Wedding Flowers | Françoise Weeks European Floral Design. A wonderful and seemingly carefree mantel design...perfect for Christmas or, with a few touches of blue, 4th July or even a Memorial Day event.
Captured this picture from Preston Bailey event designer for the wonderful centerpiece using branches in white and dozens -or hundreds of artificial butterflies...A toned down piece in terms of size would make excellent, and relatively in-expensive feature or focal designs at an event.

I have just pinned a different picture taken at the same wedding with flora designed and executed by Bellafiori. This picture is a good way of seeing the "after' with the flowers...now imagine the room (not the view) without the flora! Quite a difference -flowers are an essential at all weddings and events, setting the atmosphere & mood like nothing else.
This picture is from event florist/design company Bellafiori in the COlorado area, I believe. That's some color palette -and it works! Apparently inspired by the film "What Dreams May Come" for a wedding -and, visually, a most inspiring choice. The aisle pieces feature hydrangea, hanging amaranthus, hybrid delphinium and gladioli amongst others.

Wonderfully eclectic. Colored brunia in pots with green button and spider Mums. Check-out the truly inspiring floral work on the Bornay blog.

From JPM Designs blog of Aug 2010. An arresting color combo of pink and chartreuse...but then chartreuse does that and works amazingly well with so many colors: for example try Black Magic roses with Bells-of-Ireland where the chartreuse of the Bells adds dimension to a dozen rose arrangement by making the entire piece "pop".

By Clare Day Flowers in, I believe, Canada. Wonderful mix of flora: excellent and unusal to see clematis; hydrangea, limonium, trachelium, thistle and some apples. Serves all manner of occasions - home -think entrance perhaps or with the fruit, dining room; party; wedding piece.
Wonderful...fresh and simply charming. Modern in the sleek metal containers but can easily be given a rural or even an antiquey feel by switching containers and perhaps adding some short branches or vines for the rural effect.

Lily-of-the-Valley, photographed by Andy Small, shown in not only remarkable detail but with great contrast against the black background: dramatically stunning! Available along with many other images as gift cards from Andy Small directly in the UK or, if in the US, from Medford Florist.

Look at that detail captured by Andy Small in his photographic work on a "common" dandelion - who'd have thought! One of many inspiring photographs of natural flora on gift cards available at Medford Florist.

Truly organic wallpaper! Designed by Patrick Blanc, this entire interior wall was designed as a living, plant, "wallscape"
Musee de Quay, Paris. Urban greenery on walls/exteriors of buildings is huge in Europe.

More greening of the city, this being the Marche des Halles in Avignon, France.
The greening of the man-made environment. Picture from Urban Jungle in Philadelphia who focus on urban dwelling landscapes -flowerboxes to flora-walls!
Looking for an aquatic theme for an event - sucba divers getting married, for example - and want to avoid the cliches of fish and water? Here's an idea for colors, shapes and forms from Bornay's blog. Various shades and colors of specialist spray paint have been used in part to create the effect.
This design, from the blog Bornay -Spanish- features roses, antique hydrangea and scabiosa flowers and they got their inspiration from one of Claude Monet's numerous Water Lilies impressionist art paintings of the late 19th C. The touches of peach in the flowers and just a hint in the fabric around the container do reflect aspects of the paintings and bring a real dimension to the floral piece. Inspiring, really!

A very good photograph for showing the workings of colors: lavenders and soft purples to pinks and salmon. The design in itself is extremely good "engineering" but I feel that the table guests, when seated, are missing out on the effect and looking at the underside of a large container. But what colors! Preston Bailey again.

Stay with me here...for any event celebrating an individual or persons, a wonderfully involving centerpiece/tablescape is to have framed photographs on the table and appropriately, ambience relative, flowers - pictured ais Brunia. Yes, this idea offers many options and is fairly cost effective. Thank you Preston Bailey.
A tablescape in rich jewel tones from event designer Preston Bailey, a constantly flowing source of ideas. Expensive, yes...ideas to provoke ones brain cells, definitely!
