We love vine lights!

Extending from our post last week, another great way to have beautiful centerpieces without having to spend a fortune on flowers is to use vine lights.  Vine lights are delicate battery operated lights that are on thin wires.  They can be wrapped around branches, submersed in water, weaved through flowers or used on their own to create a soft whimsical feel.  They also come in a variety of colors, making these a very versatile centerpiece option.

Currently, we're working on a couple weddings that will be incorporating vine lights into their centerpieces, and we're just so excited about them!  Not only do we get to being a couple's vision to life, but WE also get to play around with different styles and options to create something beautiful. Stay tuned for photos from those weddings down the road!

Did you know?

Expressive Events and Décor has been creating memorable events for over 20 years, but did you know that all the flowers for those events are done in-house?  This means that all bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centrepieces, ceremony flowers, and other floral accents are all designed and brought to life by our talented in-house floral designers.  This also means that instead of having multiple contracts with multiple vendors, you only need one contract for all your décor and flower needs! 


Including flowers at your event doesn’t always have to come with a high price tag either!  We pride ourselves on working within a client’s budget while still being able to create something beautiful.  Often we can do a combination of just a few flowers and some candlelight to alleviate the cost of multiple large floral arrangements.  We are always willing to work with you to create the event of your dreams, without costing you your life’s savings.  Just set up a complimentary consultation with us to see what we can do for you!

Wedding Trends 2017: Geometrics

As we gear up for wedding season, we are noticing an emerging trend that is rapidly gaining popularity: geometrics.  This is a trend that has us just so excited, because it means that we get to experiment and play with some cool new ideas.  It’s such a fun and modern twist to bring to a wedding, and it can be incorporated into a variety of themes ranging from urban to rustic.  Love metallic elements?  This is another way to incorporate metallics into your event without being overpowering.  This idea can also easily be transformed into a corporate event, where you can use less flowers and more candlelight so its also a very versatile trend that we just can’t get 
enough of! 

We’ve already started building our inventory of cool geometric items in anticipation of the trend, but we’re always on the hunt for more, and for couples that are as passionate as we are about this theme.  Seen something cool online and you want to make it a reality at your next event?  Drop us a line, and we will see what we can do about making your vision come to life.  It’s always easier to justify buying new inventory to the accountant when we actually have an event to shop for!  Whether this trend lasts or is just a fad, we’re happy that it’s here for now and that we get to share it with you.
