our experience can make your wedding planning experience a whole lot easier. From start to finish, our designers work with you to make your vision come to life. As we like to say, we've been making wedding dreams come true since 1913. Call 518-374-4414 to book your consultation today.

Valentine's Day Made Easy!

The new year has begun! For us, that means preparing for Valentines Day. It's always our goal to make ordering the perfect flowers an easy process. This being said, here's a few tips that will make ordering a lot easier.

Consider the recipient's personality and taste
By default, most people automatically assume that you'll send roses. While many love and appreciate this classic tradition, there are other options. If the person you're sending to is more of a free spirit, with a laid back vibe, consider a non traditional arrangement. Below are a few options from our Teleflora collection:

Consider The Logistics Of Delivery
As you may have guessed, Valentine's Day is one of the busiest delivery days of the year. If your special someone is at work, plan to know when they leave for the day. We can't guarantee any specific delivery time, as there are many stops. However, know that we will deliver the flowers before they leave for the day. This year the 14th falls on a Sunday. Consider sending flowers to their workplace on Friday, as it will be an early surprise that will be sure to make them smile!


Have Realistic Expectations
If you're unsure of what to order, you can always order over the phone or in person with one of our design staff. We are seasoned pros, so we can easily tell you what arrangement will meet your needs, and still be within your budget. Keep an open mind. Sometimes we have ideas that will surprise you! For instance, you can do a gorgeous mixed vase that the designer will make especially for you, or even wrapped flowers if that special someone has a favorite vase at home that you know they would love to fill with fresh flowers.
Each arrangement is made to order. While we make every effort to come as close as we can to the photo displayed, each designer will design a bit differently. Also, sometimes flowers come in damaged, or are unavailable, and a substitutions will be made. However, rest assured that the arrangement will always be filled to equal or greater value.

We've been in the floral business for over 100 years, and are family owned. We pride ourselves on excellence in design and customer service. We are excited for a new year of serving our customers. Here's to a Happy Valentine's Day (and 2016!).
