My Destination France Bride's Order Complete!

Seems befitting that I finished my big destination France bride, Amanda's order today, 4th of the July. Why you ask? Because her flowers for her reception are blue and red! I've been frantically working all day every day to get flowers done. It took me 3 full days to get all these flowers done to fill 14 centerpieces of blue hydrangeas, deep red roses and rosey red dahlias, and 2 cake table centerpieces.
Here's how it all turned out. Even my husband told me that he loved the color combination and how it's out of my norm and that it was very striking. I still have to touch up with accent painting, but I am essentially done.I have lots of bouquet orders and print jobs to work on so this month will be as busy as last month. Believe me, in some ways, September's vacation cannot come soon enough! I've been working non-stop since... well, I can't remember when... that's how long! LOL.

Best wishes to Amanda and her French fiance! I'm so excited for them and happy that I could create her wedding day decor all the way from California! :)

Single White Peony...

I tend to make elaborate bouquets and centerpieces. However, I'm working on some arrangements for the set of an Internet show and I've been dying to use these sea urchin vases. I'm struggling still to decide what I want to put in them but I may just leave it like this. A single white peony in the sea urchin vase. SIMPLY STUNNING!

A Gift for a Bride to Be

I received an Etsy convo from an interested buyer if I could do a custom order with a flower in a shadow box. Upon further discussion with the client, we talked more and decided to do a memento vase arrangement instead that her sister (the bride) could have as a memory of her wedding day flowers to treasure always. The client sent me photos of the centerpieces and bouquet concepts and this is my interpretation of what she sent me without the crystals since I figured this would be more of a floral arrangement to decorate their living space. I think she plans to give this to her sister on the day of her bridal shower. I love the colors and it kind of ties in with Valentine's Day. LOL... The client needed it for April, but because of my schedule I had to get it done now if she wanted to have it at all.

I really like this arrangement. So pretty!
