Flower of the Week: Movie Star Rose

This week's flower is the gorgeous Movie Star Rose, a long-stemmed coral rose worthy of our three favorite Hollywood icons: Liz, Marilyn and Grace. Can't you picture a bouquet of these roses perched  on one these uber-glamourous women's dressing tables? 

Roses come in an infinite number of colors, sizes and different named varieties, and the Movie Star is one of our new favorites. Traditionally, roses are a symbol of love, romance, beauty, passion and courage - all traits that our icons possessed in spades. Here's to beautiful flowers and beautifully passionate women! 

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Color Love: Corals

Lately we've had lots and lots of summer brides coming in for consultations, and that reminded us of one of our favorite colors to use for spring and summer weddings: coral!  Coral just feels like a summer wedding, doesn't it? It brings to mind warm breezes, fruit-filled cocktails and perfect golden sunshine. 

Check out our coral inspiration board and the beautiful bouquet Elizabeth put together: 

Clockwise from top left (all images found on Pinterest) : 1. Dress your pretty maids in different shades of the same color family. 2. Love the idea of single stems in pretty containers to dot reception tables. 3. This ruffled icing is too precious in that color! 4. Delight your guests with punch in mismatched brasserie-style glasses. 5. Summer weddings are the perfect excuse to lounge on squashy pillows, hunting party-style. 6. Long, flowing ribbons make a beautiful ceremony backdrop. 7. Wedding shoes in the perfect coral with the perfect amount of ruffled girliness!  

It's impossible to look at these colors and not be anything but joyful! We hope all you brides hunting for the perfect color palette agree :)
