More Flower Samples - Peony, Poppy and Lily of the Valley

I've been busy trying to get the remaining orders & samples out the door before I leave on my trip tomorrow. The last of the samples to ship out are to my July 11th bride. She wanted peonies, lily of the valley and now she's contemplating spray roses and poppies. She was inspired by a bouquet she saw in a recent Martha Stewart Weddings magazine.

I've tried to steer clear of making lily of the valley, not because I don't know how to make them, but because they are so time-consuming to make. Alas... as a floral designer I have to give what the client has her heart set on having in her bouquet. Because they are just individual flowers, I decided to just put it on my faux cake and take some shots so that I have it on file to color match when I go and do her order.

It's a very spring like bouquet of flowers and the lily of the valley adds just that little delicate touch!

Some More Concepts...

The concepts keep on coming today.. These are some concepts I'm doing for Alyssa. I think I like the palm leaves better than the pineapple. I also worked on a few more concepts for Erin as well so you can see some of them here.

Erin is looking for whites/blacks and for a little pop of color she wants pinks and purples but also wants some natural elements as well. She fell in love with the honu (turtle) design I did for Teri and Frank so I made a sample for her as well with her colors in mind. Below is the favor tag and place card idea using the poppy motif.

Here's the other concepts being considered for the save-the-date cards (Erin likes peonies and she also liked a floral silhouette idea... Which one do you like best???
