Movies: The Five-Year Engagement

Tom and Violet are finally getting married! We are so excited at Michael Daigian Design for this movie, The Five-Year Engagement, to come out on April 27th 2012. We had a great time designing florals for the key events in the movie...but we are not going to tell you all of them yet....it will ruin the surprise. The movie is going to be hilarious especially since it is coming from the producers of Bridesmaids. Once the movie is out we will post pictures of the scenes that we designed the florals for...but here are some images from The Five-Year Engagement site that show a few of the florals that we provided for the movie.

The happy couple, Tom and Violet

 We have been really lucky to have designed florals for many movies over the past 20 years or so. We did Milk, Bicentennial Man, Sister Act and Heartbreak Kid to name a few. We are excited to add The Five-Year Engagement to that list. We hope you all have a great time at the movie!

Inspiration: Horti-Couture

On the cover of the April/May 2012 issue of Fusion Flowers there is a breathtaking red gown made entirely out of red flowers! When you flip to the article you see behind the scene shots of what it took to make this "Horti-Couture" gown.

 

We cannot get over how amazing the dress is and the amount of labor it took to create it. 7 trained designers worked 9 hours straight to make the main part of this Naomi rose petal dress where each petal was attached by hand to the fabric dress form with florist's cold glue. They then worked through the night to create the intricate hem of the gown to look like "living lace" with carnations, spray roses, chrysanthemums with a hand gilded gold leaf center and more Naomi rose petals. After it was all said and done they glued on an amazing 10,000 Naomi rose petals to create this Horti-Couture gown.

Joe Massie the designer created this one of a kind look for ASDA's National Valentines Day 2012 campaign.

We can appreciate the workmanship of hand gluing the flowers in the Naomi rose petal dress since we have first hand experience in what it is takes to do that.

Couture floral dress by our lead designer Jennifer Lato. She used Cherry Blossoms for the entire dress, Orchids for the necklace and belt, Wax Flower for the top of the bodice and Black Eucalyptus for the trim

We hope this inspires you as it did for us!
