Flower Arranging Birthday Party Featured on Style Me Pretty

Ara recently styled a cocktail and flower arranging Birthday Party that was being thrown by Gabriella New York. Guests were greeted with delicious champagne and cheese platters. Rountree Flowers was on hand to teach a class at this fabulous feminine party! Check out some images below...

The cake was made by Lael Cakes -- doesn't it go perfectly with our party?

We used vintage teacups as vases for the flowers, however any and all types of glasses, cups, and bottles found in your home can be used to create a unique and fabulous arrangement!

The finished products were beautiful! Each guest took home their teacup arrangement in a personalized box. The beautiful photography was captured by Moss + Isaac and the birthday cake was made by Lael Cakes.

Patterned & Printed Wedding Ideas

We know incorporating pattern into your wedding can be a bit intimidating, but when done correctly, it can add tons of style, elegance and fun! Take a look at some tips on how to incorporate patterns and prints...

Set the tone for your patterned wedding with a fun invitation like this chevron print via The Knot

Your cake is a great way to introduce pattern -- inspiration colors should come from the base colors used in your wedding.

 Stick with one pattern and incorporate it in multiple areas & colors for a united look. Also, choose a more simplified pattern or print so you don't overwhelm the table.

A printed aisle runner can add a great splash of color and a dash of elegance too!

I love these escort card/party favors! They are another great source for incorporating pattern into your wedding!
