During the month of March we participated in a wedding inspiration styled shoot. The venue was Harbour View Events, which is a beautiful waterfront venue about an hour south of Washington DC. Pride in Planning presented us with the theme of “Enchanted Woodlands”. The color palate was plum, blush and lavender. We designed floral columns […]

A few months ago I decided to organize a wedding inspiration photo shoot. Wedding pros will periodically participate in these shoots for several reasons. Networking with others in the industry, testing out new ideas and introduction of new designs styles are a few reasons we participate in styled shoots. I decided to go with a “glamorous winter garden” theme with blush, gold, black and ivory as the color palette.

It has been a few weeks since I’ve last posted and as a community, we have entered uncharted territory with the COVID-19 experience. As we shift into unprecedented times with restrictions on large gatherings, naturally weddings are a concern. Your initial thought may be doom and gloom but there are options.

By now, many couples planning to marry in 2020 have been affected by COVID-19. Certainly, if you were planning an April-June wedding you have likely rescheduled to late summer, fall or possibly even 2021.

It’s been quite an interesting year so far. The COVID19 pandemic has certainly changed the way we just about everything. Since many of our weddings have been rescheduled for later this year or next year, I’ve had a lot of free time. Last year I taught a few beginner floral design classes which were very rewarding to me. I decided to take the plunge do a virtual class a few weeks ago.

June, the traditional wedding month! The weather is great, everyone is excited about summer and couples everywhere are tying the knot. We had the pleasure of designing flowers for Yvette and Luis on the 13th of June.

The last few months have flown by. We have been busy with intimate weddings a few larger ones. I wanted to show you all this beautiful intimate wedding at Larz Anderson House in .Washington DC. Anderson House is a museum and historic home in DC, and it attracts many visitors yearly due to its history.

We love color at JR Flowers. When a group of professionals asked us to join them for a small wedding editorial shoot, we were definitely on board. The palette was sorbet type colors such as peach, mauve, pink and light green.

Every spring I feel the urge to create with flowers just for fun. After a long winter, it’s time to flex the flower muscles and show off a little of my personal style. I usually ask a good photographer friend to help me create an editorial shoot that showcases vibrant spring color. This year I decided to celebrate the cherry blossoms.
