ABOUT US

Welcome All! I am Jenn...


My lifetime dream became a reality with the opening of Modern Day Floral. Everyday I am fortunate enough to work with one of the most beautiful mediums in the world, fresh flowers. I absolutely love what I do and thanks to my brides, vendors, retails customers and special event client, I get to live out my dream daily. I would also like to personally thank my incredible staff for all their hard work and passion... They inspire me daily! Enjoy the blog, visit often and remember, we love "warm fuzzies!"


MEET THE STAFF!

What do you get when you bring a group of passionate and talented people together? Modern Day Floral! These fascinating men and women amaze me everyday with their commitment and love for this business. I think what truly makes our group so special is the diverse backgrounds we come from... From interior to clothing design, retailer and experience floral design... Wow, what a group!


Emily is one of my lead designers - she brings the energy to the group. She has been with me from the beginning and is responsible for the "look" that has become Modern Day Floral! The talent, commitment and positive attitude she brings to work is invaluable. The cup is always 1/2 full... She is my AI in AIFD!


Karen is another of my lead designers - her calm nature, experience and romantic style bring a complimentary element to Modern Day Floral. She is the most amazing Christmas tree decorator and is affectionately known as Miss Christmas :)


Rueben is the newest lead designer to the group! His clean, unique and contemporary styles brings a new flare to Modern Day Floral. He keeps us entertained with his amazing music collection on his iPod!!


Erin brings with her a BFA in interior design from Kendall College of Art and Design and an incredibly passionate type A personality. She is my checks and balances girl with a quest for knowledge. Perspective drawings are definitely her specialty... This girl is going places!


Lauren is our public relations and marketing guru! She brings a fun, spunky energy to our group and isn't afraid to jump into the middle of any task!!


Charlie, Jonathan, Ernie, Aaron and Ryan are the guys of the group (poor souls)! The mere fact that they tolerate all of us for more than 5 minutes is a miracle. Estrogen flows in buckets at Modern Day but believe it or not, we're all a loving family!

Grand Opening Details (PART 3) Fabulous Phals and Feathers

Welcome back and let’s get right to it. This post I’m going to share the recipe for a perfectly sassy bouquet and how “NON-FLORAL” centerpieces can still make a BOLD statement.

While designing this look I couldn’t help but tap into my wilder side, the side that loves pure decadence and the things that make you feel like a million bucks; “cherries in the snow” lipstick, my favorite OPI color “I’m really not a waitress”, the hottest pair of Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboutin pumps and who doesn’t love a yummy Louis Viutton handbag!

The use of feathers and varying jewel tone shades are definitely one the hottest trends right now. In creating the tablescape I thought it would be fun to showcase a non-floral centerpiece. The best part is these cute little feather trees were purchased at HOBBY LOBBY! I love it when I find decor items that are super cute and reasonably priced, leaving more money to purchase these adorable black pumps!!
Seriously is this not the cutest ding dang shoe you’ve ever seen?!

As with any good food recipe it’s important to use only the freshest ingredients, texture and color keep the dish interesting and just the right amount of spice makes the dish dylish! The same holds true in floral design.


So here are all the yummy details from one of the scrumptious bouquets from the Grand Opening.

Recipe for one “SASSY LITTLE BOUQUET”

Preparation time: 1 hour

Preheat oven to “SUPER HOT”

6 stems of gorgeous purple phalaenopsis orchids

7-9 stems of hot pink “princess” rose

one 10 stem bunch of soft pink/green parrott tulips

one 10 stem bunch of “Edge of Night” calla lilies (Swartzwalder Calla(s) work well as a substitution)

1/2 bunch of bear grass-lily grass is another great substitution

one black feather bou cut into pieces (add more for a spicier dish)

wrap the stems in one spool of magenta wire

FINISH THE RECIPE WITH ONE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS BRIDE FULL OF SASS WHO AIN’T AFRAID TO WORK IT! REMEMBER THIS IS YOUR DAY SO IT’S OKAY TO INDULGE!!!!!

On a quick side note, if you’re wondering how to hold this bouquet it’s best to choose one side or the other. I tell brides to use your hip as your guide and chose the side you favor. This way it will look and feel most natural to you.


As one of my favorite Food Network buds would say, “until next time, I bid you good eats!”
