Planning an Autumn Wedding?

Here's a table suggestion for your autumn wedding.  A ring of fresh flowers surrounds a large glass cylinder vase with red floating candles.  Tall twigs give height to the arrangement but do not totally cover the view from across the table.  Napkin treatments include a twine bow and red roses for each guests.  The table is finished with a smart burlap runner (burlap is soooo popular right now!).  You may want to use this type of arrangement on some of your tables and a different style of arrangement on other tables to add some interest and keep within your budget.  Call our wedding and event experts for more ideas for your wedding any time of the year!

Here Come the Irish Plants!

St. Patrick's Day is a true sign of Spring, and this year it's on Sunday, March 17th.  Couldn't resist these beauties in our greenhouse!  The first picture is a Blarney Stone planted with a delicate lacy fern.  Tradition has it that whomever kisses the Blarney Stone will be blessed (or cursed!) with the gift of gab.  If you have a friend who loves to talk, this may be the perfect gift.  At least while they are kissing the  stone, you may get a few words in edgewise.

Oh, and the beautiful shamrock plants are here, in both green and  burgundy pink with spritely white flowers.  St. Patrick used the shamrock plants to explain the trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and the legend goes that a 4-leaf clover is lucky because the 4th leaf represents luck.  Blarney stones are just $17.99 and the shamrocks range in price from $8.99 to $17.99.  Here for a limited time!

The Bling's the Thing!

The Waukesha Floral designers just love this fun ribbon treatment for weddings and parties.  Our "bling" ribbon is lightweight, bendable and really creates a lot of sparkle when used on cylinder vases or candles, or even a table-top treatment as shown in this wedding reception arrangement created by Denise.  It comes in a variety of widths and colors.  Here you see both solid silver and silver with a black  background.  There are no gems used in this ribbon, it's simply the way the ribbon is cut that creates the "bling".  The benefit to this is there are no gems to pop off and take away from the elegant look!

Progress is Being Made at Waukesha Floral!

Above Floral Cooler:  Mahogany 3-D Wall

Perky Orange with "Waukesha Floral" Letters

 An update on our "facelift" progress!  The main atrium has been painted a very perky Parakeet Green with Khaki Shade and Crisp Linen walls.  This is the area we change seasonally, and we think these colors will be neutral to compliment Spring, Summer, Autumn and Christmas merchandise.  In the back, our sympathy area sports Hazel, which sometimes looks blue and sometimes green, but is very tranquil.  The wall towards our greenhouse has Armagnac (orange) with silver "Waukesha Floral" letters.  After 30 years in our barn, the silver letters spelling out our name are finally in place!  The rich mahogany wood pieces over our cooler make a nice focal point for the whole room.  Carpet squares in brown and tan complete the facelift.  What's left?  Two walls next to our check-out should be done by Valentine's Day!  Come and check out our progress!

Paint was chosen from the Urban Organic Color Collections by Sherwin Williams.  Choosing from 20 colors that all harmonize together made the project fun and easy.  The cooler wall and wall repairs were done by TAG construction, and the carpet squares were installed by Stu's Flooring.
