Orchids Anyone?


Orchids have become one of the most popular flowers in the past several years. First, we saw them in it's most popular form to date which is the phaleonopsis potted plant. Bergeron's has been sending out these beauties for quite a while. They are beautiful! Whether we pot them in a clear glass for a contemporary look (if you get them like this, these need to be cleaned quite frequently as orchids do not like to be water-laden) or in a classic ceramic container that in complimentary to the orchid color.

Then, brides began to see them in and part of bridal work. For bouquets they have a stunning quality to provide striking color or long-lasting capability. In an all white bouquet, you can pair them with roses, peonies, fragrant freesia, and even gardenias for a beautiful gathering.

Cut orchids have been filling vases now as a hot trend and we love them! From dendrobiums to mokaras, cymbidiums and long stems of phaleonopsis, these beauties won't let you down. They can be showy and stunning added to any arrangement or just a cluster by themselves.

My Favorite Wedding







Well, I have to admit my favorite wedding this year will by my niece's wedding. Brooke and Jesse exchanged their vows this summer and all of our family and friends had a wonderful time.

We brought flowers in from Hawaii, Holland, Columbia, Ecuador, and Italy. It was a crazy time, but Bergeron's was up to the task. My staff worked their tails off and thanks to a few friends as well, we were able to make a stunning display.

David Madison did the photography. What an amazing job! Thanks, David.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
