Springtime Florals

March is here, and we’re looking for spring to hurry on up!  While the temperatures are slowly climbing (and sometimes going back to the low thirties), crocuses are starting to pop up near trees all over town.  It’s one of those first signs that winter is coming to a close.  Crocuses, orchids and tulips are some popular flowers for Easter, Passover and general springtime cheer. 

If you’re lucky enough to have some growing nearby, replant some in a short pot or bed, and have it grow in a well-lit room.  Watch out for allergies!  They have strong pollen, which can irritate the skin and eyes.

Orchids are stunning, but require extra care.  You can pick them up at grocery stores already planted and budding.  No matter how you water or care for them, the end result is a beautiful flower that can last well through the summer (I’ve seen some last over a year!).

Friday HH - Tmr is our Tampa Wedding

Hello everyone and happy Friday. We are super excited because tomorrow is our Tampa wedding! We got an opportunity to get out of the chilly weather and enjoy some Florida sun. The look is full of orchids and perfect for a beach affair. Check out our style board for this wedding:

Updates, Updates, and a bit of Beauty

DBI Events has been a little slow on updating blogs in the past few weeks but that's because we've been working on some really exciting things!

First - if you haven't already check out our site www.dbievents.com

Secondly - we're moving to Washington DC! We've officially begun networking with other DC event professionals. If you know anyone in the MD/DC/VA area getting married or hosting an event please refer them to DBI Events.

Thirdly - DBI Events will be taking 3 weeks to travel the world. One of our destinations? The flower market in Bangkok!!! Many of you probably do not know that most of the flowers you see at the grocery store are imported from either Holland, South America, or Asia. Many of the beautiful and unique orchids are imported directly from Thailand and we are lucky enough to travel there to see the flowers for ourselves. Check out the images of the market below:

Unbelievable - the colors alone! Can't wait to post my own pictures and get inspirations for events to come! And even learn a few tricks from these knowledgeable vendors.

And lastly - I hope that by now all of you have checked out our "article" on www.districtbrideguide.com ! It's all about burlap and its many uses!

Thought for today: next time you go over to someone's house pick up a bouquet of flowers at your grocery store or street vendor. It's a nice and inexpensive gesture that makes everyone feel special :)
