And the 2017 Favorite is...

Greens, greens and more greens!!

This was the most popular trend throughout our 2017 wedding year! It didn't matter the season, whether it was those hot summer days or those crisp fall evenings, the green and white bouquets were a hit!!

Brides pick this palette because it goes well with any other color they wish to incorporate into their wedding! Our brides used accent colors such as: lavender-grey; burgundy; and various shades of blue and pink.

Every bouquet looked astonishing.

One of our brides wanted her bridesmaid's bouquets to include the green and white color palette, but wanted her bouquet to stand out! She pulled from her accent colors and added burgundy into her bouquet, which gave it that dramatic splash of color she wanted.

Another one of our brides opted for all greenery bouquets for her bridesmaids, while she added a little bit of color into her bouquet. It was absolutely breathtaking!

As you can see green and white is IN... and it's in to stay!

We are perfectly content with this craze, even though all of these brides used green and white in their bouquets...they all look completely different, yet beautiful! You simply cannot go wrong with this romantic and timeless color palette.

Thank you to our beautiful brides!!

Emergency Floral 9-1-1!

Lisa Foster Floral Design … To The Rescue

Fixing An Amateur Disaster

Knoxville Tn florist Lisa Foster Floral Design had the opportunity to help a desperate bride and her trusty maid-of-honor on the day of her wedding. The situation was that the bride had gone to another local florist to book her wedding bouquet and on the day of her wedding the bouquet she was given was nothing like the bouquet she originally ordered.

There are times in the floral industry when a particular flower isn't available or it comes in, in a different shade than expected but an experienced florist would have known how to make a substitution. This was not the case with this bride.

Lisa Foster Floral Design, has done other re-do bouquets from other places before but this was worth taking the time to discuss. Here are a few things to remember when choosing a florist for your wedding. Florists will usually work with a budget if brides mention that they have one. Lisa Foster Design takes pride at being able to work with any bride, with any budget.

There are times when we have to show realistic ideas of what flowers can work within a particular budget. However, there are still beautiful flowers out there that don't cost a ton of money. Incorporating these flowers into wedding arrangements can often times help with overall cost.

Another great thing to keep in mind for choosing wedding flowers is picking someone with experience and know-how. Lisa has worked in the floral industry for over 20 years (and on top of that she is a perfectionist). Flower arrangements do not leave the studio unless it looks amazing! This includes everyday orders, Christmas decorating, and all other work we do. The big question Lisa Foster Designers ask ourselves is, "would I like to receive this arrangement?" if the answer is no then we re-do it.

There are a lot of great florists around Knoxville. We have great relationships with most of them and if there is ever a time when we can't do something we have no problem referring our customers to our other florist friends.

Here are photos of the before and after of the rescued bouquet.

BEFORE: There was no design to this bouquet

BEFORE: The one pin that was used was sticking out the other side, and poking the brides hands

BEFORE: The sheer ribbon was glued, and the ends were anything but finished.

BEFORE: Many of the flowers were bruised and wilted.

BEFORE: The color scheme the bride was looking for was pinks and oranges.

BEFORE

AFTER: We added orange and hydrangeas

AFTER: By swapping out the greenery for a premium greenery really makes a difference.

AFTER: We were able to use some of the previous flowers throughout the new.

AFTER: The result, a happy, happy maid-of-honor!

We always say our goal is to have happy brides, because happy brides are what it's all about!

Boutonnieres

Boutonnieres, Too Much or Just Right?

Knoxville TN, Florist - Lisa Foster Floral Design

Boutonnieres Love Them Or Leave Them Out...

Boutonnieres are one of those wedding details that some love and others love to hate. If done right can add such wonderful detail to photos. Many times they are just an afterthought, a fast add-on that doesn't steal the show (like the bridal bouquet). However, there are times when the boutonnieres are just awesome!

Did you know, that there are boutonniere does and do nots? For example... If you are not planning on having a jacket with a lapel than there is no need for a boutonniere! Yes, boutonnieres are meant for lapels, otherwise they are not needed!

Also, if you plan to do a boutonniere than there is no need for a pocket square! If you have a pocket square there is no need for a boutonniere!

Another great thing to keep in mind is that greenery goes on the back, not in front! Many times we see wedding pictures with the greenery on the front instead of the back!
