Tampa - What is a full service wedding florist?

Tampa- What does it mean when a wedding florist calls them self full service. It can mean a lot of things but to us it means that from the time we begin the delivery to the time we finish the lighting the last candle - we are there to serve you and ensure that all the details are correct. We start by delivering the bridal flowers directly to the bride- whether that is to a home address, to a hotel , or to the ceremony site. We pin on every corsage and bout and set up all the details for the wedding. After the ceremony, we stay and move the flowers to your reception to be used again there. For receptions that rent equipment from us- like large vases- we pick them up and do not require that you are inconvenienced to bring them back to us. So lets say your wedding is at Sacred Heart downtown Tampa and your reception is at Marriott Waterside. We will transfer your altar flowers to the reception while your guests are in their cocktail hour and we will take the flowers from the pews and decorate your head table and cake table with them. It is a lovely way to re-use your beautiful flowers and get the most for your flower dollars. Full service to us- means taking care of all the details and we are happy to assist. When you are interviewing florists- be sure to ask who will be taking care of these details and if that is not part of their service- call us for an appt. 727.785.2562
Enjoy your wedding day and let us handle the details!

Flowers for Fall weddings in Florida at The Rusty Pelican

I know you are saying, it is hard to feel like fall when it is so warm but I think we can at least experience the season change with richness of fall flowers. We used green cymbidium orchids, mango mini callas and leonitas roses ( often called the brown rose) with fruit- wine red pomegranates in a hand painted glass bowl. The tablecloths were a shimmery copper color and with the candles- it just couldn't have looked prettier. So we may not get fall leaves but we can still evoke that fall feeling with fall flowers. The Gazebo flowers at The Rusty Pelican continued the theme. To see more pictures of weddings in the Tampa Bay area, Clearwater beach and Clearwater - visit our website www.thebridesb.com

Flowers by The Bride's Bouquet at Davis Island Garden Club

Davis Island Garden Club in Tampa is a wonderful venue to have a wedding. The gazebo is waterfront and the wide porch evokes memories of an old fashioned wedding where all the neighbors came. Inside the room , you can decorate the tables with a combination of tall and low centerpieces. The fun and unexpected elements of limes in the vases keeps the color scheme crisp and clean.
