Phalaenopsis Orchids

Phalaenopsis orchids are becoming very popular in the wedding magazines and reality shows. They differ from other orchids with their large, flat petals and smaller throat. Sisters has used them in different ways depending on the look that is intended. Take a peek!

Phals come on very long stems so they work great for long, flowing cascades as seen in these two pictures of the same bouquet.

The individual orchids can also be removed from the stems and used as blooms to accent other flowers in a bouquet.

Here the phals are being used with other flowers to cascade down the side of the cake.

Phalaenopsis orchids are a beautiful addition to any flower arrangement. What they don't tell you on the wedding shows and in the magazines is that they are kind of price-y, so keep that in mind when you are selecting flowers and adding in phals. They can be more affordable as blooms rather than whole stems. However, the Sisters philosophy is that the bride should get whatever flowers they want in their bouquet and make the rest fit into the budget. :)

Hanging Amaranthus

Hanging amaranthus can be used in a variety of ways. It's long, hanging tendrils can give a lush and formal look as well as an organic feel. Here are some examples of how we have used it for wedding this past summer.

Green amaranthus was used around the outside of this bridal bouquet. It gave the whole bouquet a romantic, whimsical feeling.

The reception at the Ritz featured two tall centerpieces with hanging amaranthus. This is a great example of the amaranthus being used at a very formal event.

This reception in Forest Park also had green hanging amaranthus. Here it is used in a very gardeny way to accent the green in the arrangement.

Hanging amaranthus also comes in a burgundy color and is as versatile as the green. Just adding a hanging element to an arrangement can change the overall look of the piece.
