Another one of our favorite wedding trends this year has been the mixing of all sorts and colors and textures, giving a fun, lighthearted vibe to the celebration.

Vase table runners like these have been all the rage this past year, and they’re a great money saver- they’re really easy to move, so you can use them in your reception space after the ceremony!

So far, our most popular item this week has been our Unicorn Dreams arrangement... No 2 are exactly alike, and it includes a wearable headband, so you can't go wrong! This piece coordinates well with any of our unicorn balloons, tumblers and bath bombs, making for a great thoughtful, themed gift.

Orchids are some of our favorite flowers for weddings. Especially when worked in with other light blooms, they bring so much class and elegance to these bouquets and arrangements!

SO MUCH wedding action happening here this week! I’m excited to use some of these darker and berry-toned color combinations again as we inch closer and closer to fall… can’t wait to see how these all turn out!
