Peach & Coral Rose Bridal Bouquet


It’s Wedding Wednesday!! Sorry we missed you last week. We hope everyone had a joyous holiday!

This week’s bouquet is a lovely clutch bouquet of coral and peach roses with accents of lemon leaf and variegated pittosporum; the flowers are surrounded by a nest of copper wires. Simple and elegant, this bouquet would be a lovely compliment for an oceany beach themed wedding or a nice pop of color against creamy neutral bridesmaids dresses.

Fairytale Wedding

This week’s Wedding Wednesday we’re bringing you pics of some of our beautiful wedding designs from a ceremony and reception at the Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn, PA.

Guests were greeted at the reception by a lavish bouquet on the card table.

What a beautiful facility! The Cairnwood Estate is one of three architectural gems in historic Bryn Athyn, situated among the Bryn Athyn Cathedral and the Glencairn Museum. We had the pleasure of doing some onsite decorating for the lucky couple that choose this as the place for their nuptials.

The wedding ceremony took place in front of the estate's beautiful entrance
and was flanked by two opulent floral arrangements.
They choose roses, lilies, alstroemeria, hanging amaranthus, bells of Ireland, and more blooms in oranges, whites and greens. Opulent foliage completed their look and the warmth of the orange hue complimented the soft colors of the mansion’s interior beautifully.

Between the stunning grounds of the estate, the rich details of the building and the lavish floral arrangements adorning the reception and ceremony this wedding had that true fairytale feeling!

Beautiful Creamy Bridal Bouquet

Hooray! It’s Wedding Wednesday! If you haven’t caught on yet, we’ve been sharing a wedding something almost every week for a few months now. We have the pleasure of designing wedding flowers for at least one happy couple every week at the shops; how could we possibly keep them all to ourselves!?!

This week’s Wedding Wednesday bridal bouquet is soft, elegant, pretty, and with its creamy neutral colors it’s well suited to many brides and many wedding themes, from the shabby chic to the classically elegant. This clutch bouquet was created with ivory and cream (almost peach) roses with velvety soft dusty miller. The foliage textures are further layered into the bouquet with seeded eucalyptus and feathery looking plumosa.

Flowers for the Haute Couture Bride

Sorry we missed you last week… Thanksgiving was wonderfully busy at the flower shop and by the time we realized it was Wedding Wednesday it was practically Thursday! Hope you missed us!

This week’s Wedding Wednesday bridal bouquet is a shop stopper; big, beautiful, exotic, and dramatic. Lovely pink ginger arc across the top of the bouquet, nestled behind birds of paradise, with their orange and blue crowns fanning out in colorful display. Hot pink roses are gathered in the front of the bouquet with a pop of purple statice at their center. Pouring from the roses is a flowing cascade of burgundy hanging amaranthus and a few stems of yellow solidego flair out to the side for another pop of color. A forest of foliage finishes the bouquet including plumosa, looped Ti leaves, sprays of lily grass and loops of braided emerald palm. We definitely think this unique bouquet belongs in our floral haute couture collection.

A Stein Family Wedding

It’s Wedding Wednesday! This week we thought we’d share a beautiful bridal bouquet and cake design from an extra special wedding, the wedding of two wonderful people that are forever a part of the Stein Your Florist Co. family.

This lovely bridal bouquet (and awesome couple) will always be one of our favorites! Pale pink roses, white lisianthus, miniature calla lilies, stock flower, green hypericum berries, hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus create the perfect wedding clutch bouquet. Soft, romantic and simply stunning.

Their cake is also one to remember. Pretty petals complimenting the bride’s bouquet and bands of ribbon to match the bridesmaids’ dresses turned this petite cake into a reception show stopper!

Petite Peony Bridal Bouquet

It’s that day of the week again… Wedding Wednesday!! This week’s bouquet is a petite bridal clutch of white peonies. It is so simple and sweet with a bit of pearl accent on it’s stems; it whispers of wedding romance.

Peonies are symbolically known as the flower of riches and honor. Their opulent, full, rounded blooms embody romance and prosperity and are considered an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage, making them a highly desired flower for many brides. They are the traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana, and the 12th wedding anniversary flower.

Peak peony season begins in early spring and extends through late June, perfect for all those springtime weddings!

Penny for your Thoughts

November is Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness month. This devastating disease has touched the lives of the owner and his family here at Stein Your Florist Co., as well as, many of our staff. Through sharing our story and our fund raising efforts we have also learned that it has affected the lives of many of our beloved customers and friends in the community as well.

Purple is the color for Alzheimer's Disease Awareness. Our model is draped in
purple blooms and an awareness ribbon on our hand laid penny
floor benefiting Alzheimer's Disease Research.
Alzheimer’s is a disease that attacks the brain; it is the most common form of dementia. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.4 million Americans are living with the disease and every 69 seconds someone in the US develops it. It is the 6th leading cause of death in the US and of the top 10 diseases that kill, Alzheimer’s is the only one that is not preventable or curable. 

Eager to do our part in the fight against Alzheimer’s we held a fundraiser at our Philadelphia location benefiting Alzheimer’s Disease Research (ADR), a program of the American Health Assistance Foundation (AHAF). Since 1986, ADR has funded more than $74 million to support Alzheimer’s research and has made significant progress in the understanding and treatment of this puzzling disease. They are confident that with the help and support of others that they can eventually defeat this cruel and dreadful disease.
 
Stein Your Florist Co. supports Alzheimer's Disease Awareness and disease research.
One of our online campaigns to raise the awareness of Alzheimer's disease.
We also painted awareness ribbons on our shop windows to show our support.
In addition to our fundraising event we held a penny drive benefiting ADR as well. We collected pennies from the community and began installing a penny floor at our Burlington, NJ location, Steins at Sunset Florist. Our staff and customers donated their pennies, which we glued to the floor, and the funds were donated to ADR. Additionally members of our staff and students from the neighborhood donated their time to help us record the date and mint of each penny to gather “fun facts” about our project. We made monetary contributions for every hour they spent working on our penny floor. The “Penny for your Thoughts” instillation benefiting Alzheimer’s Disease Research was the talk of the town, few people have ever seen that many pennies glued to a floor before!

Our floor benefiting Alzheimer's Disease Research included a medallion hand
laid in pennies as a centerpiece of the room.
Unfortunately, on December 2, 2014 a car crashed into Steins at Sunset Florist, causing massive damage to the store, including tearing up pennies and spilling the car’s fluids over the floor. We are saddened that we will be losing our penny floor in the reconstruction, but are grateful that no one, sans the driver, who will recover, was hurt and that we remain open for business. We are brainstorming ways to pay tribute to our former penny floor in a new benefit for Alzheimer’s disease research.

If we all work together we can raise awareness about this devastating disease and one day find a cure.
