3 Custom Floral Arrangements

A florist in Colorado asked me a while back to make a stephanotis bouquet, she liked it so much she asked if I could make 3 centerpieces for her wedding reception. Although it was short notice on both orders, I was able to pull it off. She loved everything. I got an email earlier this month and she asked if I could created 3 custom arrangements with 3 different color schemes.

She wanted an all white and ivory bouquet of flowers with roses, anemones and hydrangea. I decided since she liked another arrangement I did to add gardenias and sweet peas. It's a clean yet striking arrangement with the black centers of the anemone flowers.The 2nd arrangement she wanted light and dark shades of pink with peonies, roses and ranunculus. This one I decided to put in the aqua blue ball jar.The last arrangement was all shades of purple. Again I decided to make the dark purple anemones, light purple hydrangeas, lilac English roses and a stalk of hyacinth.

I love how all three turned out. I've been busy working on flowers for a photo shoot for Thursday, I'm almost done with those flowers. I am very excited that I will actually be able to attend a portion of the photo shoot before having to get back to my next big order.

Custom gifts

A long-time friend recently asked me to create some pieces for her for the holidays. One she wanted for her new place using a specific container (a lovely green teapot with a beautiful embossed design on it) and the other was more specific in terms of colors.I finally had the opportunity to work on them (specifically last night) and managed to finish all the flowers in short of 4 hours. These will make stunning home decor pieces!

I wish I had more time this year to create some arrangements to sell in my Etsy store, but I will have to plan on the new year with things being so chaotic. Now that this order is complete, I can focus completely on my last big wedding of 2010! Oh and teaching another 2 week accelerated course to an interested student from Texas.
