Prom Flowers - Knoxville TN

Prom Time in Knoxville

Its time to start thinking PROM!

Knoxville TN, is a town where prom girls know what they want! We usually set up what we refer to as the "Prom Bar" at our flower shop. This Prom Bar consists of all of our ribbons, wristlets and bling displayed for girls to pick out exactly what they want. The girls bring in their dresses and we help them pick out the perfect flowers, ribbon and bling to match their overall prom look! It is a lot of fun and some of the girls get really creative with their wristlets. The best part is that the flowers are on bracelets and the girls can keep them after the dance!

 Prom 2012 was great for Lisa Foster Floral Design since we had some of our prom girls send us pictures! We usually just get wedding photos, so when we got these prom pictures we were so excited. If you have pictures from prom of our work PLEASE send them our way! (lisa@lisafosterdesign.com) 

Lisa Foster Floral Design can add just about any kind of bling to wristlets. Its great to mix it up and do wire, jewels or even feathers! We've done just about anything so Knoxville girls don't have to be stuck with the same old prom wristlet (JUST SAY NO TO CARNATIONS). Wrap the boutonniere in wire to match the wristlet. 

White dendrobium orchids make excellent wristlets and boutonnieres! They last a long time and are different from typical roses.  Spray roses are the standard go-to flower for wristlets, they hold up well and come in a lot of different colors.

We look forward to being a part of the 2013 Prom season! If you know someone going to prom please send them our way. To place orders or to get more information please call our studio 865-951-0660 and ask for a designer!

Knoxville Weddings - Spring Brides

Knoxville Tennessee - Spring Weddings

Reflecting On Past Lisa Foster Floral Design Spring Weddings

Gearing up for spring weddings has caused us to reflect on some of our favorites from years past. As florists in Knoxville, we tend to drool at the thought of peonies, dogwood trees in bloom, tulips and irises. Knoxville is about to explode with beautiful colors, flowers and fresh green grass! Though our abundance of trees can cause our cars to turn yellow and our allergies to act up we really live in a beautiful city. 
April really kicks off our wedding season with outdoor weddings and receptions. 
One of our all time favorite weddings was in April 2012. Ann Bryant was married at a primitive baptist church in Cade's Cove. Nestled in the Smoky Mountains this picturesque setting is perfect for any southern bride.

Stepping back even further let us show off our MOST expensive bridal bouquet... of all time! It happened by accident but just let this serve as a FYI lady slipper orchids are very, very expensive. What a beautiful bride and beautiful bouquet, it doesn't get much better than classic white and crisp greens!

It's hard to believe almost two years has pasted since our friend Julie Roberts was married. She is one-of-a-kind and her wedding was an excellent reflection of that unique sweet personality! Julie spent hours, and hours hand-making bud vases for her centerpieces. Not only is she a talented photographer but she is all around awesome!

If you asked any of the florists in Knoxville, I'm sure they would say that spring weddings open the door for a multitude of floral possibilities.  We can't WAIT to see photos of the 2013 spring wedding season! Bring it on photog friends!

Wedding Flowers - Tussie-Mussie

Wedding Flowers - Tussie-Mussie - Mother of the Bride

Various options for Mother of the Bride (and Groom)

When it comes to Mother of the Bride wedding flowers, they really have the most to choose from. Ranging from very inexpensive to moderately priced there are all sorts of things one could do as a nice gesture for the Mothers of the...
Pin-on corsages, wristlets, hand-tied bouquet and single stem flowers... sometimes even clutch purse corsages! Lets talk about tussle-mussies which have been around for centuries! There are a variety of ways to spell tussie-mussie (tussy mussy...etc.). Queen Victoria started the term tussie-mussie when these small floral bouquets became a fashion accessory. Prior to this, these small bouquets were commonly referred to as a nosegay (and still are in some circles!).

There are a multitude of flowers that can be used in a tussle-mussie. Typically, we use either spray roses, lilies often times filler flowers work really well.  Once we put the flowers in the holder they are cut off from water so its wise to use flowers that do well in corsages and boutonnieres. We always tie these in with the rest of the wedding flowers used.

Tussie-Mussie being used for a second time.
This is an example of the ability to use a Tussie - Mussie more than once. This mother of the bride had another daughter get married in 2011, now in 2013 she gets to add another charm to her keepsake! 

 Tussie - mussies are very classy, victorian and often times something different from the traditional pin-on or wristlet. It's a gift in and of itself and looks great in a curio cabinet or breakfront with other keepsakes. For more information about pricing or flowers that work well in tussle-mussies please give us a call!
