Showing the warmth of a dear friend...

"It took my breath away...That truly was our experience, upon seeing the ballroom at my daughter's wedding reception. Michele T. embraced the vision my bride daughter had for her wedding and ran with it!! She spent many hours with us getting all the details together and listening to the bride's wishes and ideas. She handled the floral arrangements to our... rehearsal dinner and the church ceremony and the wedding reception, all at different locations, with impeccable professionalism. All the while, showing the enthusiasm, confidence and warmth of a dear friend. No need for concern or anxiety when your event rolls around. She is in complete control, handling everything perfectly. We were so impressed and thankful to have used her for this important event. She is the one to use, no doubt about it!" 

Thank you, Julie J.

Wonderful Client!

Wedding Channel Review:  "Wonderful florist! posted 10/10/2011...Michele was my florist for my wedding. She listened to what I wanted, made great suggestions, adhered to my budget and superseded my expectations! I had an outdoor ceremony and she tested the ceremony decorations to see if they would stand up the record breaking heat we were having. She visited the wedding site and was able to give suggestions that would compliment the scale of the spaces, background colors, and wedding colors."

Thank you, Adriana.

Classic Black & White at Villa Antonia

I attended a classical, elegant wedding at Villa Antonia this past weekend.  The beautiful, blissfully happy bride wore white with sheer organza ruffles and carried white & cream roses/garden roses while her bridesmaids wore cute, black cocktail dresses and carried red roses with green leaf accent.

Adorable flower girls dressed in tulle sprinkled petals down the aisle.  The guys looked very Bond in black tuxes with either white or red boutonnieres. 

Decor:  The ceremony arbor was swagged and draped with white chiffon, further complemented by a white aisle runner.  White chairs sporting black chair ties awaited guests.

Inside the Italianate villa, the decor was refined and elegant.  Tables wore black linens with white toppers and were graced with three different centerpieces.  The first was a gorgeous tall arrangement of almost one hundred red roses.  The vase of this arrangement was accented with red spray orchids, red petals and light blue water.  The blue was further picked up by the blue crystal drops hanging from each of the tall vases.  The table was lit by three tall cylinders, each with a black ribbon and floating white votive.

The second arrangement was of medium height with a green leaf, black ribbon and topped with an arrangement of red roses.  The final arrangement was similar in nature, but in a square vase.  All tables were accented with sparkling votives.

The cake table complemented the decor.

Fresh.

The flowers for this wedding imparted a fresh, springy feel--so welcome on these hot, summer-like days.

  

 

Attired in purple cocktail-length dresses, bridesmaids carried white lilies, white stock, deep purple carnations, peruvian lilies and yellow roses.  Though a bit fuzzy (shot w/cell phone), this picture shows the soft interplay between yellow and white accented with a deep, rich royal purple.

 

The bride carried purple hydrangea, variegated peruvian lilies and white lilies.  (I loved the way the petite lilies peek out from amid the large white orientals.)
