Summer Colours to Make Your Event Pop!!

June 13th, 2011

One of the best ways to give your event style is to choose colours and colour combinations that are in this season. The best source of hot and stylish colours is the runway and fashion, you might even look at the colours you are wearing this summer to decorate your summer wedding or other important event.

  1. Apricot and Dusty Green: It is almost natural that these colours are a hit this season; you just need to take a walk in an orchard to see these shades during the summer. They have also been on the runway. One of the best flowers to choose for this colour combination is the strelitzia, as it already holds these shades, and has a drop of purple to give some added detail
  2.  

  3. Deep Red and Light Blue: This colour combination is reminiscent of a bowl of cherries. If you are planning to use roses in your decor this can be the perfect combination. Deep red is not your usual summer colour, but the light blue will give it the added summery freshness your event needs.
  4.  

  5. Violet and Light Gray: Gray has been the new black for some time now. This colour combination is the perfect choice for a more refined and held-back event. These colours will give an event a soft and quiet air. To give shades some contrast, your flowers can be arranged with deep green foliage. You can also have monochromatic bouquets, where all the flowers are violet, but in various shades to give the arrangements some depth.

The perfect event or wedding celebration does not have to remain a dream. Todich Floral Design can help you with all the details of your decor. And you can stay focused on having your special event go off without a hitch. We have all the experience and resources provide you with perfection!

Spring Colours for Spring Weddings

March 28th, 2011

spring-colours

 

Spring is a blast of colour the sun and warmth brings out the brightest in just about everything even the grass is a brighter shade of green. If you are holding a spring wedding take some of your inspiration from the outdoors, at this time of year you do not need to hold back on colour.

This year’s most popular colours for spring weddings may seem a little held-back but they are actually just the back-drop to some brighter tones.
Just about every shade of pink is popular. If you are using a brighter shade of pink then it can take on the main role in the decoration scheme. But if a light or dusty pink is being used then bright colours, or deep green foliage can be used to set a contrast.

In just about every aspect of fashion greys have been popular since last fall. It is almost safe to say that grey is the new black! And this is no different for spring trends. It is probably best to stick to lighter shades of grey if you really want to stay current. This is another shade that goes well with just about any bright colour. Try combining it with shades of red, yellow or orange, for a truly fashion conscious look. For something a little more refined, purple and grey, have a cool beauty.

Finally, my favourite, purple! The lighter shades of purple are the most popular this season, and this tone of purple is a great backdrop for other light colours. Light pink, blue or yellow combined with purple will really set the spring mood of the wedding.

Trends do not necessarily have to dictate your wedding decoration scheme, they can simply serve as a source of inspiration. Whatever your ideas and dreams might Todich Floral Design has a team of experts available, who will help you bring your wedding ideas to life!

The Perfect Season for Wedding Flowers

March 28th, 2011

Spring has arrived and if you are planning a wedding in the following couple months you are lucky when it comes to flowers.

Sometimes, added together with the rest of the wedding costs, flowers can seem like a big expenditure. But flowers really put the finishing touches to the wedding reception. So if they are not up to par, the entire event loses some of its shine.

Luckily, many flower are in season at this time of year, and seasonal flowers mean that you will be cutting down on the costs.

To list only a few of the flowers available at this time of year; tulips, hyacinths, syringe, lilies, roses, ranunculus and anemones.  This is only to name a few of the options you have available for your wedding bouquet and reception.

This year the most popular choices for wedding flowers are narcissus, tulips, lilies and gerbera daisies. This is probably due to the fact that colour is a big hit this spring and all of these flower varieties (with the exception of lilies) come in strong colours. Meaning that weddings are looking all the more festive this year.

If you do not want to stick to only one flower this spring, then it is perfectly fine to combine two or more of these flowers, to make your bouquet and decorations fashionable yet one of a kind.

Whether you are taking the more economical route or sticking to fashion, spring is one of the best times of year to have a bit of fun with the floral decoration aspect of a wedding.

Todich Floral Design can make your experience all the more fun by helping you out with the minor details, allowing you to run with your imagination!

Todich Floral Design in Wateraid’s Sanitation Campaign

September 9th, 2010

Many Londoners were caught by surprise when passing by Trafalgar Square yesterday the 8th of September with a  installation raising their awareness for the fact that there is children dying from the lack of sanitation. Campaigners from Wateraid placed 167 spades in the square as a symbol of the number of children dying of diarrhoea every hour. Wateraid’s Head of Campaigns Kate Norgrove explains why they prepared this initiative in the following video:

The subject is not very pleasant and heavy language and phraseology is obviously involved. Words, in the form of floral letters was the contribution from Todich Floral Design to this campaign, the company was asked to prepare the flower letters that composed the phrase “Dig Toilets not Graves” that was used in Trafalgar Square.

Injecting Colour into the Modern Wedding!

July 19th, 2010

injecting-colour

One very exciting part of a wedding for the bride, is the chance to choose and wear a beautiful and extravagant dress, that you will wear only once in your life. As we all know, the traditional and most popular colours for dresses is either white or ivory. However, today a little splash of colour is definitely not out of the question.

Colour has become quite a trend over the past few seasons. Designs and fabrics are straying away from the usual dress. The lengths of dresses are really starting to vary, fabrics are becoming lighter, and adding a bit of colour is almost becoming a must.

Chiffon is one of the most popular fabrics this season. It is really something different in comparison the some of the stiff fabrics that have been used in the past.

Knee-length dresses are becoming a norm, especially since weddings take place in just about any setting these days. Can you imagine wearing a long flowing wedding dress on the beach? A shorter dress definitely allows for more freedom of movement.

If you opt for a shorter and lighter dress, you might have to re-consider the type of bouquet you choose. A large bouquet will really draw attention away from a small flowy, knee-length dress. A simple, small bouquet, will suit this type of dress better. Todich Floral Design can help you pick out exactly the right bridal bouquet. There are many sample bouquets available on the web-site, so you can get some idea of what you would like.

If you decide to stick to tradition in terms of the colour of your dress, colour can still be added in other ways. A brightly coloured pair of shoes, or other small details on the dress. These colours can help inspire the tones of the wedding decorations and the flowers for the bridal bouquet. Accessories can also be colourful – like earrings and bracelets worn by the bride.

Let Todich Floral Design help you inject some colour into your upcoming wedding!

Flowers, Linking People and Places

July 12th, 2010

In Glasgow, a new type of flower is finally in bloom! But it is not the kind that you will find blooming in your garden and certainly cannot be wrapped up in a bouquet!

An underpass in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow, really needed a bit of work. This problem was solved with the installation of aluminium flowers. They are anywhere from five to eight meters tall with petals that are about two metres wide. There are about fifty pink, orange and yellow flowers in total to brighten up this, once, rundown area.

These blooms also serve as a link between the city centre and a newly developing area. This project has been a great success, recently winning the Scottish Design Award in the ‘Future Buildings & Spaces’ category.

Flowers , whether made of aluminium or straight from the garden can really serve as a means to bring people and places together.

This is why they can really serve addition to an office space or for any other any other events; blooms can really be a way of drawing the eye and getting people talking.

Todich Floral Design can help you realize any floral decorating ideas you might have for your next event. From consultation (helping you pick out exactly the design, style and flowers you need) to installation (bringing out the best in each floral creation). With our team of experts we will make you next event more memorable with ease!
