What to do after the big day is over?

That day, while he was getting down on one knee and your heart was trying to break your ribs, your days got shorter. And not because of the daylight savings time. Because all of the sudden, the somewhat quiet and peaceful life of expecting the “big question” turned into a turmoil of things to do with each one fighting for the top of the list.

After months of chaos, the day finally arrives, the morning jitters wake you, and everyone is dancing around you. The hair, make up, dress, shoes, bouquet, rings….and you may kiss the bride!

And then you wake up. Rested. Your mind desperately seeking for things to do. After months of hard workouts, it lingers and wanders freely and happily. It’s over. Or, is it? What do you do when the craziness is over?

Finally back again…

It’s been a while since I wrote.Seems like it was forever ago I prepared for the bridal shows and created new styles to impress my brides and grooms. And I’m happy to say that they really were impressed.

I’m also happy to say that I finally decided to dedicate myself to this full time. And to stay at home with my baby boy. This was a tough decision as I was never in a situation when I didn’t have  a “real” job. But I plan to make The Bridal Flower my real job and get the most important benefit: provide mommy and me time.

So stay tuned, I will be back and more often

Inspirations and bridal shows

‘Tis the season of bridal shows and wedding planning! Many brides wait until after the holidays to start planning their weddings – new year, new beginnings right? Right. But it can get pretty busy pretty quickly and inevitably an uninvited guest creeps in…stress.

Visit us at 2013 bridal shows!

Let’s start this year with a bang!

I am attending two bridal shows locally (Burlington, VT) so if you’re in the area, stop by and see the flower creations in person! New styles for a new year!

Details for the first show here

Details for the second show here

Hope to see you there!

My newest creation for a special bride

Seems like Mermaid style bouquet is very popular lately. I just finished another one for this month and it was a color combination I couldn’t imagine would work: purple, teal and turquoise. Once I started putting it together, I fell in love with the way colors complemented each other! I really liked how it was coming out and couldn’t wait to finish the set!

When things don’t go as planned on your wedding day

This is one of the worst nightmares for every bride-to-be but also the most common problem with all weddings: what if things go wrong?

Life is not perfect. We learn that every day. So it will be hard to expect your wedding day to go without a glitch no matter how many planners, helpers, wizards or minions you employ. That’s something I’ve witnessed at many weddings, including my own.

We’re now on Etsy!

We are happy to let you know that our items are now available for purchase on Etsy – a site where you will find all kinds of hand-made items including ours! Most of our bouquets will be featured there but you can always find the full line on our website.
