These are great examples of a beautiful summer bouquet and boutonniere.

Here are some photos I took while shopping for flowers for my mother in Poland. I cannot resist to pass up a flower shop - no matter where I am!

Look for our monthly Color & Style article featuring how to convey a message with flowers.  Also be on the look out for European Floral Design in Southern Distinction's Wish List which, "takes a look at some of the hottest ideas on the market."

At European Floral Design we have the opportunity to work with very unique and beautiful flowers from all over the world.  Here are a few of our 'favorite pairings' for the bride and groom.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of getting some much needed r&r in my favorite place: St. Simons! While I was there I met the owner of the FABULOUS Ocean Lodge and was lucky enough to get a tour of the place. To say that it is beautiful wouldn't begin to do it justice. The stunninng decor and breathtaking St. Simons views from the various balconies create an ambiance fit for royalty, (I felt like a queen while eating breakfast there)!

This past winter European Floral Design has participated in many Wedding & Bridal Shows.  We hope to give brides in the Athens area and beyond a lot of inspiration about their wedding flowers.  Here are a few photographs from the shows, compliments of Wingate Downs Photography (first photo) and ZoomWorks Photography (all other photos). 

 

If you are interested in European Floral Design for your wedding flowers, give us call! I would be happy to set up an appointment with you to discuss all of your floral needs!

This past weekend, (March, 20th) all of us here at the shop made the trip to Atlanta to set up the floral arrangements we designed for the big Board of Regents event. The expansive Atrium Ballroom at the Atlanta Marriot Marquis was beautifully decorated with dramatic lighting and table settings as well as our colorful and one-of-a-kind floral arrangements. In my opinion, the bold colors and very unique flower selections made this year's decor even more stunning than last year's!

Despite the Valentine's Day madness, about 4 inches of snow and icy road conditions, we slowly and carefully ventured to the Georgia Aquarium last Saturday morning, (the 13th), to set up for an event in the breathtaking Ocean's Ballroom. The huge ballroom features floor to ceiling views of two of the aquarium's massive fish tanks and the event was expected to have around 600 guests.

Our annual Wedding Open House this year was a HUGE success! The turnout was great despite the rain and we enjoyed getting to visit with our old friends and clients as well as meeting with new brides, who we are so excited to work with! Beautiful arrangments of all different sizes, styles and colors filled the shop and showcased many different floral trends. If you missed the Open House, no worries, we have plenty of pictures! Look at the "Open House 2010" album in the portfolio section of the website to see the arrangements!

Yesterday, January 5th, we welcomed the newest, (very highly anticipated) addition to the shop, Sophie II, (not to be confused with Sophie I, our King Charles Spaniel shop manager). Sophie II is a bulldog statue, (decorated as a flower girl) who sits at the front of the shop. From her rainboots to her various pearl toe rings she is proving to be every bit as sassy and commanding as Sophie I. We hope that you will all get a chance to stop by and meet our lovely watchdog, but until then we have included some pictures. Enjoy!
