My apologies for being MIA for almost a week! I took a trip to NYC and of course when you're in New York there's no time for blogging - I was busy eating, shopping, and playing with flowers :)
One of the things I love most about New York is how readily available everything and anything you might need - that includes the Chelsea Flower Market (on 28th St between 6th and 7th Ave). One of my main reasons for my visit was to go to the market, get inspired, and maybe make a few bouquets. I was a bit disappointed by selection and prices but I think that is a result of the poor economy. It seems that most vendors are cutting down on their inventory and more and more they're focusing on special orders (the big designers almost always place their own orders to ensure they get everything they need).
It's dahlia season (August - October) so this flower is not only in abundance but also a bit cheaper. This flower comes in many different colors, shapes (from basic petals to honeycomb!!!!), and sizes. It's one of my favorites and I love love love working with it because it adds amazing texture to any arrangement/bouquet.
After spending a good amount of time exploring the shops I decided to pick up some pink dahlias, fuscia celocia and a few other lighter pinks. The result is this beautiful bouquet that I dressed up with natural ribbon. The colors and textures pop and this bouquet would be perfect for a modern and fun bride. I'd love to hear what you think!!!
My good friend Anna Azarov shot the bouquet and the result is nothing short of spectacular. We had a good time dodging T-Storms while shooting and I can't wait to come back to NYC to do it again! Thanks Anna!!!
