White Hydrangea Bouquet

This brides bouquet turned out Simple but Very Elegant!  It had white hydrangea, white roses and white spray roses.
The stems where hand wrapped with ivory ribbon and ivory pearl pins going down the center.
It truly adds, but it also gives the bride something to hold and fiddle with if she is nervous.

Garden Look

This has to be my favorite floral look!  This has Ti leaves (which  can loop or just stand tall),   Sunflowers, Zinnias, flowering Kale, Kermit button mums  and an awesome pincushion protea!  So I guess we are really mixing a garden look with a tropical look.....but it still comes off looking great!
It made a beautiful Birthday party arrangement.

Marine Blue and White Card Box

Well it was another beautiful wedding!  We made a gift card box out of different white papers, embossed, stripped and glitter blue!  We embellished it with ribbon....pleated, satin and little roses.  Our favorite is making the paper flowers which we learned from "Paper Source"...our favorite paper store!

Baby Shower Book Arrangement

At the Baby Shower we just did this weekend we used Golden Books and Dr. Seuss Books to wrap  the containers for the table arrangements.  In the arrangements we had some beautiful pink and yellow alstromeria, yellow yarrow, scabiosa, poppy pods and cute little yellow spider mums and of course pink gerberas 

Then at each setting was a paper marker with the persons name and a water pick tube to put the flower in.  This was an ideas that Blumebox produces, but I didn't have enough time to order... so I made them!  Won't do that again....too much work!  Will definitely order from Blumebox!

The favors are made out of golden book pages and with a couple of gummy worms and crimped on the ends.

Surprise!

One of our brides is a children's librarian and we wanted to do something with children's books to surprise her.

So we anchored a few books around a glass vase and tied it with a ribbon, then carefully added the flowers not to get the pages wet.

Turned out adorable!

Blumebox Arrangements


These arrangements are so much fun with Poppy pods (super nice, they had strong stems and some of them were as big as a golf ball), Astilbe, Gerberas, Carnations and Mini Hydrangea.  We put them in a product called "Blumebox" which give you so many options to decorate and at a reasonable price.

It was a nice touch in the men and women's bathrooms.

Hot Pink Reception


What a beautiful reception!  It was a combination of high and
low table arrangements.  The tall cylinder vases were filled with
gel crystals and the new subnine submergible lights which you can choose from several color to light up the gel crystals.  The great part is you can turn them on with a remote!

We filled the vases with silver birch twigs and add hot pink silk
orchids and also banded the vases with black and pink ribbon and attached table numbers.

The low vases were filled with the gel crystals and submergible light, banded with pink and black ribbon and topped with fresh hot pink carnations.

Hot Pink Unity Sand Arrangement

This was something new we tried!  Kind of a wall of color!  We used two rows of hot pink carnations, a row of hot pink alstromeria, and the calla cones.  The calla cones we got from Accent Decor and we love them!  They are slender and dried, you can cut them off at any length!  Very fun to work with.

Hot Pink Carnation Bouquet

This is one of my favorites!  The Hot Pink was beautiful!  We were alittle concerned about the stems on the carnations so we tried these new black wire cuffs which supports the carnations and is a fabulous accent.  It worked great!
We wrapped the stems in black ribbon and used the hot pink pins as an accent going down the bouquet.
Loved it!

Hot Pink Silk Orchid Corsage

 This Mother of the Bride corsages was made on a silver slap bracelet.  We used Hot pink silk orchids, pink and black polka dot feathers, white wispy feathers, green hypericum berries along with black glitter ribbon and white fluffy wire. It really went beautiful with her dress and she looked beautiful.

Wedding Cake and Altar

Sometimes cake flowers can be a challenge!  But they definitely add color to the overall look.

This is one of the two altar pieces that carried out the blue/ purple look!

Blueish Purple Hydrangea Bouquet

                                        
This bouquet looked so nice with the dark purple
bridesmaids dress.  We added white roses, purple limonium and white callas.
We bought these fabulous blue hydrangeas for Baisch and Skinner and then oversprayed
them with a violet color.

Soft White and Purple Bouquet

This bride choose white hydrangea, roses, callas, purple limonium  and we oversprayed mini white carnation with blue and violet.  It was beautiful!

Bubble bowls

A bubble bowl table arrangement
makes a beautiful striking table arrangement that is very cost effective.
We used one spider mum and a few stems of lilly grass.
