Summer Wedding Colors
Fresh summer wedding colors for festive bouquets and decorations.
It’s easier than you think to brainstorm your summer wedding color scheme. Summer is one of the most colorful seasons of the year. With flowers in full bloom and dreamy sunsets, the colors of summer are perfect for a wedding. But which ones?
Take a tip from mother nature and think bright or deep hues like the ones that bloom in summer. When you decide on your main color, pick an accent hue as well. These are the colors that you can use for bridesmaid’s dresses, invitations, ribbons, table clothes and even your floral arrangements. Need Summer Wedding color scheme suggestions? Try this list to get the ideas flowing:
Yellows & Golds: Think summer, and many people think of the sun. All tones of yellow and gold work well for summer weddings. Since they are also the color of joy and friendship, their meaning makes the choice even more special. For a cheerful, fresh look, pair the yellow hue with orange and white.
Plums & Purples: The color of royalty, purple is also a reminder of brilliantly arrayed summer gardens and fields. It can be elegant and timeless when paired with silver, cheerful and fun when paired with greens. Or, go with a lighter shade and pair lavender with gold for a bright, cheery scheme.
Magenta to this combination to really brighten up the occasion. If you choose this color combination and you have several bridesmaids, you might decide to have them wear different colored dresses in your color scheme. The same idea might be carried through in programs or dinner menus: one might be printed on green paper with a magenta ribbon, the next on grey paper with a green ribon, and so on.
Shades of Blue: The color of the ocean is also the shade of peace and relaxation. It adds a dreamy, tranquil element to your wedding, as well as a touch of glamour. Try something fun and use Navy Blue which has a nautical, clean feel. You won’t want to introduce too many other colors if using navy, though. Keep it to accents of white and green, as in foliage-green. These hues work well with classic, elegant weddings.
Teal: Not quite blue, not quite green, this is a popular summer wedding choice. Pair it with silver and white for a cool, refreshing color scheme. Pair it with melon pink for a fun tropical feel. Tip: Avoid Teal bridesmaids dresses, it’s a shade that rarely compliments skin of any tone.
Sweet, romantic color- pink. Use with sage and khaki and romance will bloom everywhere. Add to this color pattern other elements of romance: heart-shaped chocolates, strands of small white lights, harp and flute music, programs covered with a sheer top overlay, and lots of candles.
Once you’ve decided on your Summer Wedding colors, let them flow into everything for your wedding day. Weave them into your flowers, the decoration on your cake, even your wedding favors. You will be surprised how many wedding accessories and rentals are available in multiple colors. Here’s a tip: If you choose a fairly common accent color like ivory, white, pink or silver, you’ll be more likely to find matching accessories and rental pieces.
Stick to your color scheme, and when the sun sets on your special day, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm vibes that have been created with your summer wedding color palette.

SAY IT WITH FLOWERS!
In February 7th LATime’s issue we found an article titled “Don’t say it with flowers” which suggests you to buy products from their advertisers such as: Louis Vuitton change purse, Tory Burch pajamas and other high end luxury goods. We say, there is nothing like giving and receiving the most beautiful gift of all – fresh flowers. That special someone will really know your love them, when they receive the most beautiful, elegantly designed blooms.
Roses say it best, but it’s no constellation prize to receive peonies, lilies, orchids or unique couture floral arrangement. At Century City Flower Market we know how to create that look to communicate love. You might also want to spice it up with the box of chocolates or beautiful Mary Frances handmade bag that we have on our website http://centurycityflowermarket.com
Valentine’s Day Flower Delivery Los Angeles
When you consider flower delivery to Los Angeles there are several things to keep in mind. Unlike other parts of the United States, Los Angeles usually maintains a hot climate throughout the year so Valentines Day growing flowers is usually one of the easiest things to do in this area. Local florists spend a lot of time growing flowers in hothouses all across the states but often you can get a discount on flower delivery to Los Angeles because flower growing is more common.
You may want to place your order directly in the flower shop but there are other options when it comes to ordering your flower. Ordering by phone is a great way to order anything these days but the best way is to order flowers online. You can get Valetines Day flower delivery to Los Angeles by ordering online.
Of course stopping in the floral shop is a great way to select and order your flower shop. You get to see the flowers before you purchase them. The bad thing about shopping at the floral shop is the fact that you have to make time to make the time to drive to the shop, park, drive, shop, purchase, and walk back out. In addition, you have to make a decision as to which florist to select. If you do not currently reside in Los Angeles, you may find it difficult to locate the right florist.
If you order your floral arrangement by phone you may run into some problems with your flower delivery to Los Angeles. It is convenient to use the phone to order you do not get to view the flowers that you plan to order.
If you do not reside in Los Angeles but you are ordering your Vlentines Day flowers in that area you can call your local florist and have them arrange the delivery for you. You will not be able to see your bouquet before it is sent to your loved one so you have to trust that the right bouquet will be sent by flower delivery to Los Angeles.
Ordering Valentines Day flowers online is a great way to purchase the arrangement you want to send without leaving your home or office. It is the most popular choice these days and everyone is trusting this way. Ordering online allows anyone around the world to use flower delivery to Los Angeles.

How to keep you Valentine’s day flowers fresh!
Only pick flowers right before placing them in a vase: At the flower shop we consider the lifespan of picked flowers super short; as in under a week. If roses didn’t sell within a week, we send them back to the farm for compost. Flowers after being cut are basically dying right away. If you need a beautiful bouquet for a party, picking your flowers should be something you do right before the event. IF you need open blooms fast, place the flowers in warm water.
Use only clean vases and other containers: Many gardening and floral books say you should only put flowers in bleach cleaned vases. I’m not a bleach supporter, plus research shows that hot water does clean. Your goal is to clean any mold spores out because obviously mold is not good for flowers. Also, after washing rinse your vases well, as soap can change the water conditions.
Never submerge leaves in the water: Any foliage below the water line should be removed because they can introduce bacteria and slime you don’t want to the water, which in turn smells funky and can killflowers.
Cut flowers like room temp: Flowers hate being on something hot; i.e. a too sunny window, on top of an appliance, and so on. They also don’t love drafts. Try to keep your vases placed in an area that’s moderate.
Hardy stems need a good smashing: If you pound on the ends of woody or thick stems – think lilacs they can absorb more water and last longer.
The best food is flower food: While you may hear rumors about pennies, bleach, and other stuff making flowers last longer, the best choice is actual cut flower food; or so every single flower shop and nursery worker I’ve known has said. If you buy at a flower shop, you usually get a small packet. If you pick flowers at home, you can buy some flower preservatives at a local nursery or home & garden shop.
Valentine’s Day flowers meaning
The Society of American Florists helps you sort out what the meanings behind flowers. Good thing too, because Valentine’s Day is the last day you’d want to give your sweetheart flowers that stand for distrust (Lavender) or friendship (pink rose) if you’re looking for something more than friendship. Not that Lavender doesn’t rock in a Valentine’s bouquet though – the meanings list is more fun than serious.

What would the most passionate, heartfelt day of the year be without Valentine’s Day flowers? Fragrant long-stemmed red roses. A posy of pretty pink blossoms. Sure, candy and paper hearts are nice. But there’s nothing quite so beautiful and ethereal – so capable of expressing love – as a Valentine’s Day bouquet!

Wedding Ring Trends
 |
 |
 |
|---|---|---|
The elegant pave setting — with tiny, faceted, fully cut stones that surround the entire wedding band — is the perfect way to get added sparkle without looking too outlandish. |
The subtle and delicate look of vintage-inspired rings is in. The defining details: minimal scroll-like engraving, microset (tiny, half-point) diamonds, delicate milgrain work (raised beaded edges), and filigree. |
Two, three, or more bands “stacked” together make a terrific statement. The look is modern and flexible (wear it with your engagement ring or without) and the best part is that you can start with one and he’ll have anniversary gift possibilities for the next few years. |
