Spring is just a few weeks away, which means Macy's is about to cover the country in beautiful blooms for their annual flower shows! While we're waiting, we've fallen in love with these incredible paper flowers blooming in the Carolina Herrerra windows on Madison Avenue. Want to incorporate these unique details into your wedding? Here are a few ideas...
It all starts with making a chic entrance. Mark your ceremony space with soft floral and calligraphy wedding signs. These delicate details bring in the natural look from your favorite blooms without taking away from your color scheme or overall decor. Want an extra-sophisticated touch? Add a chic metallic frame.
After the ceremony, welcome guests with something unique and extravagant. One of our favorites: sculptural escort cards by Bohemian Bloom. Shown below and designed by Tana Leigh Gerber, these accents are absolutely stunning! They add a sense of texture that you can’t get from a standard card. Your guests will love having their own personal keepsake bloom.

Craving even more unique florals? Just add water (color!). We love the idea of taking hand-painted fabric (like the one in this lovely link from Momental Designs’ Kristy Rice) and turning it into a special clutch or bouquet sash for your bridesmaids. These elegant floral prints are the perfect sophisticated accent to your decor.
Check our Instagram feed closer to the show for some standout blooms and colorful inspiration.
White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
