Birch Chuppah

Last wedding season I was asked to provide a chuppah for 3 different wedding ceremonies. I took these request as an opportunity to add a Chuppah to our rental Inventory. The results where better than I could have ever expected and a huge hit. For the current wedding season I was asked for a organic version. I again decided to expand my rental inventory. After many hours, I can say its done! I am beyond thrilled with the out come and can't wait to use it in June. The last piece of the chuppah is the custom cover that is going to be made to fit.   I am also going to modify it so that it can be made smaller to be used as an arbor.  All though it has been made to be used as a chuppah it can also be used for a wedding canopy for an outdoor wedding.

~ The show must go on ~

On February 16th I fell and  broke my ankle. I wish I had a great story as to how but I really don't, I tripped and landed just right on my ankle. Since then I have successfully executed 4 weddings, a Funeral and a very successful bridal show.  I broke it on a wednesday with a double wedding weekend just days away.  I am very grateful to the wonderful support I have had to help me during this time. My clients count on me and I need to be 100% for them.

 I have been in a walking boot for 4 weeks and I have another 10 days to go. The hardest part of all of this is not being able to drive. The boot is on my right foot and driving  with it is impossible...  I have my family driving me around from appointment to appointment.  I am even more grateful that I work for myself and can schedule around those helping me.

My clients have hired me to do a specific job and that job will always be done no matter what happens.  As much as I try to protect my self things do happen. The broken ankle is just a little bump in the road..... As always the show must go on and I am thankful that my 2 brides the days following my injury were very understanding of the situation  and trusted me to do a great job broken ankle or not.  If it had to happen I am glad it happened now and not in May.... I say its my bodies way of making me slow down before the busiest months begin. I have yet to slow down....


Thank you to all those who have been so understanding. It means the world to me...

A wedding planned in under 2 weeks

I meet Jennifer and Bill 2 weeks ago. They were planning there wedding for January 30th and had only been engaged for 2 weeks at that point and had less than 2 weeks to find vendors.  2 weeks was plenty of time to source flowers and supplies needed to achieve their vision   The only issue was a snow storm the week of the wedding delayed the flowers by a day.

 I couldn't have been happier with the outcome.  Jennifer and Bill are such a great couple with such fun  personalities and so ment for each other. They used old school game boards under the centerpieces and scrabble tiles on the place card settings anding the perfect touch.  The chuppah was adorned with garlands of greenery and coordinating flower and accented with  orchid garlands. It was simply beautiful!  The color palette was deep purples and blues perfect for a winter wedding.  

 Jennifers Review: ✭✭✭✭✭

If I could give Stylish Blooms more than 5 stars, I would in a second!! We decided to get married very quickly, and she put me at ease right away.

Stylish Blooms just did our flowers for our reception. Melissa was a pleasure to work with, relaxed, professional and very talented. The price was right, and we were thrilled with the results. Everyone thought the flowers were gorgeous and unique... just what we wanted!!
  

Feels Like Spring

Have a case of the winter blues? For $10 you can enjoy a little bit of spring in your home. With this quick and easy project  anyone can afford to enjoy the beauty of fresh flowers in their home/office.

Materials needed:

- Bud vases in any shape or color (these ones were from my great aunt)

- A bunch of fresh flowers from your local florist. $10 or so will be enough to do a grouping of 3 seasonal flowers

- Sharp knife or scissors

Instructions:

- Fill each vase with warm water and floral food packet provided by florist.

- Cut the bottom of each flower and place in to vases.  There is really no wrong way.
 Above I did a little grouping of heather, iris and daffodil - I could have put one flower in each vase and used the heather as fill in all the vases. The sky is the limit and

- Place in grouping and enjoy or use individually throughout your home/office
