As many of you know, we are designing the florals for our very good friend in the industry, Laura Goforth from Russell Morin Fine Catering. While we can't give away all of our secrets for the upcoming wedding this weekend, we just had to share one of the fabulous flowers we ordered from Thailand.
Our flower of the week is...... the GORGEOUS VANDA ORCHID!!!
The Vanda Orchid is totally tropical, coming specifically from the warm islands of the South Pacific. They prefer full sun exposure, warm temperatures, lots of watering and lots of humidity. They have long, trailing roots that draw moisture and nutrients from the atmosphere.
There are many size and marking variations on these exotic orchids. The Vanda Orchid flowers are saucer sized, flat blooms with an extremely heavy substance and a crystalline texture that seems to glisten in the light. They can be spotted, etched, cross hatched or solid in their coloring and also have a powerful fragrance.
These orchids are just beautiful paired with other blooms and definitely make a statement by themselves as well.
We cannot wait to showcase our florals this weekend at the botanical garden and showcase our very special Vanda Orchid! Here's a sneak peak at one centerpiece style (sshhhh, don't tell Laura!):
j'adore fleurs! This centerpiece is so whimsy and fun!
