Three Ways To Style Mini Bouquets
Once upon a time, bridal bouquets were sweet, delicate things. You can thank Queen Victoria for that, since she was the one who introduced a small clutch of flowers as a formal accessory (and also gave us the white wedding dress).

How Slow Flowers Make Great Weddings
We’re always eager to give our brides and grooms as much information as possible on the flowers we’ll be using for their wedding. We’re happy to talk about source. We love to discuss type.

There’s nothing sweeter than the moment the smallest member of the wedding party takes the aisle, whether she sticks to her duties or not. But there are more ways to put flowers in her hands (and […]

We’re Wild For Wreaths
We can’t say enough here at Griffin’s Floral Design about the wreath trend, except to say that we saw it coming. Green garlands have been dressing reception tables for several years now, the garden-inspired wedding trend is here to stay, and those-in-the-know predict forest-inspired ceremonies are up next. Why wouldn’t wreaths be bigger than ever, […]
Flowers For The Furriest Members Of The Wedding Party
Trust us, there’s nothing cuter, sweeter and more welcome in a wedding than the appearance of everybody’s favorite loyal companion. Dogs introduce a lot of warmth and personality to your nuptials, and depending on their temperament can be suited to a variety of roles, from tail-wagging greeter to ring bearer.
