Don Cesar Wedding April 16, 2011

Our wedding today at the Don Cesar was a family affair. I first met with the bride and her parents to discuss the wedding flowers a few months ago. They were excited to talk about the vision they had for the South Terrace where the reception would be held and they wanted to transform the room. We discussed draping the entire ballroom with white sheer organza and uplighting the room in shades of pink and purples to add a romantic glow to the room. Then we decided to keep the florals white so as we turned down the lights, you would still be able to see their beauty. We used white hydrangea, white peonies , ivory garden roses and white phalenopsis orchids. Since the Don Cesar is known as the pink palace- the bride decided to add a pop of color to her head table and cake table in a beautiful shade of pink and accented the table top with a bling border. Stunning!

Her flowers for her bouquet consisted of pink and white peonies. Everything was set for a magical evening , so let the party begin- and boy did they party. I am not sure I have ever seen any group have more fun. Congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds!! It was our pleasure to design your wedding flowers. Thank you!!

Bright Pink Wedding Flowers at The Don Cesar

It is a beautiful Saturday evening at the Pink Palace and Jessica is busy getting ready for her walk down the aisle. She is relaxed and calm because she has chosen wisely and added a full service wedding coordinator that has over seen her every detail. The flowers were chosen to compliment the dresses and the decor of the Don Cesar but the tables were more than decorated- they were table scapes. Chrissy at Ideal Design and Events helps you pull the whole look together by making sure everything from the napkins to the floor length linens enhances the bride's vision of her perfect day. I loved the contrasting colors of the bright sea blue with the pops of hot pink. Great look for July and for a elegant fun beach side wedding. We took pictures to give you a sneak peek but Mike at Lifelong Photography is the real artist and I am anxiously awaiting his images. He is simply amazing!

Don Cesar Wedding Flowers

To get married at the Don Cesar is the dream of many young brides in the Tampa Bay Area. As small girls visiting the hotel and beach this has become a family tradition. It holds fond memories and as a little girl- it feels like you are at a pink castle. So you see it is the stuff that dreams are made of. You just have to experience it for yourself. Since I love pictures and think they say more than words. I will leave you with these images that were captured by Limelight Photography.

Hilton Clearwater Beach Wedding with Flowers by The Bride's Bouquet

Beach weddings at the Hilton Clearwater Beach are so romantic and the flowers just enhance the natural scenery. The flowers from the arch can be used to decorate the head table later and are easily moved. It is one way to maximize your floral budget. This particular arch works as well outside as it does on the deck or in a private room or it looks fabulous as a backdrop for the cake.
Brides today have so many options and we would be happy to assist you with your special day.

Wedding at The Don Cesar with Flowers by The Bride's Bouquet

A classic black and white scheme is always chic and our latest addition to our rental items is the tall black pilsner vase. It looks fabulous with the drapes in the King Charles Room at The Don Cesar and I love the all ivory and white look but the flowers would look great in any color. We can make recommendations for floral designs at your first appt and at your next appt you can preview a sample centerpiece. This is a great opportunity to make adjustments before you approve the design.

New Years Eve Wedding at The Rusty Pelican with DJFelix

When you think about a romantic wedding, candles and lighting and New Years Eve come to mind. Tara and her Mother came to me and described their vision of the glow of candlelight and we took it from there. Since the ceremony was going to be after dark, we really wanted the gazebo at The Rusty Pelican to glow . We added lots of lighting, crystals to catch the light , white willowy branches and yards of organza. The effect was more than the bride had expected and she was thrilled.
It is always very rewarding to exceed the expectations of the bride!
Felix was the DJ and it was the best party in Tampa Bay ( www.felixthedj.com) He is amazing!
As we ushered out 2009 , we are looking forward to 2010 and it looks like it is going to be a banner year. We have weddings booked at the Don Cesar, The Sandpearl, Davis Island Garden Club , Innisbrook, St Pete Yacht Club and many more. There isn't a location we have not been. So when you are considering a florist, we would love the opportunity to meet with you . Call us at 727.785.2562 or visit our facebook page for more pictures- The Bride's Bouquet ( Palm Harbor).
Happy New Year!

Weddings this week at the Rusty Pelican and The Don Cesar

This week as we usher out the old year , we will be delivering wedding flowers to The Rusty Pelican and then Sat Jan 2 at the Don Cesar. I am excited to do both because both brides have made great choices and I can't wait to see how it all comes together. A New Years Eve always sounds romantic and with the backdrop of the Tampa Bay and the lights of the city twinkling over the water, the party just starts to warm up. The DJ that night will be Felix and always knows how to keep the party moving - everyone is guaranteed to have more fun than they have ever had. Saturday at The Don Cesar, I will be working with a family that I have had the privilege to work with all four girls. In their cocktail room, they have planned to set up big screen TVs, so none of the football games are missed. Between the dancing and the games- it will be a wedding to remember and I get to be a part of both! Stay tuned for pictures!

Tropical Bouquets for the Hilton Clearwater Beach to Marriott Sand Key

Tropical bouquets come in so many colors and styles. You can choose from cymbidium orchids, bright colored vanda orchids, dendrobium orchids, and mini callas. Although gerber daisys, lilies and roses are not considered tropical , they go great with the tropical type flowers and really add a pop of color. All of these flowers are available to us year round, so no need to worry about choosing something out of season and they are hardy enough to hold up in our Florida heat.
The Bride's Bouquet can design your bridal bouquets and offer suggestions on how to make it your own style. Whether you are getting married at the Clearwater Beach Hilton, Sandpearl, Marriott Sand Key, Tradewinds to the Don Cesar - these flowers would be perfect on the beach!

Wedding flowers at Mirror Lake Lyceum - St Pete

It has been awhile since I have posted anything at Mirror Lake Lyceum but it is a fabulous place to have a wedding. It is an old church that has been converted to a wedding venue . So a lot of the features of the church - like the stain glass windows and the architectural features are perfect for that! You can bring in your own caterer which also allows you to create a wedding that is not the same as all others. I love that your flowers can be used in the ceremony area and then on the tables, really helps to stretch those dollars in the flower budget.
To see our albums of other venues- visit our facebook page- The Bride's Bouquet . We have pictures there of wedding flowers at Innisbrook, Sandpearl, Don Cesar, Kapok, The Rusty Pelican, Davis Island Garden Club, Eastlake Woodlands Country Club and many more.
We can't wait to talk to you about your wedding flowers. Call us at 727.785.2562.
