Why You Should Invite Parrot Tulips to Your Wedding
By Steven Rosen
Parrot tulips are known for their full body and rich texture, bred in a rainbow of colors to accentuate your next big event. The parrot tulip may be one of the most recognizable flowers for its star quality and vibrant presence making them a favorite for bridal showers and the wedding day. The bride-to-be who chooses the parrot tulip for her reception table makes a bold and beautiful statement about herself. Both bride and the parrot tulip share similar qualities in that they make a spectacular appearance, radiate self-confidence, have a flair for artistry, and are comfortable taking center stage.
In memory of Silverio Casabar
To my shock and dismay, I discovered my mom’s long time floral teacher and mentor died on Feb. 21. My mom met Silverio Casabar when he gave a class at the flower market and they bonded quickly over being Filipino. Working with Silverio was a shot of creativity for both my mom and myself — he was so incredibly creative and talented. I remember looking at a cake table with a few yards of fabric in one hand, trying to figure out what I should do. He came by and, in just a few minutes, twisted it into a new technique that I began to use at later weddings.
