Mother’s Day

leighflo — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:06:31 +0000

Spice up your flowers for mom this year with some inspiration from our Pinterest board!

Add grass for a little flair, or use some funky blooms such as protea or succulents! It’s okay to stray away from the pinks and purples. Combinations like oranges and greens really pop to create a bright and fun arrangement.

Ten Tips for Planning Your Wedding Flowers

leighflo — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:12:59 +0000

If you are planning on getting married this year, congratulations! You’re about to experience one of the most exciting and joyful periods of your life. While your big day might be months away, it is not too soon to begin planning for your wedding flowers.

When to Start. Ideally, four to six months before the wedding, and after you have chosen your dress and your bridesmaid(s) dress color, give us a call to schedule your initial consultation. We’ll spend an hour together gathering ideas for your personal flowers, ceremony decor, and reception decor.

Set the Budget. What is the budget for the entire wedding? According to the theknot.com, the cost of an average wedding in 2011 was $27,800. Wedding flowers typically account for 7-15% of the wedding budget. Contact us today to receive a general pricing guide for flowers (sales@leigh florist.com)

One way we can help you to save is by using local, in-season flowers for your arrangements. South Jersey’s local growing season runs from April to November.

Gather ideas. Clip pictures from magazines, use Pinterest, bring your idea folder with you to your flower appointment. The more photos, clippings, or swatches the better to get an idea of the overall look and style of your wedding flowers.

Colors. We encourage bringing dress and color swatches, pictures, and other inspiration with you to your appointment. Having trouble choosing colors for your bridal party? Pick up paint swatches at your nearest home store; it’s fun to experiment with different color combinations!

Fragrance. Let us know if you or any members of your bridal party have any allergies so that we can choose low or no-scent flowers that won’t cause anyone to sneeze while walking down the aisle!

Review Meeting. Two to three months before your wedding, give us a call to schedule a review meeting. We’ll review your entire wedding order with you, including the delivery schedule, designs, and any additional pieces you would like to include.

Preserve Your Bouquet. After your wedding, we can professionally preserve your bouquet along with your invitation, photos, and dress swatch in an attractive wood-framed shadow box.

Give us a call to schedule an initial consultation!

Tulips as Wedding Flowers..Yes!

leighflo — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:28:51 +0000

Tulips say Spring! In wedding bouquets and centerpieces they can really sing!

Thanks to the top bulb growers in Holland there are now so many colors and bi-colors available. All I can say is.. Gorgeous!! These spring flowers can add an affordable yet cheerful element to your spring wedding flowers.

Although tulips span the globe and some varieties have become common, the specialty tulips that we

offer are locally grown in New Jersey and the varieties are far from ho-hum.

The Van Dyk Brothers grow the finest tulips in their greenhouse in Millville, New Jersey. These premium tulips have bigger blossoms, longer and hardier stem, and brilliant color. As with any locally grown flower they are always fresh! Try our Van Dyk Tulips while they are in season from February to Early May!!

The Knot Trends Recap

leighflo — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 21:14:32 +0000

We love networking with The Knot. We have met such wonderful brides thanks to their help! They have a special “B2B” section on their page where they talk about the latest trends and give some really awesome tips that help with wedding organization and planning.We stumbled across this little number that we thought our readers might enjoy:

TRENDS RECAP FROM THE SPECIAL EVENT

01/29/2013 · by Rebecca Lyn Williford · in Events, News, Trends, Uncategorized. ·

Laura Cave, Director of Trade Marketing at The Knot, spoke at The Special Event 2013 in Chicago on what’s hot in reception trends this year. Read on to find out what trends your brides will be on the lookout for in the months ahead. Television and the silver screen have always played a role of their own in guiding fashion and style trends – and this year is no different!

20’s Style – Between Boardwalk Empire and the highly anticipated film The Great Gatsby, you can be sure that prohibition-era trends from the 1920’s will be prevalent. This includes a return to old Hollywood glamour, traditional place-settings – even designs with an Egyptian influence (huge in the 20’s!)

English Romance – Downton Abbey is still going strong, and English romance with sweet details and a royal undertone will be at the forefront of many brides’ minds. Show her soft lace and flowery décor.

Modern Edge - Don Draper’s board room isn’t the only place boasting a 1960’s modern style. Mad Men is the perfect inspiration to draw from when organizing a reception with a mid-20^th century modern twist!

Homestead Elegance - A slightly more chic offshoot of the “ritzy ranch” from past years, homestead elegance brings the magic of a black-tie affair to a more organic, relaxed and outdoor atmosphere. This is one of the best ways brides can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Fresh, local food – is one way brides will incorporate hometown favorites into their wedding reception. They want to treat their guests to everything their area’s farmers markets and restaurants have to offer by keeping it local!

Guest Entertainment is, as always, a HUGE part of a couple’s big day! They’ve planned this event for months now, and want to make sure their guests have a blast. Whether it’s with a photo booth or customized party favors, the goal is to make the event memorable for everyone in attendance.

Call us today to find out how you can tie beautiful blooms into your unique wedding style!

Succulents

leighflo — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:46:01 +0000

Botanically known as Echeveria the Succulent Rosette or Hens and Chicks are great texture to incorporate into your wedding flowers. The color hue can vary from lime to gray with a hint of plum purple. They range in size from 1” to as large as 4” across.

And Here’s Some Good News… They are super cool and available all year long!!

We have been placing these in bouquets and also to scatter into a table design or on a wedding cake… instead of the usual roses. For weddings this element will add a unique flair!!

If you dare to be different for your wedding flowers…this could be what you are looking for!!

Succulents can make such beautiful centerpieces! Try clustering them in little dishes or loose on the table. Add some elegant illumination to your event with votive candles.

A pair we have come to know and love is succulents and moss! They can create a lovely tablescape!

Call us today to schedule an appointment; we love talking succulents!!

Peonies for Your Wedding

leighflo — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:51:04 +0000

Peonies and garden roses…Oh MY!!! How I love them both!!

You really cannot go wrong with these luscious blooms, full and bold yet feminine and pretty!!

Depending on Season and availability both flowers will create a stunning look for bridal bouquets, bridesmaid’s flowers. Let’s be serious; they are perfect for any floral design for ceremony displays and reception flower decor.

Choose your style: Are you a naturalist at heart? A purist? Or dream of a little glitz?

You will most likely fall into one of these design styles: vintage, Hollywood glam, modern, simple or English garden.

Once your style is chosen these flowers are flexible and really PEREFCT because you can dress them up with either garden accents, crystals, rhinestones or designed simply.

Peonies are a bit more delicate.. As all late spring blooms are! In New Jersey and Philadelphia their time to shine is Early June!! While you can get these flowers in spurts at certain times of the year from Israel and Holland the price will increase. Supply and demand during these off seasons will make them range from $15.00 – $30.00 per stem. So… If you are a late May or early June bride take advantage of the local gems that are typically priced around $8.00-$12.00 per stem. They are absolutely worth it!! They remind me of a perfect slice of cake…Delicious!!

Garden Roses: They are a bit sturdier in warmer conditions in contrast to their friend the Peony and can be found throughout most of the year. Their prime time is June thru October!! With and incredible petal count these beauties will give the same look as peonies. Also the upside to using garden roses is they come in beautiful colors – shades of Pink, Reds, bold Yellows, butter yellow, Blush and Ivory. Garden roses are grown mostly in California due to the perfect temperature inland of Southern California.

If you ever have had the chance to visit a garden rose grower… It’s absolutely stunning!!

Call us today to discuss garden roses and/or peonies for your wedding day!
