The colors a bride chooses for her wedding are a personal choice. Yellow has been a fantastic color lately and we wanted to share some photos of this wedding with you. Maybe yellow might be in your future….
The photos are courtesy of Josh Elliott Photography.
Flowers:
July starts out with a bang with the Fourth of July!
Try our Flower Confetti to sparkle the table.
*2 bags red rose petals
*12 white carnations
*10 stems delphinium (or agapanthus) blossoms
Pull carnation petals apart. Take delphinium blossoms off main stems. Scatter rose petals, carnation petals and delphinium blossoms on your party table!
July is also when the horses come to Del Mar. We will be designing the flowers for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club again this year so remember to look at our incredible designs. Here’s a photo of one of them from last year. Check out our “What’s New” and our blog for more pictures when the racing season opens.
If you are planning a party at the Club, remember to have us design your table and or buffet arrangements. Here is the link for the Thoroughbred Club: http://www.dmtc.com/
Plants:
The beginning of July is a good time to re-visit poinsettias. If you put your poinsettia plant outdoors after the holidays, I’m sure it has grown. Now is a good time to prune the plant to keep it bushy and compact. For more information on poinsettia plant care, check out Ecke’s website at http://www.ecke.com/html/h_corp/corp_pntcare.html.
Have you seen our new succulent terrariums? Our designers have been busy. Here’s a sample of one, something unique.
Terrarium Care Instructions:
The succulent garden terrarium is planted in a porous potting mix, to allow for some drainage. The plants require bright light, but not hot, direct sun. Succulents store water in their thick stems. For best results, maintain a moderately dry soil. Water sparingly, approximately 3 teaspoons of water every 7-10 days.
Specials:
WOW! Our beautiful phalaenopsis orchids are on sale! We were able to negotiate a great deal on them and want to pass it on. For the month of July, all the phalaenopsis orchids will be 15% off. Our orchid gardens with phalaenopsis will not be on sale but will be less expensive using these beautiful orchids.
The Brownies of Troop #3104 stopped by Adelaide’s for a tour and some design lessons right before Mother’s Day. After stopping at Adelaide’s they went back and decorated some vases as gifts to their Moms. It brings back so many memories of giving flowers to your Mom to show how much you love her!
Here are some photos and their wonderful thank you letter.
Our designer Nicole, did a great job demonstrating how to create simple designs for the Brownies to use for their arrangements.
Come back! We enjoyed seeing you.
Here at Adelaide’s we are lucky and get to work with many different materials. We used blue “crystals” at a recent charity event. Here are some photos of what that event looked like.
We have also decided to do a display with the blue “crystals” in our store. These “crystals” are not really crystals but are round and soft, similar to marbles. They actually start small and grow when you add water. You can see the smaller size on the right. I’ve also included some other colors.
Here is what our great designers have done, incorporating these blue “crystals” into their designs and display. I hope you like them.
Check out those beautiful blue hydrangeas! An extra treat…
Here’s a photo of some of our employees. You can see the designer on the second to the right, creating another “blue” wonder. Stop by our store to see the crystals in real life. You’ll be amazed.
