Clearwater Beach Weddings and Bridal Flowers

Spring is here and after a cold dreary winter, I am seeing lots of brides that are choosing bright colors for their weddings. I have to admit that I am enjoying the colors and they do convey a spirit of Spring and new beginnings. For centerpieces, I love mixing styles and shapes to express the bride's personality and I feel it offers more variety than doing the same arrangement on every table. Lanterns with flowers and flowers under glass are all fun ways to spice up your tables and make conversation pieces. We are inspired by your ideas and can help you bring it all together . Please call us at 727.785.2562 for a free design consultation.

Flower centerpieces for Innisbrook Resort

Last week we had a group at Innisbrook that wanted to use their flowers for a few days for their different events and we suggested Yellow lilies, orange roses and white callas in a glass cylinder vase. As you can tell from the pictures the yellow lilies are just starting to open and the roses would just become more beautiful over several days. We almost always suggest a glass vase for groups that want their flowers to last because it is the lack of water that kills the flowers . By putting them in a container with lots of water, they were guaranteed longevity. Yellow is a very popular color this year and pairing it with orange gives it a fresh look that is perfect for a group of men as well as ladies. Contact us anytime you need flowers for your corporate event. 727.785.2562. We deliver to Innisbrook, Sandpearl, Saddlebrook, Marriott Waterside , Safety Harbor Spa and many other locations in the Tampa Bay Area.

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!

Tiffany blue, starfish and crystals at The Sandpearl

Challenges are my specialty and I love it when a bride comes to me with a color scheme and theme and wants me to put it together for her. That was the case with Stephanie who got married at the Sandpearl on April 11. She wanted to incorporate the colors of her bridesmaids dresses- Tiffany blue with the beach and the sand but still wanted an elegant, classy wedding - beachy but not too beachy- and she wanted to add crytals to everything to add the sparkle that she loved. She also did a great job picking out shimmery sand colored linens and added her main color of Tiffany blue- we think the results were perfect ! Congratulations Stephanie and thank you for letting us be a part of your ceremony.

Martha Stewart Winner Sunday , Nov 9 at the Sandpearl

Pink was the color of the day for our Martha Stewart Wedding. Natalie chose pink hydrangea, white poenies, and shades of pink roses. We used large garden roses called esperance and double party to compliment her theme. Her dream was to have lots of sparkles for her fairy tale wedding and so we added flower jewelry to her bouquet and hanging crytals from the centerpieces. Congratulations Natalie and Tom! Enjoy your honeymoon on Clearwater Beach.

Wedding Nov 8 at the Sandpearl

Last weekend we had the pleasure of creating the flowers for Erica Wilensky at the Sandpearl. It was the perfect day for a beach wedding and the Chuppah on the boardwalk was set against the most gorgeous blue sky you could ever ask for. The theme was natural elegance and sunset colors of peach mini callas and green cymbidium orchids were used to compliment the rustic chuppah with curly willow. In the ballroom Erica selected tall glass vases that were lit by LED lighting and had 6 foot tall curly willow with cream open cut callas, peach callas and mango vanda orchids. It was the perfect choice for the tall ceilings in the ballroom . Congratulations Erica to all your attention to details !

Sandpearl wedding with a Sand Castle

We had the pleasure of working with Laura and Richard this past Sunday . It was a beautiful gorgeous day and all the details of the wedding reflected their special personalities. Richard personally greeted all his guests and as they walked down to the beach they were greeted by a sandcastle with the couples name on it. Refreshments were served before the wedding so that no one was ever found wanting for anything. After the ceremony Richard swept his new bride off her feet literally!! As they were taking pictures, drinks and refreshments were served on the Gulf Lawn of the Sandpearl http://www.sandpearl.com/ . Every where you looked you found people conversing and enjoying the perfect day. Marly at Beautiful Wedding Photography never missed an opportunity to capture every detail . http://www.beautifulweddingphotography.com/ After enjoying the fabulous food at the Sandpearl , they walked upstairs to The Cove Room which features a view of Clearwater Beach and the Gulf. Since the theme was fall, we did lush full centerpieces with vindela roses, leonitas roses, creamy hydrangea and rusty red lilies. We did a carved pumpkin with the couples name and wedding date on it and for the favors, the bride selected gourmet candy apples. The night cont. with more fabulous food served by the Sandpearl's award winning chef and dancing into the night. Kathy Demarco from the Sandpearl ensured that every detail was followed explicitely. Laura and Richard beamed with joy and it was a perfect start to the rest of the their life! Thanks for letting The Bride's Bouquet be a part of it!
