			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This rainy, windy, crazy weather has me stuck in the office today so I figured I would blog a little.  Mary and I have been trying to get really creative lately and come up with new and different ideas.  We like each and every wedding we do to be unique; so we end up spending a lot of time browsing over wedding magazines and reading online blogs.  This past year we have seen a lot of interest from brides on making their place card table stand out from the rest&#8230;an idea we love.  The seating card table is the first thing your guests will see when they enter your reception, so it is important that is set the mood and tone for the party to follow.  Here are a few place card tables we have done and some other ideas I found online that I love&#8230;hope you enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This is <a href="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/south-jersey-wedding-florist-nichole-and-robert-in-woodstown-nj/">Nichole and Rob&#8217;s wedding</a>that we did last year.  We used mason jars to hold manzanita branches which we connected with twine and hung the seating cards with clothes pins. So cute!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_7483.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="410" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">For <a href="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/south-jersey-wedding-florist-scotland-run/">Taralynn&#8217;s wedding</a>we still used the manzanita branches but switched it up by putting them in black vases and placing the seating cards (which were little birds!) right in the branches.  I LOVED this!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/009.jpg" alt="" width="383" height="576" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/top-of-the-tower-philadelphia-wedding-florist-tina-jeremy/">Tina and Jeremy</a> used green as the accent color in their wedding so to make their place card table really pop we used flats of wheat grass to place the cards on.  Some fresh flowers &#8216;growing&#8217; out of the grass sealed the deal <img src='http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Check out the soil&#8230;you can actually see the roots, so cool!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/1055823576_fDrzP-XL.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="328" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This is Mary&#8217;s wedding <img src='http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Since her hubby is a sod farmer we, of course, had to use sod!  We added a some daisies to complete the look.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_0026.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="640" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This is a wedding we just did this past January (sneak peek &#8211; more pics to follow!).  We used these GORGEOUS luminaries as the centerpiece of the place card table, filled with gold manzanita branches, hanging crystals, and fresh flowers.  Pink mercury votives and a golden birdcage (to hold cards!) finished the table.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2374" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/luminary.bmp" alt="" width="576" height="383" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">This photo is courtesy of <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com">Style Me Pretty</a>.  I loved the idea of using a window shutter to hang your place cards!  So original!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/0471.jpg" alt="" width="0" height="0" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/shutter.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="541" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Craspedia is all the rage with brides now and I fell in love with this.  Photo courtesy of <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/">Style Me Pretty.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/craspedia.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="280" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I am all about incorporating fresh fruit with flowers.  Check out these green apples, the guests names and table numbers are printed on the little leaf cutouts that are pinned onto the apples.  Adorable!  Photo courtesy of <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/">Style Me Pretty.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2364" src="http://www.agardenpartyllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/apples.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sooooo excited to share this wedding today. Any one that has read our blog before has read about <a href="http://www.tinajayphotography.com/">Tina</a>. She is a great friend of ours and a truly talented photographer based out of Philly. She has photographed many<a href="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/?s=tina"> weddings </a>that we have done, and has even done <a href="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/something-a-little-different%e2%80%a6/">personal photo shoots</a> of our kids (they love her too!).  When Tina and Jeremy got engaged we knew that their wedding would be one to remember; they know how to have a good time! Tina hired fellow photographer, <a href="http://www.jamiedelaine.com/">Jamie Delaine</a> as her wedding photographer (she flew in from Vancouver Canada for the wedding!) and I was beyond thrilled to see the shots that Jamie caught of Tina and Jeremy&#8217;s wedding day.  Tina knew she wanted a modern wedding with some traditional touches.  This is a couple that LOVES Philadelphia, Jeremy even popped the big question right in <a href="http://www.tinajayphotography.com/blog/2009/11/philadelphi-engagement-pictures/">Rittenhouse Square</a>, so it was no surprise when Tina picked <a href="http://www.topofthetower.com/">Top of the Tower </a>for their wedding to take place.  We used phalaenopsis orchids (we always love an excuse get our hands on these), limes, dahlias, and lots of fun little details to make Tina&#8217;s day extra special.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">We knew Tina would be a gorgeous bride so we had better make a bouquet to match.  I think Mary nailed it with this all white bouquet.  She used dahlias, white polo roses, ranunculus, parrot tulips, brunia berries, maidenhair fern and stephanotis with a rhinestone accent.  We wrapped the bouquet with ivory satin and champagne lace.  A crystal brooch completed it (LOVE!). When ordering her bouquet, Tina said &#8220;I want it to be so big that I can barely fit my hands around it!&#8221; OUR KINDA GAL!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053495442_rHrjm-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Tina sure made for one HOT bride!  STUNNING!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1904" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1049026126_ZoYq8-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Finding the lace for this bouquet took me hours&#8230;I think it was totally worth it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1048934110_kTLwi-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Since their wedding didn&#8217;t take place at a church, we helped define the aisle with these lanterns.  A green cymbidium orchid tucked in the top of these lanterns and a scattering of rose petals were all it took to make their ceremony room glow.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053632749_NccAx-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">To create a backdrop behind the couple as they said their vows we used our pillars filled with curly willow, phalaenopsis orchids, crystals, and hanging mirrors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053638778_pguJP-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The bridesmaids carried bouquets of green cymbidium orchids, parrot tulips, green trachelium, brunia berries, and maidenhair fern.  All the green looked so pretty against their black dresses, but seriously, the flowers can&#8217;t compete with these beauties!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053500601_hbpo6-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Check out this adorable vase we used for their cocktail tables.  We are able to slide in a picture, so Tina gave us a bunch of her engagement pictures to use.  What a great way to get some more use of your engagement photos!  A mound of white dahlias made this the perfect size for the cocktail tables.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055781365_3YDdt-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">For the place card table we covered the table with wheat grass and then added bells of Ireland, ranunculus, maidenhair fern, and cymbidium orchids.  The cards were nestled among the flowers &#8211; so cute!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055823576_fDrzP-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055832481_jCQrq-XL.jpg" alt="" width="0" height="0" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The cake was decorated with bells of irelend and cymbidium orchids &#8211; totally modern and gorgeous!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053625643_k7mM2-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053626262_VWwqF-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">We did not want to compete with the jaw-dropping view at Top of the Tower&#8217;s reception room, so we decided to keep the centerpieces simple. We filled our chic vases with limes (the perfect shade of green) and had stems of phalaenopsis orchids cascading from the top of the vase.  We added a band of black ribbon with a rhinestone brooch to the top, and placed a single flower at every place setting. Only the best for our Tina!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055826924_tMYUd-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Totally amazing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055836820_q9TdT-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">I love, love, love these orchids!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055842743_RXL9f-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /> Tina and Jeremy, you two are such a sweet couple and we really enjoyed doing your wedding flowers and being a part of your day.  Best wishes to both of you on your future together!!!

<p style="text-align: center;">The cake was decorated with bells of irelend and cymbidium orchids &#8211; totally modern and gorgeous!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="1053625643_k7mM2-XL" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053625643_k7mM2-XL.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="1053626262_VWwqF-XL" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1053626262_VWwqF-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We did not want to compete with the jaw-dropping view at Top of the Tower&#8217;s reception room, so we decided to keep the centerpieces simple. We filled our chic vases with limes (the perfect shade of green) and had stems of phalaenopsis orchids cascading from the top of the vase.  We added a band of black ribbon with a rhinestone brooch to the top, and placed a single flower at every place setting. Only the best for our Tina!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="1055826924_tMYUd-XL" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055826924_tMYUd-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Totally amazing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="1055836820_q9TdT-XL" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055836820_q9TdT-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I love, love, love these orchids!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="1055842743_RXL9f-XL" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1055842743_RXL9f-XL.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="768" /> Tina and Jeremy, you two are such a sweet couple and we really enjoyed doing your wedding flowers and being a part of your day.  Best wishes to both of you on your future together!!!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is such a huge honor for Mary and I&#8230;we can&#8217;t seem to wipe the smiles off our faces today. We have been stalking <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/">Style Me Pretty </a>for years. They are one of the biggest wedding blogs out there, so when we submitted a photo shoot that we did with <a href="http://www.denisemabilog.com/">Denise Mabilog</a> we were over the moon to see it had been picked to be featured on Style Me Pretty&#8217;s <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/little-black-book-blog">Little Black Book Blog</a>. Vicki (one of our favorite brides) really stepped up for us and volunteered to wear her wedding dress again in our shoot that took place at Mary&#8217;s brother in law&#8217;s farm. This whole shoot really showcased a lot of what Mary and I love&#8230;.lots of bling (did you see her dress?!?!?), bright colors, and fun flowers. Check it out <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2010/09/23/new-jersey-wedding-inspiration-by-a-garden-party/">here</a>, be sure to leave us a comment! Thank you so much to Style Me Pretty &#8211; this is a dream come true for us!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">We recently met with a bride who is going to use limes in her centerpieces, and I am so excited! For the last few years I have been hoping we would come across a bride who was willing to venture out and do something with fruits. One of Mary&#8217;s best friends grew up on an apple orchard and her wedding featured apple blossoms and apples, it was so romantic and pretty; we have just been waiting for a bride to give us the freedom to go ahead and use some fruit in a wedding again. She is going with a pink and lime green theme, and I just know it is going to be stunning. I was inspired and began hunting down some of the saved photos I have of designs featuring fruit&#8230;.maybe this blog will help to convince other brides to consider using fruit.</p>
