A Fairy Tail Wedding in Tampa

My Secret Garden

I have mixed vegetables with flowers.

This is the think I do in my spare time. It's a place I enjoy and a place of relaxation. I have always enjoyed working in the garden. Planting a seed nurturing and watching it grow is one of the most satisfying things I know. Growing up in a family of gardeners was such a great experience that I have carried on the tradition. For the past few years I haven't done much in the way of gardening, but today it's back in my life and I'm loving it. I now grow stephanotis that I use in bridal bouquet work and flowers that I can pick a blossom or two for in a small vase to help bring some life to our home.

June Bouquet Making Class

This is a great opportunity for that DIY bride that would like to learn the tricks of creating her own bridal bouquet. You will not only learn how to make the bouquet, but understand what goes into creating the bouquet. The class will also include learning to make a boutonniere and corsage. Please visit us at http://www.appleblossomstampa.com for all the details.

Creating your Unique Style

In crating a party, event, or wedding think outside the box. Using items or themes that create your own personal style. When it comes to containers for arrangements ask your Mom, Grandmothers, and Aunts if there are items they might have to create your look. You might be surprised what they may have tucked into a closet or the top of a kitchen cabinet. Selecting a theme or color scheme is the way to begin. Anything from wine glasses to crystal vases. You can also use resources such as dollar stores, thrift shops, and flea markets. I find great items at all of these places. Finding a theme for your event and sticking with it will give a much greater impact. Once you have found the theme you are looking to achieve don't jump around with trying to add things that don't relate. Does not matter whether might be Moroccan or a Pink Theme. Choose no more than 3 colors. The less colors you choose the higher the impact the less the cost may be. The more colors the more the eye needs to travel.
