We are so thankful for all our amazing brides, grooms, clients and friends. 2011 was an amazing year and we are looking forward to a great 2012.

But, before we get started on the new year, we are taking a little break! The shop will be closed January 1st  through January 8th. We will re-open on January 9th!

We hope to see you when we return!

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we have not had the chance to share photos from some of our amazing 2011 brides. As we get ready for 2012, we had a few that we just can't wait for you to see - starting with Chris and Kim!

Chris and Kim got married on a fall day at the Liberty House in Jersey City. The Liberty House is a great venue with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. It was the perfect backdrop for Chris and Kim's amazingly beautiful ceremony and reception (despite the tricky weather).

To create the modern romantic mood for their big day, we used lush flowers with soft textural elements for the personal flowers. Take a look at some of the photos by Julia Newman Photography...

(Clockwise from top) The bride's bouquet was an ivory dream with 'Patience' garden roses, lisianthus, zinnia, freesia, Queen Anne's lace, and astilbe (it smelled heavenly!). The bridesmaids' bouquets added a pop of pink with zinnias, garden roses, astilbe and pittosporum. And, the soft, simple groomsmen boutonneires were astilbe and pittosporum.

Chris and Kim were terrific to work with and we loved every element of their beautiful wedding. To see the images above and more, please view our wedding collection by clicking here or log on to Julia Newman's blog by clicking here.

This little kitty we've named Pippy has come to live with us this week from one of our clients who found her about a month ago. She was found around Montgomery Street (Museum area) and is so friendly we just can't believe she was a stray! If you have any leads, please let us know. We'd like to give her a good home, so come by the shop and say hello to Pippy, maybe she'll go home in your Christmas stocking!
