It’s no secret that I LOVE James Abel. I actually met him years ago at the Stationery Show and we have been buddies ever since. It’s more than his absolutely gorgeous work…it’s his lovely personality and passion for what he does that really blows me away. I always look forward to a James Abel event and today, he is sharing some of his personal ideas and inspirations. Can’t wait!

Flowers by James Abel Events
With all of the many decisions to be made for your wedding, don’t stress over your flowers. Instead of complex mixed arrangements or bouquets, why not keep it simple? I find there’s a sweet and elegant sophistication to using one type of flower per container and grouping them together.

I like to use flowers of varying heights, colors and texture, such as hydrangea, tulips, orchids, bells of Ireland and roses. You can create tight bundles or just keep it lose and airy. These individual groupings add interest to any table, plus, it’s a great way to utilize the vessels themselves as part of your table design.

The monochromatic look of these flowers is really beautiful and not something you see every day in floral arrangements these days. Beautiful!
I LOVE this type of floral design! Reminds me of the way flowers grow in a garden...a bunch of one type of flower residing next to a bunch of another. Different heights, different colors...a profusion of natural beauty!
I love these arrangements. Very natural and vibrant. I love singular themes and together they paint a great picture. I especially love the white hydrangeas and orchids theme with the basket weave table runner, great match.
Wonderfully simple design. It's amazing how the monochrome look makes the arrangement look that much more elegant. I love the clean feel of the white and green.
