The Earth laughs in flowers.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

We think so too! We at Flowers by Fudgie see firsthand every day the joy flowers bring to people! Whether it’s the long-awaited and carefully planned wedding day, celebrating Easter, or honoring your beloved mom on Mother’s Day, flowers make everyone smile and light up a room!

And contemporary glass cubes are an extraordinarily elegant way to show off flowers! Go ahead and indulge those modernists in your lives with a beautiful contemporary centerpiece or bouquet. Glass cubes make a beautiful centerpiece for weddings, Spring/Easter or Mother’s Day gift giving. These popular centerpieces make any occasion brighter, fresher, and more beautiful! These contemporary centerpieces appeal to a bride or gift giver with a discriminating eye for color and clean lines.Possibly Pink

The ”flower to flower” look, with little to no greenery, gives a just picked appeal. Cubes come in a variety of sizes to choose from:  2” to 12” with the most popular for table tops measuring at 4-6” high. These cubes can be lined with a ti leaf, banded with ribbon or left clear for a more natural look where the stems can be seen. The crisp clean look appeals to many.Simply Charming

If you would like to send flowers to someone you love or are planning a wedding and looking for a florist, don’t hesitate to contact us at Flowers By Fudgie…it is our pleasure to work with you! And don’t forget those all-important Mother’s Day Flowers!

Dramatic floral arrangements composed of Wow (coral), Circus (yellow/red edge) and Leonides (terra cotta) roses with hanging green amaranthus completed this elegant space.  the-sosurce-girls jen-with-bridal-bouquet This was a special wedding for all of us at Fudgie’s. The bride, Jen Blanco, is a close friend and the officiant principal of Notary to Go, a long-time Sarasota wedding service provider. Jen was now on the “other side of the table” as she and Steve Moore were tied in marriage!  Bobbi Hicks (Weddings by Bobbi), Evelyn England (Sage art and video , Jen Blanco-Moore (Notary to Go) and Becki Creighton (Flowers by Fudgie) have worked together as a team for years as Your Wedding Source, the one-stop-shop for Sarasota brides who expect the best for their weddings. It was loads of fun planning and executing a wedding for one of our ”sisters”! But this time the team included Susan Quarmby, of Weddings by Susan, as the officiant. Together, we made our dear friend’s wedding day as special as any we have ever done.

The reception was in the same ballroom where Fudgie’s designers created elevated arrangements of Leonides, Circus and Wow roses, trailing ivy with several votive candles at the base of each one for a rich, romantic setting. This fun, loving couple continued partying on with all their family and friends all weekend. Pre-wedding fun started Friday night at Marina Jacks and ended Sunday at the Hyatt Sarasota with a grand brunch. See the photos below to get in on this great wedding weekend!
