Secret Ingredient…

/2 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

Sometimes I think I am so lucky…. I have a job where I get to work with my great friend Dorelle! I get to work with pretty flowers! I get to create artistic things and usually we are working on something happy and full of joy. Best of all though, we get to meet lots of people!

I have always been an artist and I’ve worked in many mediums. (Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, flowers are a medium). When left to my own devices I like to try something new or put colors and flowers together in fun patterns!  As consultants though, it is our job to listen to what our client wants and make that vision a reality. Give us a picture and we can make that happen. Explain your vision and we will work hard to bring that picture in your head to life.

Occasionally, there is the  client who really doesn’t know what they want and has absolutely no vision for their big day.  Sometimes we have the DIY client, who calls our Wholesale division and needs some guidance.  That is where Dorelle excels. She is the idea girl. If someone who calls needs some help, she will spend the time helping them bring their vision together. In our Design division I am sure that is why we work together so well. Whatever she dreams up, I will try!

Our families and friends have said we should be in a TV reality show because we play off each other so well. I’m not sure how entertaining for the masses that would be, but for us when working on a project it certainly makes the day more enjoyable. I know it is clear to our clients that we love what we do and we like working together.  Flowers, Friends & Fun. I think those are our secret ingredients and is there a better way to work than that?

Aisle runners Custom made for you!

/13 Comments/in , , , /by

We’re so excited here at bridesnblooms.com. We found an amazing vendor with an even more amazing product!

Chic Unique Inc. is a company that specializes in custom made aisle runners. What a fantastic addition to your wedding (or any other occasion where you want to be the “center of attention”).

Chic Unique Inc. creates the most beautiful, handpainted aisle runners, unique to you. You get to pick the colors, the style, the ribbons, the verbage, and, best of all, what you will do with it after you walk on it.

It almost seems a shame to walk on such a beautiful work of art, but, hey, that’s what it’s there for. Once you have come down the aisle, you can choose to reuse the runner in various places at your event.

Beth recommends using it for a backdrop behind your sweetheart table, and then, once you return home, have it shortened and framed, or have a pillow made, for a keepsake that everyone can admire for years to come.

This is one of those items that “not everyone and their sister” will have. Be unique, be yourself!

So, if you are looking to step up the look of your ceremony and have a wonderfully beautiful keepsake for years to come, check out www.chicuniqueinc.com I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Now, have a wholesale flower filled day!

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

Hi everyone!

I have another fantastic vendor to introduce you to. I bet, unless you are a celebrity or a very high end bride, that you thought you couldn’t have a custom sketch of your wedding gown. That’s right, a true artist, skilled in fashion design will sketch out your gown, just for you!

What an amazing keepsake for you! You may not wind up keeping your actual gown, but, for all eternity, you will have a sketch of the gown you wore.

Is that not totally cool?

Here’s what Heather needs from you…

-Pictures of your dress-you can email or if you only have hard copies you can mail them
Any specific details you would like to focus on (if this is beadwork you must make sure it is clear in the pictures)
-She will also do a front view or a back view, or can do both for an extra fee
TIME:
-You should allow 2-3 weeks for the sketch to be completed and in the mail to you (so if this is a gift, please contact Heather at least a month in advance)
What you will receive :

-Either an 8×10 or an 11×13 picture of your sketch

Please Note: Heather’s sketches are an artistic interpretation of your dress as she sees it…..It will not be an exact replica.

You can reach Heather and check out some of her other masterpieces on her website.
