New Feature! 11-6-10 Brittany Sharp and James Goldsmith

This wedding can best be described as simple and beautiful! I loved how the bouquet pops from the white dress and when you check out the feature on our website you can see how the bridesmaids bouquets pop off the red dresses.  Loved!

New Ideas for Mom's!

Miniature bouquets otherwise known as nosegays are the new thing!

This is so fun! It's a handmade wrist corsage and it's hard to tell by the picture but the bottom part is all gemstones and is soooo sparkly! LOVE!

On the left is an over the shoulder corsage.

Love these new ideas from our shows the last few weeks. What do you think?

A Floral Tribute to the Toledo Museum of Art

I hope everyone had a chance to make it out to the Toledo Botanical Gardens for the Art Festival last weekend. We could not have asked for a better weekend!  My school, The Natural Science Technology Center was on hand to provide parking and I could not believe the turn out!

The Garden Club Forum or the Toledo District asked Beautiful Blooms by Jen to create a Floral Tribute to the Toledo Museum of Art and we chose the Glass Pavilion.  Here was our design that was on display in the Conference Center. We hope you had a chance to check it out!

The whole thing : )

The fire piece features an arrangement of carnations, miniature gerbera daisies, birds of paradise, freesia and miniature carnations.  It is meant to represent the fire that molds the lump glass into an outstanding piece of artwork meant to capture and reflect light.

The water piece features an arrangement of carnations, luna carnations, blue delphinium, green trichelium, purple limonium and miniature carnations.  The soothing cool tone colors and the splash or iridescence are meant to represent the water used to cool and set the final glass shape.

Meghan and her mom made these at the Toledo Botanical Gardens!

New Ideas for Flower Girls and Ring Bearers

We went up to Detroit last week to see Sharon McGukin, AIFD, AAF, PFCI.  She is a fabulous designer who is known for her fabulous wedding designs.  I have to say, I wanted to completely change the ideas I had for my wedding after this show!  Check out these fun ideas for flower girls and ring bearers!

I can't stress enough that Beautiful Blooms by Jen is the only florist from Northwest Ohio when we go to these shows and we learn so much!  Please call today to order flowers from the only Ohio Certified Florist in Northwest Ohio. 419-517-8821

This is a great way to make the traditional ring bearer pillow super fun and get your colors on there!

I can just imagine the little boys swinging this around and having so much fun as they walk down the aisle!  Especially perfect for outdoor weddings!

Cute little flower girl basket.

Love this little hydrangea pomander.

To the right is a fun little pomander/purse fun thing for a flower girl to carry. And it's a great way to get that perfect blue in your wedding!

JEN'S WEDDING VENDORS: )

I have so many vendor friends now that it was so hard to choose who to ask to do my wedding!  There are so many fabulous vendors that would have done a great job.  People have been asking, so here it is!  The biggest question I get is who is going to do your flowers?  Beautiful Blooms by Jen of course!  Meghan and Molly will be helping, along with other florist friends who have been gracious enough to offer their help!  It's going to take a team that is for sure!

Flowers: Beautiful Blooms by Jen

So excited for these brand new candelabras! And PINK candles!  (They will be the right size for the wedding I promise)

These were a favorite out of mine in California and I'm bringing them to Ohio!  They are made of wax and work great as a vase or with a candle inside it glows!  There is one more that is taller than these two as well. They come in any color!

Love these bright pink cubes.  All of the above will be available for rent AFTER my wedding : )
