Cincinnati Wedding Magazine Winter 2011 - Bouquet Sneak Peak

Purple, Gold, and Green! Color Blocking - Mondrian inspired. Bouquet by Jen Shorten of Courtenay Lambert Florals.


This bouquet showcases the amazing work of Jen Shorten, who I'm lucky enough to work with, and who is a lead designer at Courtenay Lambert Florals. She did this amazing bouquet for Cincinnati Wedding Magazine's upcoming issue. The theme was modern spaces and the photo shoot was taken at Pyramid Hill Park in Hamilton. We recently did a wedding there, and it is a truly gorgeous space. The bouquet includes, Bell of Ireland, Stock, Lisianthus, Craspedia, and Lily grass.

Jen used color blocking to put the colors of this bouquet together. She used one of our blumeboxes and did a Mondrian inspired color blocking method (yes, I had to Google that too...think Rubik's cube). Jen has a background in design, and says that color blocking is a great way to develop design inspiration for your wedding. Layering bold block colours makes for a killer statement which screams confidence. Here are a few simple rules:

1. Three is the magic number. Stick to two or three colors, anymore than that and you might end up losing the bold effect. Two’s fine but three makes for a more interesting and effective contrast.

2. Don’t be afraid to clash. The normal rules don’t apply here, don’t be afraid to combine colours you usually wouldn’t.

3. Keep it in the family. It’s also effective to contrast two tonal variations with a more contrasting jarring colour, for example pinks and purples against a vibrant lime green.

4. Be loud and proud. This trend is all about bold bright colours and works best with the most vivid shades.

5. Keep it simple. The look works best with plain neutral accessories; break up the colour blocks with cream, black or grey accessories.

Purple Flower Love

I thought I'd do a really quick posting on a bridal bouquet I did this past March. As the wedding season ramps up, I get busier and busier and have less time for postings. But, I also think it's important that we post things here and there so that our customers can see the latest and greatest. So, I guess what I'm saying is we'll try to do more small and quick posts.

I love this bouquet. I'm more of a pink girl, but I'm more and more becoming a purple girl...especially when you mix it with Fuschias and Magentas....I love it! This bouquet includes Hydrangea, Roses, Hyacinth, and Vanda Orchids.

Here are a couple close ups (you can click on them to blow them up):

Ryan Wenstrup & Colin Moore 8.8.08

I've been dying to post this wedding, and now that September and October are winding down, I have a little time! This wedding was expertly executed by Alison of Aviva Events, and there was no detail left undone. Ryan (the bride) and Colin (the groom) live in Scotland, and they are a wonderful couple...when we were setting up at Ault Park, you could tell it was going to be a fun evening! The weather could not have been more gorgeous, and Ault Park was a stunning setting. Ryan chose vibrant purples and blues, and the vibrant colors looked absolutely gorgeous in this setting.

The pictures are by Bob White of White Imagery, and the fabulous make up was done by Nancy from Brideface.

Men in skirts......one word, "hot". Do I hear an amen ladies? Also, the men wore thistle for their boutonnieres which looked fabulous with their kilts, and has signifigance in the Scottish heritage. Here's the story, "Thistle was adopted as the Emblem of Scotland during the rein of Alexander III (1249 -1286). Legend has it that an Army of King Haakon of Norway, intent on conquering the Scots landed at the Coast of Largs at night to surprise the sleeping Scottish Clansmen. In order to move more stealthily under the cover of darkness the Norsemen removed their footwear. As they drew near to the Scots it wasn't the only thing hiding under the cover of darkness. For one of Haakon's men unfortunately stood on one of these spiny little defenders and shrieked out in pain, alerting the Clansmen of the advancing Norsemen. Needless to say, the Scots won the day. " I love that story, and I hope I got it right.

Here we have Alison (of Aviva Events) on the far left observing her very hip and cool significant other doing an air guitar rendition of something. I love this picture!

I decorated the mother of the bride's crutch at the last minute. We figured we could camouflage it....mission accomplished?
