Floral Obsession: Anemonie Wedding Inspiration
One of my absolutely favorite flowers is the anemonie and I wonder why I don't get many brides that want to incorporate this beautiful flower in their wedding decor. Anemones are so pretty and somehow a little vintage looking, also said to represent anticipation and luck. Here is my subtle way of changing some of minds....

Absolutely Fabulous Weddings' 2012 Forecast
After much research, our highly anticipated 2012 Wedding Forecast is ready and I can't wait to share this information with all of you. The newest wedding trends for the upcoming year range from the look of your wedding to the flowers to the food to the favors....everything. Let's get started.
CATEGORY # 1: THE LOOK
Color schemes have got back to the classics. Right now it's the nudes - oyster greys, champagnes, nudes, pinks, pale gold and creams. With this said, patterns are getting bolder as colors are getting softer. Linens are heavier and more textured.

Luxe Candelabras in any material are in, so.....out with the chunky pillar candles and in with the tapers. If you are having your ceremony outdoors, hanging chandeliers make a wildly romantic statement.

CATEGORY # 2: THE FLOWERS
The flower of the year is the peony, which that is no surprise here but other fabulous flowers for next year are garden roses, ranunculus and frilly carnations, white mini calla lilies and of course the orchid.

The age of the single centerpiece is over. 2012 will be all about collections of containers, flowers and candles on one single tablescape.

Natural is still new. Terrariums, which are glass domed arrangements of pebbles, flowers, succulants and found objects such as birds nests and shells are seen everywhere.

CATEGORY #3: DRINKS
This years three words are the perfect 3 categories to choosing your bar menu.
ARTISNAL: Specialty drinks designed for your day are never out but the ingredients seem to be a little more intricate. For example, ingredients like frothy egg whites, elderflower liquor, and unexpected garnishes such as candied ginger or herbs. Signature drinks always a sophisticated edge to any reception.

TASTINGS: Plan tasting station style bars. For example one could be a tequila station and the other could be a scotch station with different selections of these types of liquors.

CUSTOM ICE: As you may know, the quantity and style of ice can either make or break a cocktail so offer up shaved ice, crushed ice and oversized cubes for different drink varieties.

Wine pairings for dinner. 2012's meal isn't just about what's on your plate, it's also about what's in your glass as well.

Category #4: CAKE COUTURE
** Cleaner lines and details and of course sugar flowers never go out of style.

** Cake silhouette. Right now, each tier is looking different. Round tiers with a hexagon shape thrown in there or even five inch layers mixed with two inch layers are popular 2012 trends.

Category #5: FAVORS
When it comes to favors, if they're not edible, don't bother. Candy tables, breakfast snacks, bagels or donuts in boxes are all sure to be a huge hit.

All Things Rainbow
Rainbows symbolize good fortune, happiness, and hope. So it's no surprise that the ROY G BIV palette has become an increasingly popular way to add a bright, festive touch to weddings. But pulling off a stylish (not cheesy) event that reflects the color spectrum can be tricky—we suggest keeping it casual, crafty, and playful (and avoiding tie-dye at all costs).

Florist vs. Floral Designer: What's The Difference
The term "floral designer" may sound like a more pretentious way of saying florist. But there are differences between the two designations. A florist generally operates from a storefront, where he sells everyday arrangements in addition to special occasion flowers; a floral designer probably works out of a studio and focuses solely on events. A florist can make a deliver centerpieces and bouquets, while a floral designer may become involved with lighting and helping you choose rental linens, furniture and other decorative pieces to create your reception's overall mood, in addition to crafting unique centerpieces and bouquets for the big day.

Flowers In One Of Summers Favorite Shades: BLUE
More and more I am finding that brides are opting for blue flowers for their weddings and working with this color has been my single most exciting trend in weddings right now. Blue is a hot color right now and it can make for a beautiful theme for your wedding decorations, but brides assume that flowers in shades of blue are scarce. It's true that blue varieties aren't as abundant as some other bridal favorites, they do exist.
When it comes to blue flowers, it's important to remain flexible. Incorporating soft shades of grey or champagne will soften the blue palette with elegant sophistication. Blue florals are most abundant in spring and summer, so I suggest you choose one or two at most for your base.
Here are some blue varieties to consider:
Blue Cornflowers: cute, small flowers that look like they were just picked from a field.
Blue Delphinium: have height and are fabulous for aisle arrangements, altar arrangements, and buffets. These come in a range of shades, from light to dark blue, and even a rich purple.
Blue Eryngium: eye catching flowers that will bring a unique texture to your arrangements.
Blue Hyacinth: smell delicious! But do appear more purple than blue.
Blue Hydrangea: available year round in light blue and seasonally in a strong deep royal blue. When it comes to bouquets though, hydrangea should be the only flower used, as they wilt easily.
Blue Iris: a beautiful flower but can appear more purple than blue.
Blue Viburnum Berries: these are a fun, textural element that comes in the most fabulous shade of navy blue. These look even better shiny so have your designer spray "leaf shine" on them.
Tweedia: a sweet small flower that can be used as an accent piece in an organic type arrangement. These blooms can also be used in a boutonniere, but keep in mind that this is quite fragile.
Veronica: a deep shade of blue (almost purple) and a fun, spiky element that can bring a nice pop to your arrangements.
It is possible to order blue-dyed flowers, including dendrobium orchids, blue roses from Holland and blue carnations; however, my recommendation is to go with a natural choice.
