The rollercoaster ride of pandemic-era weddings continued in 2021. We worked with our couples to navigate the ups and downs with grace, adjusting course whenever needed. Guest counts reduced at first and then exploded in the summer as everyone itched to let loose and party! One silver lining to pandemic wedding planning is that no one takes it lightly and every decision is made with intention and one careful underlying thought: is this really important to us?
As many elements of weddings shifted, one piece remained important to the ritual of vowing to love another through sickness and health, the bad days and the good days: bridal bouquets. Intimate spontaneous elopement or three-years-in-the-making blow out celebration, a bridal bouquet was a near constant. And 2021 was quite the year for bridal bouquets here at Love ‘n Fresh Flowers, each unique and a reflection of the couple. Each bridal bouquet was also a reflection of our Design Philosophy. And each textural and abundant bridal bouquet featured only flowers grown at our Philadelphia flower farm.
Design Philosophy
- We are enchanted by texture, variety and color. Especially texture.
- We believe that locally-grown flowers are amazingly and heartbreakingly beautiful. Especially those we grow ourselves.
- We love to embrace nature’s simple glory and design our flowers as if they were still growing in the field. Especially if they could grow condensed into a perfect bouquet.
- We rather dislike anything fussy or stuffy. Especially dyed flowers, rhinestones, or imported red roses sold by the dozen.
- We love all things worn with age and love. Especially anything hand-crafted.
- We are perhaps a little obsessive with little details. Perhaps more than a little.
- We use the term “vessel” rather than “vase” because we love piling beautiful blooms into unexpected, often vintage and one-of-a-kind, containers. Especially handmade pottery.
- We love each of the seasons and how they bring a new palette of colors and blooms with them. Because of this, what we do is never boring or stale.
- We love flowers because they are living poetry. We want to live poetically and help you do the same in important celebratory moments and every day life.
- Above all, we are flower fanatics. Especially for the locally grown ones.
Looking forward to all the bridal bouquets (and boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, chuppahs, arbors, etc) that 2022 will bring!
