Stoneblossom's Newsletter May 2006
  Here it is- our first newsletter of 2007. As always, winter was a little too long, but spring has definitely sprung here at Stoneblossom! We're starting to burst at the seams with gorgeous flowering branches and other "spring-only" flowers. September brides, be jealous! Here's what's going on at the shop...  
 
Amaryllis   In Bloom!

Something new AND something blue! Muscari, or grape hyacinth, is one of nature's first signs of spring. With a lovely fragrance, and an even lovelier hue, these delicate flowers are great in spring bridal arrangements, and fulfill that blue requirement that is often hard to come by!

Month

A Bud Vase!

Ever find yourself truly in awe of nature's perfection? Showcase the beautiful simplicity of a single blossom in a interesting bud vase and let the flower itself tell a story. The key words to consider when choosing a winning vase and blossom combo are balance and proportion. For instance, create visual interest with a glass container that opens to the side for long stemmed blossoms. Perfect for cocktail tables, or other areas where you want to make a strong statement, quietly.

"What are the upcoming trends in floral design for summer 2007?"

With more of an emphasis being put on health and well being, we are starting to see green dominate color palettes. Designs are taking on a more modern aesthetic, mimicking the simplicity of a spa-like setting. Clear glass and water have become key elements in creating a sanctuary for guests to feel pampered. There are plenty of interesting green flowers available in the summer, including green cymbidium orchids, Bells-of-Ireland, green spider mums, lady slipper orchids, Green Goddess calla lilies, green antherium, and jade roses. Experiment with the natrual healing power of aromatherapy with fresh green herbs such as spearmint, rosemary, lambs' ear, oregano, or scented geranium leaves. Use soft colors such as lilac-ash and illusion-blue to offset this palette beautifully.
