FLOWER Monday

Hello all my readers! Thanks for stopping by the Engaging Events blog on your first day back at work in 2009.

2009 is going to bring many changes to the blog and the website. The blog will soon be appearing on the website directly rather than here at blogger. Don't worry, you will still be able to subscribe to the blog in an email or RSS feed. As well, you will have an option to choose to follow me on twitter and become a fan on our Facebook Page.

We are changing Bouquet Monday to be Flower Monday and it will feature REAL flowers from REAL weddings I have done over the years. In this feature, we will not only show bridal bouquets but also bridesmaids bouquets, church flower and decor ideas and centerpieces. This is very exciting and I have had fun looking through all the past weddings I have done. So check back EVERY Monday to see gorgeous flowers and decor that Engaging Events has done over the years.

Have a great day and once the website is done, I will announce it here!

Today's Flowers are "Mothers" Flowers. Gone are the days of the wrist corsage with the elastic band. Mothers are choosing to carry little bouquets which match either the brides bouquet or the colors of the bridesmaids bouquets. Here is a cute little "posy" bouquet held by Patty Thompson whose daughter got married this past July 19th, 2008.

Bouqet Monday

On this COLD, COLD winter morning in Chicago I thought I would post a FUN and springy bouquet! Spring is only four and a half months away! This bouquet features peonies, sweet pea, and tulips!

I really do like purple and purple flowers. There are not a huge variety of purple flowers but this is really a striking bouquet. This is vanda orchids and privet berries. What a statement! Maybe you could even wear purple shoes on your wedding day!

I am feeling all "Holiday"-like today and thought I would feature a bouquet that reminded me of the Holidays. This bouquet features roses and red hypericum berries, perfect for a December bride.

What an adorable bouquet of hot pink gerbers, spray roses and green kermit mums. We have a long way until spring in Chicago but this made me think about awesome spring weddings!

I am loving fall and this bouquet scream fall to me! Garden roses, cymbidium orchids and gloriosa lilies is combined with orange pin cushions, fern curls and billy balls.

I LOVE this orchid bouquet for bridesmaids or even a bride. What a wonderful splash of color and the leaf wrap so delicately finishes off the spray of orchids.

This bouquet is very romantic and sexy. It is so different and bold to walk down the ideal with a hand full of deep red roses. Don’t get me wrong I love the all white look, but the red is a very stunning look. If your taste isn’t risky then ditch the calla lilies and stick with the Ecuadoran Black Magic and Black Baccara roses. Another way to keep things romantic would be to dazzle your guest at the reception with lots of candles and red roses!

I picked this bouquet because it says fall!! I really like how couples decide to use flowers that are in season. It not only goes along with a seasonal wedding but it is more affordable. The texture of this bouquet really makes it look a bit on the wild side. This bouquet consists of cymbidium orchids, pin cushion protea, green and red hypericum berries, viburnum berries, and black and orange calla lilies. Since the flowers are natural it would go so well with a plum or chocolate brown bridesmaid dress.

I love this bouquet! There is something about this bouquet that stands out more than the rest. The flowers almost speak to you. The roundness and softness of the delicate bouquet makes it look romantic. A peony bouquet would be perfect for a very elegant and sophisticated bride.

Kate Nierengarten's bouquet was a classic bouquet of white callas lillies. There is something about this classic bouquet that just screams "BRIDAL" to me!

I just loved Kaley's bridal bouquet. It was a BIG bouquet of cymbidium orchids, mango calla lillies, cream roses and of all things, ostrich feathers! It was such a fun bouquet for such a fun bride!
