Michelle Obama's Gown by Jason Wu
When I saw Michelle Obama's gown which she wore to the Neighborhood Inauguration Ball, I was WOWED! So I researched the designer and his name is Jason Wu who is only 26 years old!
He combines modern life style dressing with the spirit and detailing of haute couture in a way that is both innovative and romantically reflective. Some of his gowns could definitely be wedding gowns and bridesmaid gowns. Love it all!

Save the Date Cards
New on Blossom Accents... Save the Date Cards. All with a simply elegant floral theme.
Save the Date Card TIPS!
*Regardless of the size of your wedding, save the dates should be sent out 6-12 months prior to your wedding day. If you're having a destination wedding, the sooner you send them out the better.
* Save the date cards are meant to be much less formal than the wedding invitations, but they should be informative. Include your names, the date, time, and location. Some feel the save the date should match the wedding invitation, but that is completely discretionary so if you want to have fun with it, go for it!
*If you're having a destination wedding, the save the dates should be much more revealing. Include hotel and airline information including phone numbers and any special rates or packages if applicable, rental car companies, a schedule of events (so guests know how long to book their travel), and the location of your wedding site.
*Before you send the save the date, hammer out your guest list. There's no turning back after someone has been invited, so be certain that you won't be making any adjustments to your list.

Summer 2009 Wedding Trends
Colored Gemstone and Diamond Wedding Rings If you still haven't found the perfect wedding ring, skip the classic white set of diamonds for something embellished with a splash of color. According to WhiteLaceWedding.com, the summer bride will be an atypical ring, sporting a color-infused rock such as sapphire, ruby, topaz, garnet or emerald. Match this theme with jewel tones for the bridesmaid troupe and you'll be well on your way to capturing one of the season's top wedding trends.

I love this photograph! It's so feminine and romantic. Anyways, the bouquet on this photo is a design by Beautiful Blooms, a stylish bouquet and event designer company located in Pennsylvania. One of their signature touches is the addition of butterfly accessories to floral arrangements or bouquets in the most unexpected and surprising places even in the most elegant designs. Love it!

Most Popular Wedding Flower Choices... continuation
Casablanca Lillies They have large, flat blooms which take up quite a bit of surface area and can really fill out a bouquet. Some people delight in the Casablanca lily's strong fragrance but others are allergic to it. One of my favorites is the white color with red interior Casablanca Lilly... soon coming to my invitation portfolio.
Gardenias are available all year. These richly scented flowers are a favorite among many brides. Available in many colors and are also wonderful when floated in shallow bowls as center pieces.
Orchids are available year round depending upon their variety though their prices are subject to great fluctuation. Orchids are sensitive to cold and may bruise or drop blooms with rough handling during shipping. However, if the orchids reach the florist in great shape they can be tough as nails! Orchids are resistant to moisture loss and heat so they make great bouquet and body flowers.
Listed are some of the most frequently chosen flowers for weddings, but of course we have about a few hundred more to choose from. Hope you got inspired!

Most Popular Wedding Flower Choices
Are you having trouble picking a wedding flower? Here is a list of some of the most common flowers seen at weddings.
Roses A rose is a symbol of beauty and love. They are available in many colors and shapes, anything from full to slender blossoms. Available during every season of the year.
Tulips A tulip signifies "happy years". Available in a wide variety of colors and shapes through out most seasons. A mostly affordable choice for any bride. Mostly seen during spring and summer weddings.
Calla Lillies Also known as the arum lily, this elegant, trumpet-shaped blossom originated in Africa and symbolizes "magnificent beauty" in the language of flowers.
Hydrangeas With its big bushy head and intense shades of pink, blue, burgundy, and purple, it's no wonder that the hydrangea represented "vanity" in the Victorian language of flowers. One of the most popular varieties changes in color as it grows from bubble-gum pink to sky blue, depending on the acid level of the soil. Two or three blossoms and you have a magnificent bouquet.
Sweet Peas The sweet pea, which signifies "lasting pleasure," was first brought to England from Sicily in 1699, and the English have had a love affair with this delicate flower ever since. It's candy-like scent and ruffled blossoms make this an old-fashioned favorite in bouquets for the bride and her bridesmaids. Colors range from white to intense pinks and purples, and it's scent can be strong and sweet.
