May Wedding at The Carlton Woods

 This post is all about the romance of weddings. What a BEAUTIFUL wedding at The Club at Carlton Woods. With flowers literally everywhere the entire clubhouse was transformed into a beautiful romantic oasis for the couple to celebrate their union!

The ceremony decor consisted of a square arch covered with white hydrangea, peach and yellow roses, various green vines and accents of curly willow. 

The aisle was accented by a white aisle runner, rose petals on either side and these beautiful iron shepherd hooks with open lanterns, each holding a beautiful arrangement of flowers including white hydrangea, peach roses, yellow miniature garden roses and accents of curly willow.

 The reception was truly stunning. A focal table of clustered bouquets of all the flowers used throughout the wedding slanted in tall glass cylinders was eye catching!

 With 4 different styles of arrangements the table centerpieces were incredible... WOW!

 It was a pleasure to provide stunning florals for a fabulous bride. We love what we do and are grateful for the opportunity to share with you!

Mother's Day at The Club at Carlton Woods 2013

Mother's Day at The Club at Carlton Woods is always a party! With soft shades of lavender, white, pinks and yellow the club house was filled with a soft romantic feel.

The table arrangements were done in a traditional style in pedestal vases with two tone pink and white roses, statice, miniature garden roses, and my favorite, lavender stock.

 Over at the Fazio club house the arrangements were a little more contemporary with lavender tulips and liatris, white stock and lavender roses. These beauties were created in a clustered more contemporary style.

 Ahh, the buffet arrangements are always beautiful pieces of art! Incorporating the existing colors and blooms into a fabulous arrangement that spirals up this beautiful iron trellis, you really get a feel of being in an english garden where everything is soft and naturally beautiful.

Mother's Day 2013

The month of May at The Blooming Idea is always busy. It's the best kind of busy, with lots of great reasons to celebrate. The end of school, prom, beautiful weather, and my favorite, Mother's Day!

 Here are a few of our favorite Mother's Day arrangements. We used lots of tropicals this year including baby birds of paradise, shampoo ginger, anthirium, dendrobium and cymbidium orchids.

 Most arrangements tend to fall in the softer color scheme, with lots of purples, whites and pinks. The picture on the left features a contemporary design with purple mocara orchids, lavender roses, white lilies and beautiful dar green tropical leaves. While the photo on the right is a fun design of all different shades of pink roses in the shape of a heart and a carnation teddy bear in the center, yep you heard right, that's all flowers, even the bear!

 Another fun thing we do is incorporate personal objects into arrangements, like this wreath of hydrangea, peonies, and roses around the bottom of the eiffel tower! Or of course if you really want to knock Mom's socks off you can send her a topiary of solid roses!

Mother's Day was fabulous. Thank you to all our loyal customers. We appreciate your business and allowing us to do what we love most, make beautiful arrangements for you to enjoy!

April Weddings at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center

 This bridal bouquet was created in a traditional nosegay style with white roses and accents of white wax flower. The bridesmaids bouquets were a mixture of lavender, purples, whites, and hints of blue. Made with stock, roses, wax flowers, delphinium and lisianthus.

 The boutonnieres for the gentlemen were made with myrtle and blue dendrobium orchids tied in black satin ribbon, while the mothers and grandmothers wore wrist corsages with miniature garden roses in white.

 The reception was held in The Glass Ballroom at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. With blue dendrobium orchids hanging from the ceiling and contemporary centerpieces with floating orchid blooms submerged in cylinders the room was amazing.

The ceremony was held on the Forest Deck. The gazebo decorated with 5 floral centerpieces spread out along the gazebo face atop a layer of white stretched tulle.

Dinners at The Carlton Woods

 The Club at Carlton Woods is a lovely place for any event, from intimate dinners to lavish receptions, the accommodations are wonderful. The centerpieces above were made with vivid two tone roses, blue hydrangea and orange tulips, and green cymbidium orchids with accents of greenery.

 These long and low arrangements sat on a long dining table and added just the right amount of color and personality to the dining room. WIth hot pink miniature garden roses, snap dragons, white hydrangea, green hypericum berries, and copper wire accents the arrangements were a perfect blend of texture and color.

Each week The Club at Carlton Woods has us create a beautiful arrangements for their entry table. This weeks was so beautiful I couldn't resist posting pictures of it. Made with orange roses, blue delphinium, green bells of Ireland, yellow mocara orchids, and green cymbidiums it was breathtaking!

April Weddings in Review

 This beautiful lavender and white wedding was held on the Forest Deck at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. The Reception was held in The Glass Ballroom at the Resort as well.

The combination of white hydrangea, babies breath, lavender spider mums and pixie carnations created a beautifully soft arrangement, adding to the romance of the day.

Easter 2013... part 3

 The next two events are the easter dinners at The Club at Carlton Woods. Each club house has a different theme and color palette. This year at Fazio we went with a more contemporary design with groupings, clusters and arching loops .

 With a simple with and green color scheme and pops of traditional easter colors these beautiful arrangements truly stood out.

 I love the clustering effect in large arrangements. Caging is also really fun too, you can see that here with the yellow roses and blue hydrangea under a web of turquoise accents.

It is amazing what a few talented designers can dream up and what our amazing team at The Blooming Idea can put together in just a few days.
