Calling all Brides…It’s getting to be that time again. Our annual Wedding Show. We traditionally have it here at the shop on Superbowl Weekend.

Our Superbowl of Wedding Shows will take place on the same weekend as the NFL Superbowl. This wedding show is usually the most involved of our quarterly wedding shows. We highlight six to eight different approaches of floral decor for all the seasons of the year. You’ll find bouquets, personal flowers, ceremony and reception examples in various color directions and budget ranges.
The show is great for us. The store has lot’s of room as we put away the last few remnants of the Christmas season, prepare for Valentines Day and the upcoming Spring holiday and gardening season. It is one of our most successful marketing programs of the year. We get to be the customer and the designer!!! Now how often do you think that happens? It’s a great opportunity for us to experiment with different color mixes and textures. Our sole focus is to highlight our creativity and display the depth of the talent you’ll find here at Cedar Grove Gardens.
We have a very talented group of people here with combined experience of well over 100 years in the floral business. I’ve been doing floral design at Cedar Grove Gardens for over thirty years now. I still learn new things on a regular basis from the gifted people that work alongside of me. My hair is gray now but my ideas are just as crisp as they were when I started ! This must be because the staff hasn’t put me out to pasture yet!! (I’m sure they are reading this and saying “maybe it’s time.”)
We invite you to come by and see our ideas of various design and color approaches. We’ll be here to discuss how you might begin planning for your special event. You’ll appreciate our low key sales style. Bring a camera, talk to a photographer. Have a glass of wine or water, nibble on some cheese, get info on catering. Pick up info on some of our favorite venues that we have worked with. Who knows maybe you’ll meet a dj?
There is no cost and no obligation and we’ll be running a great promotion for people that eventually book with us as a result of attending this show. The possibilities are left to one’s imagination!
Last weekend was our largest wedding show of the year! This seasons wedding show was well attended and gave us the opportunity to display our creative skills. We created this forsythia archway to act as a focal point. It is a great opportunity to view numerous possibilities for everything floral used during a wedding celebration.From simple and clean to distinctive and elaborate, this year’s show offered numerous possibilities.
More photos of our wedding show that do a great job of showing the rich detail and color that we are recognized for!
We aren’t afraid to use bold strong color or work with a softer pallette and convey the message you want to send.
You see versions of high centerpieces and stand possibilities as well as bouquets such as this with hypericum berries & roses.
Who would have thought that a simple bouquet of Carnations or Stock could pack such an elegant punch of color!
Flower Girl pomanders and floral baskets were also on display.
These bouquets of hydrangea, roses and grasses offer ideas that coordinate with the following photos of a table landscape appropriate for a seaside celebration!
Sometimes the simpler aspects offer great opportunity for detail. These bouts and corsages do a great job of showing that the possibilities are endless!
Pictures from our Evening of Inspiration held on November 5. Over eighty people joined us for two enjoyable, informative and entertaining evenings. The evenings featured fine wine from Esprit du Vin, fine foods from Gourmet Caterer and sensible and approachable table decor and container gardening approaches for the upcoming season. Lisa continues to wow with simple and clean suggestions, while Bob DelBove and John Mazzone made clear that the garden season enters it’s fourth season with lots of options for exterior color. Richard followed up with various comments and the finale.
