Call me a flower dork, but I can endlessly stare at a lady slipper orchid. These little beauties are a surreal product of Mother Nature, and I never grow tired of them. The bold brown and green colors of the orchid paired perfectly with Charlie Brown and green cymbidium orchids. Sahara roses add an element of softness to this organic inspired bouquet. Such rich and earthy colors are balanced by a feminine sequin wrapped trim. This bouquet would be pair lovely with the neutrals to brown dresses.

I marvel those who get their inspirations from just about anything. As a designer in the wedding industry, I often encourage my brides to look into fashion magazine, Home decor magazine, their closet or even their surroundings for inspirations. I remember one day Aileen went to the studio with a cut-out of a tulle dress from Issac Mizrahi. I had a puzzeled look on my face as I waited for an explanation. ’This is my inspiration for my tabletop!’ was her answer. She wrapped her head around this cute pink tulle dress and designed this gorgeous tabletop using the same elements. All from a dress. What inspires YOU?

Several weeks ago we had a wonderful opportunity to design a wedding in Orlando Florida. Kelly and Fabio’s vision was to have a dreamy fairy tale wedding. What better place to have it then Orlando? We are so honor to be able to design this wedding for them. The entire week was simply ‘Magical’. Kelly was seriously the most sweetest bride ever! After more then 10 months of planning her Florida wedding with her from Bermuda, we finally met. What a lovely person she is! We had great fun planning and designing this romantic Florida wedding. The Gaylord Palms in Orlando is truly a romantic venue to host a wedding. The ceremony was surrounded with Medieval decor, Large stone walls and soothing waterfalls, all within the large Atrium. Very mystical and unique! We here at Karen Tran Florals are very excited to be able to add ‘Destination weddings’ to our services.
Please check back for more fantastic images as we are anxiously awaiting professional photos from David Christensen Photography.
We had the opportunity of collaborating with the marvelous Coronado wedding planner Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings for an intimate wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado. When we found out that the bride wanted brilliant colors of ruby red and amethyst, we could barely contain ourselves. Diane centered her decor around her stunning red dress, and contrasted it with hues of lavender, plum, fuchsia, and green. The bride and groom exchanged vows at the Vista Walk in between two large arrangements cascading with scarlet and lavender roses, eggplant calla lilies, purple tulips, fuchsia phalaenopsis orchids, and green hanging amaranthus. The wedding continued in the Windsor Complex ballroom, the perfect size for an intimate affair such as this. Platinum satin table clothes and silver chiavari chairs were the foundation for each vintage candelabra, overflowing with vibrant blooms. Surrounded each centerpieces were mercury candle holders that gave the room a romantic and antique glow. Thank you Heather from Vallentyne Photography for the gorgeous photos! This wedding was designed by Aileen Tran. Fantastic job Aileen!
Maybe its the holiday season that makes me wish I was a graceful ballerina. I dug up this photo of a light pink peony and tulle bouquet that was made during the height of the season. The delicate petals of the peonies reminded me of ethereal ballerina tutus. This bouquet was a compliment to a photo shoot we did at the Santaluz Club with the ultra talented Pam Scott.

Purple prevails in this richly colored and textural bouquet. Ruffly cattlya orchids, fuchsia phalaenopsis, striking calla lilies, and lavender roses all join together to create a colorful statement. Each bouquet is finished with satin eggplant ribbon and adorned with an adorable crystal brooch. ~Aileen

With pumpkin pie on the table and leaves changing color, it’s starting to feel a lot more like Fall. A combination of orange spray roses, flame calla lilies, vibrant tulips, pivot, and seeded eucalyptus make a richly colored bouquet that celebrates the changing seasons. Gold rhinestone trim accents and ivory French satin ribbon gives this rustic bouquet a tailored finish. ~Aileen

Here’s a bouquet featuring some bling from our collection of jewelry. The brooch and embellished tip are clean and striking touches of glamour. Ruffles of ivory Midori ribbon casually cover the seams of this simple and elegant bouquet. ~Aileen
