Our first wedding!

June 18, 2011 By bbfloraldesign Leave a Comment

First off, I want to say thank you to and congratulations to Tara and Jay for allowing us to be a part of their big day. All the best to them and we hope our flowers made their special day a little brighter. It was a rough weekend, but we managed to pull through and it was a great learning experience for both of us (stupid ribbon). Onto the creations.

First, bouquets. We had roses, calla lilies and cymbidium orchids.

We also made (lots) of rose or cymbidium corsages and boutonnieres.

Then, the aisle arrangements. Our supplier came through with live phalaenopsis plants. These turned out great and we really liked how they look.

Thank you Tara and Jay!

Wedding flowers!

After a year of work, we are finally getting geared up to enter our first season of summer weddings. So exciting!

Picked up some wonderful purple phalaenopsis orchids (the purple ones) today, as well as some green cymbidium orchids, some roses and white calla lilies. Stay tuned to see what we come up with!

Tiffany blue

December 2, 2010 By bbfloraldesign Leave a Comment

In October, we made a bouquet for a pre-wedding shoot — the green and white bouquet featured in our Green Bouquet — Busy October pt 2. We were contacted by ORA Wedding Photography not long after requesting for a bouquet and boutonniere for the same couple on their wedding day. The bride did not have any specific flowers in mind, however, she did request that the colours be white and Tiffany Blue. Now for some males (the other half of Blooming Bouquet), had no idea what Tiffany Blue looked like, so here is a picture for reference.

We couldn’t think of any flowers that grew naturally with this shade and neither could our wholesaler so we found the flower with the closest shade and choose to use a ribbon that was also similar in colour.

Our end product was this:

Fall Bouquet

November 26, 2010 By bbfloraldesign Leave a Comment

Back in October, we were contacted by MAP Design Group regarding an engagement photoshoot that required a bouquet. The only instructions given by the couple was that there would be no white flowers — given such an opportunity to be as creative as we wanted, we set out for the wholesalers to decide which flowers would ultimately end up in the bouquet.

Since the photoshoot took place in fall, it was decided that the bouquet should reflect that, hence we choose flowers that were in the hues of orange and yellow.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Green Bouquet – Busy October pt 2

November 17, 2010 By bbfloraldesign Leave a Comment

Beautiful Bouquet for the Beautiful Bride

Here is another bouquet we did for a wedding photo shoot in mid October. We used green and white and tried to keep things clean, playing with an asymmetrical design. In here are stargazer lilies, green hydrangeas, daisies and mums. Thanks to ORA Wedding Photography for letting us tag along on their photo shoot.

Pro Tip: Not that this happened to us, but whenever you are large lilies such as the stargazers, make sure you don’t get the pollen on you because they will stain (especially white wedding dresses) rather quickly. So make sure that the stems are removed!

Christmas Bouquet – Late October

November 13, 2010 By bbfloraldesign Leave a Comment

A mixture of red roses, orchids, red snow berries, carnations, glitter and evergreen; the end product reminds me of a mini Christmas tree. And of course, thanks to Annching Wang for taking these pictures.

Winter White – A busy October

A couple of weeks ago we had our first studio photoshoot and it was very exciting! Of course, special thanks to ORA Photography and photographer, Annching Wang — her eye for design is amazing. So visit her at Parker+Muse

The core components of this bouquet are white roses and white cymbidium orchids accented with white feathers, silver eucalyptus and other greens. This bouquet can be easily made into a Spring/Summer wedding bouquet with a few adjustments.
