Peony Peonies Madness

Even though the sky is continuing winter, here at the shop, we are done with winter already! So to cheer up all of our summer brides we are focusing on the quintessential wedding flower that Martha Stewart made famous in this generation.

Peonies! These flowers are gorgeous, possibly even more so because they are only available for such a short time in the summer. They come in whites, pinks, reds and yellows and probably even more as cultivation of them grows.

We are absolutely in love with all things peony. This flower can't be anything but gorgeous and it lends it's romantic lush beauty to all things. Our stunning brides that have chosen this as a wedding flower have never been disappointed with all the show that these flowers bring to their day. 

So here is some eye candy and let's see if we can convert some more to our insanity over this gift of nature.

Seasonal Spring

Let's face it, each season has flowers that will be at their best. Depending on how far we have come in cultivation, it is possible to obtain some flowers in any season that used to be unavailable. Tulips are the first example that come to mind.

Nature can only be tamed so much though! There are some highly seasonal flowers that still require that they be enjoyed only in their natural growing times. This week we will explore some of the amazing flowers that set our hearts a flutter when they start becoming available... because it is Spring!

Anemone

This delicate flower reminds us of Poppies because the petals are weightless and paper thin. Anemones are available in a rainbow of colors including the elusive "blue" for flowers.

Lilac

Lilac just feels like Spring. It has a delicate fragrance that lingers long after it has left the room. It is a thirsty flower though and can't be out of water or in extreme temperatures or it will wilt quickly.

Hyacinth

We just love talking with our Spring brides about Hyacinth. The little trumpet flowers are fragrant but last well out of water so are ideal for working into bouquets and corsages. One whiff of these and all their special memories come rushing in!


Daffodil (Narcissus)

Another perfect Spring flower, Daffodils evoke immediate feelings of birth, renewal and life. This flower is such a beacon of hope that The American Cancer Society adopted the flower as a symbol for "a future where cancer is no longer a life-threatening disease."


Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms are much like the season itself. They are fresh, new and incredibly unpredictable. One gust of strong wind can send them scattering but when they are in bloom there is nothing else quite like them!

Hawaii Photo Shoot

Sax-Romney's owner Sean recently had the opportunity to fly down to Hawaii for a photshoot with Jonathan Canlas an amazing Utah Photographer. So of course we had to post some pictures of Hawaii and the trip! The photoshoot included arrangements Sean made himself using decadent phaleonpsis orchids for inspiration.

The linens were provided by our good friend Colby Su of C3 design. She always has the most perfect colors!

Congratulations on Your Engagement!

The holidays are a magical time of year with snow falling and dusting the valley and bright twinkling lights reflecting in icicles. It is also my favorite time of year because Starbucks returns with their peppermint mocha and the delicious red sprinkles on top of whip cream.... mmmm!!

Now is also the time that many of our brides getting engaged to the love of their lives. And who wouldn't in such a glorious and romantic atmosphere?

After the hectic holiday schedules slow down is when most brides start to plan their dream wedding. The dress, the place, the time, the colors.... And then comes working it all into the (dare we say it?) budget.

How do you make the most out of your finances? Well, we are a flower studio, but we aren't going to say "spend it all on flowers". That's just silly. There has to be food of course! But honestly we feel the real nuts and bolts of making the most out of your wedding resources is in working with vendors who share your vision and excitement about this day.

They have to know your style and have your confidence in bringing the best together. We work with our brides openly and creatively so that we can learn what you want and reinterpret with flowers into something beautiful and uniquely "you".
