Pink Peonies and Snow Berries

After the move to Southern California, we have been blessed with awesome Spring and Summer like weather. We finally got hit with a big winter storm. We had small rivers and lakes growing around our house. While the rain is a welcome sight with drought like conditions, it is something we need. Needless to say, I missed my daily dose of bright blue skies and sunlight.

So in order to brighten the last couple of days, I finished the bouquet, boutonniere and corsage order for my client and it helped cheer me up. What's not to love about pink peonies and snow berries?

While my client originally asked me to just make her bouquet and 3 boutonnieres, about a month ago she asked if I could take on a cake flower, 5 corsages and 2 additional boutonnieres. She is doing a lot of DIY projects for her wedding and these items would have put her on overload and stress her out. Of course, I was happy to help her. 

I love how the snow berries turned out with the peonies!

Plumerias - Part 2

I finally finished Amanda's order of plumeria boutonnieres, corsages and her cake topper.

There is something wonderful about a bouquet of white plumeria flowers. I miss that delicate fragrance they have. They are and always have been one of my all-time favorite flowers.I took some photos of the cake topper, bridesmaid bouquet and the groomsmen boutonnieres.

Coral, Pinks, Greens and Whites...

I've been busy teaching for the last 7 days as well as working on orders. I was able to complete this order this morning. My client wanted corals, pinks, greens and whites. Her request was to have peonies, ranunculus, roses, stephanotis, gardenias, hydrangeas and dogwood.

The original request was a 10" diameter bouquet, but ultimately it turned into a 14" bouquet! I had a lot of coral going on so I needed to mix in the green hydrangeas with pink highlights as well as light pink ranunculus. It's a really spring like bouquet that makes you smile. Believe it or not, I didn't use any artificial fillers in this bouquet!The maid of honor bouquet is a single 6" diameter coral peony with a teal/jade color organza wrap since the MOH bouquet is that same color.
The groom wanted a single whitish ivory rose boutonniere with simple fillers.
The groomsmen will wear stephanotis blossoms with rhinestone centers accented with tuberose buds and green fillers.
