A Blissed-out Bride’s Tale: How Wedding Flowers Changed My Life

My wedding day was the happiest day of my life.  Really.  Even today, almost 9 years later, all I need to do to feel a tingle of pure joy is remember that day.  Besides the sublime wonder of officially becoming family with my fantastic husband, it was amazing to be surrounded by family and dear friends, to be wearing a gorgeous dress, and carrying the most spectacular wedding bouquet in the world.

Big Apple Florist Welcomes Georgeann to Our Blog!

I recently rejoined the team here at Big Apple Florist and I’ve been entrusted to become the next Big Apple Florist Blogger. I hope in the coming months to educate, inform and entertain you! I am passionate about flowers and I love to share my enthusiasm, so I am going to try to use this blog to introduce the general public to the fascinating world of flowers and plants.

About me:
Since 2003 I have worked in many aspects of the floral industry from sales, to design, to management. I first worked at Big Apple in 2007 as primary flower buyer and a floral designer. I left for a few years to try out some other flower studios, recently even making the excursion out to the farthest reaches of northern Queens! And now I’ve happily returned to Big Apple Florist. I’ve had lots of different floral jobs, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and insight.

My favorite aspect of my work, besides just seeing the flowers, is working with customers. I like to get to know people, so I can try to create an arrangement that is really going to make the best impression. [Read more →]

New York Wedding Flowers: Summer Color Schemes

Summer in New York! Weddings! Flowers! It’s that time of year, and one of the main concerns of the bride and groom (other than living happily ever after together) is that their wedding and reception flow nicely. That flow includes timing, seating, m

usic, and décor.

One of the main things that can make or break your wedding décor is your color scheme. You can pick as many colors as you want, but more colors always means more variables to juggle – and depending on your ability to multitask, you may want to just pick one or two colors.
