New blooms

Just like clockwork, with the holidays a thing of the past, the panic is setting in...not for me, but for all the couples getting hitched in 2008.

Tropical Blooms & Bouquets, owned and operated by a dynamic mother-daughter team, offers florals ranging from traditional Hawaiian stylings to modern and contemporary creations.

And I love, love, love these handmade silk dupioni boxes that I predict could become one of the company's signature items. What a stunning way to add a punch of color to your centerpieces!
