Flowers by Petals Floral Design
Ever wonder what happens to your wedding flowers after your night has ended? If you don’t take them home, they may just be thrown aside as your wedding venue staff clean up. There is another option out there. Petals for Patients has been taking away “gently used” wedding flower arrangements and re-purposing them by creating bouquets to cheer up patients in hospice. How cool is that!!!
Everlasting wedding flowers? While this may initiate thoughts of stiff, fake, silk flowers – let me introduce you to Mark the Occasion Designs. Owner Maggie Joos specializes in unique, eco-friendly, and oh so pretty hand crafted alternatives to fresh floral bouquets. From sheer organza to elegant lace; light-weight tulle to vintage fabrics – Maggie can transform fabric and beading into a wedding floral arrangement that lasts forever. But to really tell the story, you just have to let the pictures speak for themselves.
With the recent snow and cold weather we’ve had, thoughts of Spring have been creeping into my mind. Not to mention my little 1 and a half year old’s newest word is “lellow”! Enjoy these yellow bridal bouquets to help combat the gray-ness of Winter. Make sure to check out our list of Milwaukee florists when searching for your wedding flowers.
There are many florists and floral design artists in Milwaukee, but I can personally attest to one company in particular, Petals Floral Design in Wauwatosa. I used Petals for my own wedding a few years ago, and I’ve had friends use them since. Petals has everything you are looking for in floral design for your wedding – awesome people to work with, willing to stay within a budget and most importantly, beautiful, creative and meticulously designed wedding floral arrangements.
