C & A ~ Centerpieces & Details!

One thing we pride ourselves on is being able to bring any space to life, this was definitely the case for this reception space. Tallahassee only has a handful of event spaces that allow you the freedom to bring in your own vendors and this was really important to this couple. They wanted a family friend to handle the catering so they had to find a space that would allow it and the Old Antique Car Museum was a great location for that. However, this space did present some challenges decor wise but with a little imagination and COLOR, the end result for this reception was spectacular. The couple initially had a yellow and chocolate brown color scheme and after viewing the reception site, we asked them to allow us to add a pop color to the decor because the paint and the carpet of the venue blended with their color scheme. They agreed and I think the pop of pink here and there was very posh. We loved this bride so much, she is just the sweetest person and we will miss our meetings with her, she kept us smiling :) It was our pleasure to surprise her with a crystal tree for the check in table:

I absolutely loved how this tree came out. The china mums are so luxurious in texture they worked well with the crystals and the metallic gold of the tree.

We created two different centerpieces for this wedding. This was our Lemon bride :) That is all she requested and gave us creative control to come up with something that would work well in the space. For the tall centerpieces we created a caranation ball with birch branches. The ceilings were sssooo low in this space so we didn't want the centerpieces to be too high. The first picture was taken right before the guest came in.

The smaller centerpieces were in a small round cylinder vase, lined with coffee beans and packed with gorgeous skyline & light yellow roses, white roses, pink spray roses, yellow freesia and billy balls. We also used birch branches and lemons to tie in all the centerpieces.

We also created all of the paper details for this wedding. In this next shot you can get a view of the coffee beans used in the smaller centerpieces.

I wanted to share how cute this cake was. Tiki's Tasties really is a fantastic vendor to use. Her work is fantastic and her cakes are beyond delicious. Hands down, one of the best in this area. We used her for our wedding so I can personally recommend her services. Posh provided the flowers and Tiki and her team produced another masterpiece. Cute!

Chirrie & Ren, we wish you all many years of wedded bliss. We loved working with you and your family and thank you for letting us be a part of your day!

C & A ~ Bouquets!

I wanted to share the awesome bouquet images my team took of the personal flowers for Chirrie’s wedding a few weeks ago. I prefer to post professional pictures of our work but I think some of these images are extremely gorgeous and most would think they were taken by a skilled photographer. Don’t be surprised if you see Posh Photography in the future, gotta dream big, right :)

Jr. BM's bouquet. We wanted to do something special for her since she was daughter of the bride. We added the lemon slices for fun. Yummy, right?!

Bridesmaid Bouquet!

Bridal Bouquet! Loved the vintage inspired lace wrap we found for this bouquet!

All the bouquets hydrating before we head over to the church. Toss bouquet is wrapped in yellow satin ribbon and the Jr. BM bouquet is wrapped in the pink!

Please excuse the awful box :) but I wanted to showcase the gorgeous corsages and bout's. Loved these colors!! Stay tuned......will be back soon to share the centerpieces from this wedding!

Orange You Glad It's Fall.....

I know.....that was way corny but I can't help myself. I am THRILLED the season is changing, the leaves are starting to turn golden yellow and orange and pumpkin patches are popping up on every corner. Even though it's still ninety degrees here in sunny north Florida, I can tell that cooler temperatures are on the way to stay and fall will be in full effect in this area! Most people in the country have witnessed the change in season for a few weeks now and are starting to get ready for winter and I ssssoooo envy them. How I long to wear great boots, leather blazers and pea coats on a weekly basis.....okay, I know I am going off on a tangent but fall fashion is like to die for and this is one of my favorite times of the year :) I love how nature slowly changes and warms everything up into gorgeous colors that define this time of year. I especially love all shades of orange, especially what we call “burnt orange”, I love the gold undertones of this color and I buy everything in this color, especially shirts and sweaters…..off on a tangent again, sorry. Many fall brides choose burgundy, orange, brown and gold for a color palette but I was just thinking the other day of  creating a board with only orange. Different shades of orange that is, this is often done with pink and red and I thought it would be fun to play around with one of my favorite colors. One great color scheme that we see a lot in the summer is orange with hot pink…swoon, love that palette. It’s very refreshing, bold and chic, I really LOVE seeing linens in these colors, especially pintuck tablecloths. For those brides that are season conscious, I removed the hot pink from that color scheme and came up with this board:

Orange Crush by Posh Stems on Polyvore.com

Orange is a color that changes moods depending on what you pair it with, for instance if you use black and orange, you get that dark Halloween feel, pair it with brown and you think fall. I love it best when it is used with gold or on its own, it just becomes so vibrant. I believe brides should choose colors for their wedding that they love, no matter the season but orange is a great option for this time of year! Stay Posh :)

Sneak Peak ~ C & A 10.03.09

I loved working on these centerpieces, they were so much fun! This picture was taken after we started loading the flowers for delivery.  My yellow bride told me she only had one request in regards to her decor....LEMONS!! Stay tuned for more, we have so much to share from this beautiful wedding. Have a POSH weekend!

Weekend Tidbits...

The team at Posh Stems had a very busy weekend, we had a beautiful event and I can't wait to share the pictures from this weekend's wedding.  Everyone worked so hard and I really want to let Chenee', Alecia, Shanda, Whitney, Terrance & my awesome husband know how much I appreciate all of their hard work.  My mother and niece even stopped by the venue to lend a helping hand and we are all so proud of our work.  Check out a portion of our shipment of flowers, we received over 700 white carnations alone. Check back soon to see how we turned these gorgeous stems into Posh Designs!!

Sorry about the bad pictures, I used my camera phone!

Stay Posh!
