The Week in "Re-bloom"

What do you get when you combine State Fair, four weddings and a butterfly exhibit? Our week at Bank of Memories & Flowers! Here are some of our favorite photos from last week:

Our week began with the setting up of our booth at the State Fair in the Horticultural Building. We took inspiration from a handmade quilt hanging over the booth, focusing on the theme "weather" and playing off the three-dimensional butterflies contained on the quilt. Our booth contains 60 butterflies! For more photos, including some fun set-up and before and afters, check out our State Fair blog post.

Floral designer, Marcia, really got into the butterfly theme and set up her own "exhibit" of sorts at our Menomonee Falls shop :)

Our Pewaukee location added some great giftware as well as some fantastic jewelry!

 

Jade traveled a long distance for her wedding last Friday. Her bouquet consisted of vibrant sunflowers, purple statice and flat-leafed ferns, reminiscent of her current Colorado home. The satin ribbon on the stems were tied in love knots to complete the look.

Sara's wedding also took place on Friday at the Best Place Milwaukee venue which is part of the historic Pabst's mansion and brewery. To go along with the "brewery" theme, Sara had a friend drop off some fresh hops to be incorporated into her bouquet -- we loved the finished product!

Jennifer and Craig were married on Saturday at St. James in Menomonee Falls. Their flowers consisted of soft peaches and vibrant colors. Exquisitely gorgeous!

Abby and Derek were wed on Saturday at St. John's church in West Bend. Their flowers were simply elegant -- varying types all in white. They included ranunculus, freesia, hydrangea, and roses. The reception tables were each adorned with fresh hydrangea arrangements. All together, the day included more than 200 individual hydrangea flower blossoms!

 We also had the opportunity to make this adorable arrangement, being sent to parents welcoming a newborn son! (P.S. This pick up truck also makes great gifts for dads, grandfathers, or anyone who loves trucks!)

Have a great weekend and we'll look forward to updating you again next week!

Nothing says "Summer" like the State Fair!

It's that time of year again: the Wisconsin State Fair is here and we can smell the deep fried food all way to the Menomonee Falls shop -- YUM! 

 

We are proud to say that we once again have a display in the Horticultural building. Bank of Memories was able to select a quilt we wanted to have tie into our display and therefore, the inspiration for the booth was taken from the quilt both in theme and colors. Our booth contains 60 butterflies to echo the three-dimensional ones used in the quilt which hangs above our display.

The booth took six hours to assemble and consists only of fresh flowers. It is visited on a daily basis by one of our floral designers to refresh and/or replace any of the flowers which may need it. 

Heading to the fair? Be sure to stop by and check it out in between fried meals :) The fair is open from now until Sunday, August 10th. But just in case you can't make it this year, here are some photos for your viewing pleasure!
