France and Switzerland

Kelsey and I were able to travel to Europe before the wedding season begins for a little rest and relaxation. While in France, we visited Strasbourg, Colmar, Basencon, Dijon, Orleans, Chateau de Chenonceau in the Loire Valley, and of course, Paris! We also made a detour to Davos in Switzerland for some snowboarding. While it wasn't as restful as we had hoped, we had the trip of a lifetime and took some fantastic photographs while we were there.

Viviano's Bridal Extravaganza 2014

Today I had the pleasure of attending Viviano's Bridal Extravaganza 2014 at the Mirage Banquet Center in Clinton Township. For those of you who don't know, Viviano's is one of Metro Detroit's premier florists and has been in operation since 1937. The first Viviano's flower shop was located in Detroit, but the family sold the building and moved into their main shop in St. Clair Shores in the 1950's. Today Viviano's has four locations throughout Metro Detroit, but is still a family-run operation. Viviano's prepares beautiful floral arrangements for almost any affair, but has a whole department with employees who specialize in weddings.

I spoke with Frank Viviano about this year's wedding trends and he said that brides recently have been focused on mixing outdoor elements with elegant traditional arrangements. You can see examples of this below. If you would like to learn more about Viviano's, I highly recommend you stop by one of their four locations and speak to a floral specialist. With their ability to get the freshest flowers from greenhouse around the world, their years of experience in creating some of the most memorable and imaginative floral arrangements I have ever seen, and their willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty for their clients, Viviano's truly is one of the best in the business. Highly recommended!
