Watch Wedding Flower Videos

| 1 Comment

 I just finished a new info page on our website called Watch Our Wedding Videos.

So instead of sorting through all the other non- wedding related videos on our YouTube Channel, you now can view them all on one page of our website.  This is a great feature for future brides looking to get an idea of what her bouquets are going to look like. We also look forward to adding more videos soon that will also capture different styles and colors to show another side of Belvedere Flowers.

We also provide links to some of the Philly hotels, reception halls, churches, etc., and also the towns & cities of where we deliver wedding flowers to.

Here is a short list of some of the recent places Belvedere has created & delivered wedding flowers.

The Radnor Hotel in St. Davids, PA 19087

 

Radnor Valley Country Club in Villanova PA 19085 

 

Temple Beth Hillel Synagogue in Wynnewood PA 19096 

Sheraton Society Hill Hotel in Philadelphia PA 19106

 

Independence Visitors Center Ballroom in Philadelphia PA

 

Here are a few pictures of some of the bridal bouquets from these recent weddings by Belvedere Flowers. We deliver wedding flowers to Philadelphia, Delaware County & all other surrounding areas.

In Lieu of Flowers

"Families deserve the right of complete freedom of expression at time of death. People are not cut from the same spiritual or emotional mold. Therefore, they should be free to express themselves in the manner which best conveys their emotions. Any expression which is the result of dictate, ceases to be an act of the heart"

Todd Van Beck
Funeral Director

 

 

This quote above was taken from a great website I found called In Lieu of Flowers 

I recently attended a Memorial Service for my good friend's father at Riddle Village in Media PA. At his dad's request, he did not want any flowers sent to the service. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name could be made to UNICEF or 1-800-FOR-KIDS.

My good friend Matt wrote a poem to read at his dad's memorial the other day, which really inspired me to write this blog. I wanted to share his great poem with you today.

 

 

No Cut Flowers


He said not to cut flowers

Leave them where they stand

Stop and watch them blooming

Come back when you can


They come in every color

None better than the other

Each may have a favorite

One that they discover


He said not to cut flowers

For it is not their time

Look upon their beauty

Remember it with mine


If you see one bent down

Get a stick and prop it up

Give it rain and sunshine

If it hasn't had enough


He said not to cut flowers

Let them grow up high

The roses and the dandelions

Some day must say goodbye


But I’d rather be a dandelion 

When it comes time for my death

And be sent a thousand different ways

By a playful child's breath


For I’ve seen the seedlings settle

And I’ve watched the flowers bloom

And I know to keep their beauty

I can't keep them in my room


He said not to cut flowers

Leave them where they grow

I don't know where he's headed

But it's where the good souls go
