Holiday 2009 Decorating Ideas

The holidays have crept up on us once again! Many of you, like us, have holiday decorating on your minds. Here are my top 5 tips for 2009!
1. White/Silver: white-hot color trends lend a very winter-wonderland look. Add white and silver accents to your tree and table. Glitter is always in. For a beautifully-scented white display, try our Christmas Lilies.
2. Natural/Woodsy: This trend was hot for fall, and continues through the holiday season. Achieve the look by using natural elements, such as pine, cedar or spruce greens, pinecones, and branches. You can find some here in our Christmas Flowers. Be creative! Go outside and see what you can find.
3. Classic (with a twist): Update the traditional color scheme by using lime green instead of forest, or fuschia instead of red. You can never go wrong with the Christmas classics - including Poinsettias. Try a poinsettia in cream or pink. We've got both.
4. Stick to a theme: To give your décor a pro touch, stick to a few colors only. Jewel-tones make great accent colors.
5. Fresh flower garlands: Freshen up your mainstay garlands by inserting fresh flowers. This is very easy to do - pick your flowers, cut, and insert into plastic water tubes. Tie into garlands.

A Perfect Fall Wedding in Montreal

Most of us know that June is the most popular month for weddings. But Fall is becoming an increasingly popular time to get hitched. Just ask our most recent bride - the gorgeous Vladimira, at left. Vladimira found us online, and took a chance - she came in to see us and gave us a shot. Her needs were simple - a bridal bouquet and a cake topper, made with elegant red and Cézanne roses. Gorgeous!
For the uninitiated, planning a wedding yourself can seem the most daunting of tasks. Whether you choose to go simple and sweet or big and extravagant - we can help you. It's as simple as picking up the phone and setting up a consultation, or just popping in to see us - even if you have no idea where to begin (or no idea what you want either)!
For some inspiration other than Vladimira's round-style bouquet, visit these links. In addition to custom designs, we offer a cascading-style bouquet, an elegant calla lily bouquet, and the ultimate in an orchids-only bouquet. If you have no idea where to start, our Design Your Wedding section will give you lots of food for thought. Happy planning!
