Tropical Orchids

Tropical flowers can add an exotic flair to your wedding floral decor. None are so outrageously colorful as the orchid.

Orchids come in a vast array of colors and combinations of colors. Are tyour wedding colors lime green and plum? yellow and orange? pink and yellow? green and red? All of these and thousands of others are available in natural fresh orchids. Should you decide to use artificial flowers there really is no limit to the color combinations available.

Orchids are far sturdier than their delicate appearance would lead one to believe. That sturdiness is of great value when arranging and carrying these lovely blossoms on your big day.

Elegant Dinner Reception



An emerging trend in wedding reception planning is the elegant dinner party as opposed to the more traditional reception which featured dancing (and often massive alcohol consumption).


This new focus on elegance has several benefits, not the least of which is the bridal couple can afford higher quality food and can spend more time visiting with guests when the dancing/drinking portion of the reception is omitted.


An assortment of delicious appetizers and signature cocktails served during the cocktail hour prior to dinner sets the mood and keeps guests circulating. Following the cocktail hour, guests are invited into the dining room where they will be ushered to gorgeously decorated tables.


For a fun twist on the classic buffet, food stations will be distributed around the room - again, to keep guests mingling and visiting. Guests will have their choice of several types of entrees and accompaniments.


The finale of the evening will feature several dessert selections including a fabulous wedding cake.
