Sunflowers for Summer
Sunflowers can add the perfect touch to your outdoor party this summer. The best part? No vases necessary! You'll cut cost and cleanup by creating a runner using just the heads of these beautiful, bright flowers. Check out the photos from this week's dinner reception.

Family: Hydrangeacaea
Common Names: Hydrangea, Hortensia
Description: Hydrangeas are native to southern and eastern Asia (particularly China, Japan and Korea) and North and South Ameirica and bloom in early spring to late autumn. Hydrangeas come in various shapes and sizes: they range from shrubs to small trees and round flowerheads (image a cheerleader's pom-pom) to round, flat flowerheads.
Popular Uses: Hydrangeas are known as ornamental plants- great for decorating your home. In Japan, the flower is used to create an herbal tea called ama-cha, or "sweet tea," which is mainly used in a ceremony to celebrate Buddha's birthday (April 8th in Japan) where the tea is poured over a statue of Buddha in and then served to those in attendance. In Asia, it's not always necessary to say "I love you"; just send a loved one a bouquet of pink Hydrangeas to tell them, "You are the beat of my heart" (Keep this in mind for your upcoming anniversary!).
A Traditional Indian Wedding in NYC
A traditional Indian wedding in Manhattan? Oh, yes. With vibrant golds, pinks, purples, blues and greens, peacock feathers and our first entirely floral peacock, we transformed 583 Park, a gorgeous event venue on the Upper East Side, into a magical Bollywood kingdom.
