If you’re beginning to plan your wedding, you’ve likely discovered that choosing flowers is a challenging task. The experts at Bloomin’ Bouquets can simplify the process by creating unique arrangements based on your vision. In this Vendor Spotlight, head designer JoAnn Jones discusses her creative inspiration for Bloomin’ Bouquets, as well as a few tips about the company.

Where are you located?

All of Bloomin’ Bouquets creative work happens in our studio in Roswell, but we meet most of our clients at StudioWed or at their venue.

Do you offer services to clients outside of Atlanta?

Many of our brides have moved away from home for college and their careers, but they like to come home to Atlanta to celebrate with family.  It is easy to share creative ideas over long distance with ease through the internet and Pinterest.

How far in advance should clients begin meeting with you?

One year before their wedding, some have even started planning two years before their wedding. There are peak times for the Atlanta area, after Easter during spring, April and May, is beautiful and the weather is so wonderfully cool, so Bloomin’ Bouquets is pretty busy.  During the fall, October, around the south we book quickly on dates that our footballs teams are playing away games.

When did you know you wanted to become a floral designer?

JoAnn Jones, floral designer with Bloomin’ Bouquets has been interested in art her whole life.  It is an intense view of the world.  Flowers are now my palette of colors to create living art through bouquets.

What is your favorite floral design trend at the moment?

Bloomin’ Bouquets’ clients are unique and use succulent for casual and extravagant weddings.  Succulents have that unusual blue green color and smooth texture. Succulents change color when the days are shorter and the temperature falls, turning to a soft pink some are deep eggplant. Succulents can blend well with the unique texture of fall dahlias.   We are also seeing a trend towards mixing metals. The mixing of the metals makes for such a great, unique look.  CANDLES, we love to use lots of candles to create a soft, romantic look.  Is there ever enough candlelight?

Do you have a favorite flower?

Bloomin’ doesn’t have a favorite flower or a favorite color.  Or even a favorite style!  They all work differently together and next to each other. I am always looking for combinations of color and texture for flowers, linen and even in the event spaces.  This is called ‘juxtaposition’ the instance of placing things close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.

What makes your service unique?

Bloomin’ Bouquets is a unique floral and event design company that combines classic creativity with innovation to bring our clients a unique approach to each floral design.

Atlanta has remarkable floral talent ranging across many styles, we all respect our family and what we have learned from them.  Flowers evoke many emotions from the roses your grandmother grew to the smell of wildflowers during a hike.  We pride ourselves on listening to our client’s ideas. We value our relationships with our clients and vendors who work together and pulling it all together to create that one look for your special day!

What is something that most people don’t know about you or your business?

We began this business as “older” ladies just hoping to create a hobby that would keep us busy as our children had grown and left the proverbial nest.  However that “hobby” has turned into a full fledged business and we couldn’t be prouder.

Where can I contact you to learn more about Bloomin’ Bouquets?

Call us 770-355-1323. We also like for our brides to fill out the ‘Consultation Form’ on the Bloomin’ Bouquets website: www.bloominbouquets.com .  Email us photos of ideas and your dress!  This helps us think of ideas that will fit your dreams.

No two weddings are exactly alike; everything from the couples’ clothes to their cake can reflect their unique personality. Why should their wedding stationery be any different? If you need anything on paper (or even engraved in wood), Hi Note can create exclusive designs that you and your guests will treasure for years to come. Here are just a few of our personal favorites.

1. Urban Chic Stationery Suite

If you don’t prefer the lace and frills of a traditional wedding, stationery such as Hi Note’s Urban Chic suite would be a great way to showcase your unconventional style. The red and gold accents blend beautifully with the dark, gritty theme for a design that stands out from the crowd.

2. Champagne Flute Escort Cards

Whether you want to save a bit of table space or just want something different, these escort cards will add an extra element of sophistication to your wedding reception.

3. Passport Wedding Invitations

This passport inspired invitation set is perfect for a destination wedding. From the vibrant colors to the laser cut accents, your loved ones will wish they could use these as the real thing.

4. Wood Engravings

Wood engravings can add a rustic touch to the atmosphere of your reception. Whether they’re used as table numbers or a decorative medallion, these engravings would serve as the perfect conversation piece.

5. Watercolor Floral Suite

From the moment they open the envelope, your guests won’t be able to take their eyes off of this whimsical floral design. The gold accents and textured wood pattern in the background add a sophisticated flair to this already beautiful invitation.

If you’re inspired by Hi Note’s designs and would like one of your own, email Erin Palermo to set up an appointment. Be sure to check out Hi Note on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see what goes on behind the scenes!

If you want to capture the excitement and happiness of your wedding day, having beautiful pictures that you can cherish in the future is definitely a necessity. Janet Howard Studio combines emotional influence with cutting edge style to tell the full story of your big day.

As the winner of the Two Bright Lights Editor’s Choice Award and Wedding Wire Bride’s Choice Awards in 2012, Janet Howard’s photography is highly acclaimed throughout the wedding planning community. Her studio also has its own magazine filled with tips and inspiration, which is available to read here.

Here are what a few the couples who used this talented photographer had to say about her via Wedding Wire:

“Janet Howard is an incredibly talented photographer! She captures all the emotions and details of a wedding day in a way that tells a complete story. She also has a great eye for the special shots that take your breath away. Having Janet photograph your wedding feels like having another family member along for the celebration. She’s the best!”

“There are those who take pictures and there are those who embody moments. Janet embodies the moment – time and time again. Her photographs are bold, bright and beautiful. I feel like I can reach out and touch the photo, travel back in time and relive our wedding day over and over again. She was concerned with me not only as her customer, not only as a bride, but as a person. She kept in constant contact with me throughout the entire process. 

“Janet doesn’t look for cookie-cutter poses, instead she looks for fleeting moments and cements them into forever memories. The raw emotions that she captured in her camera lens conjure up several emotions. The main two? Happy tears. However ironic that is, one thing is for certain – Janet Howard is the best around!”

“Janet was a godsend! After a less than desirable experience with another photographer, we had to scramble and found Janet about a month before our wedding. And wow, what a difference! Her work is second to none and her professionalism in unmatched. She really has a knack for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was beautifully displayed in our engagement and wedding photos. Her eye framed the shots perfectly and captured the true essence and emotion of our wedding. We are so happy that we chose Janet and love reliving our special day when we look through our photos!”
