Jen and Kyle's Wedding Ceremony

Thank you to everyone who helped dry off chairs!

The Aisle

The arch- now available to rent from Beautiful Blooms!

For those of you who haven't heard... It was a gorgeous day in the morning of my wedding day. About 3:30, right in the middle of bridal party pictures it decided to start pouring... It didn't stop until 5:30 which was when I was supposed to walk down the aisle.  When I looked at the radar I could see there was going to be a break in the storms and I was holding out for that little amount of time! We told everyone to hang out in their cars and as soon as it stopped raining we were able to walk down the aisle! As soon as the ceremony was over and we got inside, it started to sprinkle and turned into a downpour again. Thankfully most guests were in their car by that point!  I am so happy that we were able to have the ceremony I had dreamed about OUTSIDE, but we were so close to moving it in! Thank you so much to everyone who toughed it out and came and to everyone who helped with last minute flowers and drying off chairs!

My advice to outdoor brides: Make sure you have a back up plan! Advice I heard yesterday at Bridal 101 at the Pinnacle from Brooke from Bee for the Day is put a phone number on your invite for in case of inclement weather. You can make a message for the day that says "it's beautiful see you at ____, or "change of plans, we are going to be ____ at ____ time."  Great idea! My guests had no clue what the back up plan was!

So much has happened in the last year! We moved in behind Bumble, hired our first full time employee, became a full service florist instead of just doing weddings, bought a house in downtown Sylvania, moved into the new house, and now Jen retired from teaching and is working full time as well! We could not have done it without every one of you who support us!  Thank you so much!

Elite Events Visit

So on spring break last week I finally had a chance to meet up with Nikki from Elite Events who is helping me with my own wedding design concept and invitations.  I had such a fabulous time and am so excited for the big day to be here now!  I could not have figured everything out without her.  Since I had been to her studio she had completely updated things and look what I found!  Beautiful Blooms by Jen was ALL over!

We made this gorgeous centerpiece for a bridal show back in January and let them use it as a display now. These great vases can be used for a variety of looks and we rent them to our customers.

This is another centerpiece idea that Elite Events came up with, we made and then they are using as display.

Here is the bouquet that matches the centerpiece.

And the other bouquet that matches the red and teal centerpiece.

This picture was taken by our friends at JP Photography during a fun concept design shoot at Toledo Botanical Gardens.

This was a fun one we did together 2 years ago!

We love our friends at Elite Events!  Call Nikki at 419-690-8300 to set up a complimentary consultation about wedding coordination, concept design and/or graphic design.

4-30-11 Weekend Wedding Preview!

I cannot believe wedding season is finally here! We've done a couple so far this year, but even though I'm getting married in July we had to do my bridal shower last weekend since we are booked every weekend until my wedding!  LOVE MY JOB!

This bride is the daughter of a lady who worked out at the gym I used to work at and Cathy became a great friend because of our love of flowers!  We did the flowers for Cathy's son last year in Columbus and we can't wait to be a part of her daughter Amy's wedding as well!

Rasberry gerbera daisies.

Assorted shades of pink roses and all white for the bride : )

New Feature! 8-28-11 Ashley Brandeberry and David Black

Ashley was a gorgeous bride and I absolutely love the orange underneath her dress! LOVE IT!  Wish I would have found a dress where that would have worked for me now!  Check out these fun bouquets of dahlias, tulips and mokara orchids!

Love the pink mini callas!

Lots of glassware that Meghan has been busy packing up!

Big wedding this weekend! We've been super busy with Valentine's Day and getting ready for this weekend.  Looking forward to working with Elite Events, JP Photography and Cherry Lane Cakes! 

I can't believe how organized this wedding has been even with there being so many changes due to their hall. Yet another reason to hire Elite Events!  Nikki had everything all taken care of before she even told the bride! No need for the bride to stress!

10-2-10 Andrea Miller and Ryan Masters Wedding Flowers- Toledo Wedding Florist

Man my camera changes the color of things! This was all super fun oranges!

I've been wanting a bride to do this for a while! Each bridesmaid carried a different flower and then the bride carried a mix of all of them. So fun! The little dahlia one was for a junior bridesmaid.

Love flower girl baskets!

Arrangements for iron stands on either side of the alter.

Loving the fall colors!
