Brigitte's Bridal Bouquet

Designer: Erika Eddington

Gold, Cream, Mustard, and Green - Not for the Faint of Design!

At this point we were working with what was leftover. Maybe it was all the candy in Angie's kitchen. Maybe it was playing with the two babies. Or maybe, it's just what Erika and I like doing.

A hint from Paula Pryke, one our favorite designers, whose theory is to arrange flowers like they naturally grow - in clusters.

The Bupleurum and silvery oatmeal colored ribbon helped cool down the warm tones for a more relaxed look.

Here is a very simple, refreshing arrangement that is inexpensive and would be wonderful for centerpieces. With a pop of color and a refined shape, this kiwi footed gathering vase is a dream come true!

Featured: Parrot Tulips, Stock, Spray Roses, Ginestra, Bupleurum

Designers: Erika and Courtney

"Take 3" the First!

This week, we arranged what Angie coined a "flower date". Which is basically, getting together, buying some flowers, and going nuts. With no stipulations, except in regards to limitation of materials, we were each able to create something very personal! It's wonderful to see how we created things so distinct from the same elements.

As we have more of these sessions, it will be helpful for our customers to choose which designer they would like, as they can see our styles in reference to one another.

Back to the good stuff - yellow/orange Parrot Tulips, orange Ranunculus, hot pink Gladiolus, cream Spray Roses, cream Stock, light pink Ginestra, Bupleurum.


Angie - short and chic!
Those looped glad blades have a clean, au naturale feel. I think they hit up a little bit Asian, too. That Angie, so resourceful!

 

Erika - Fresh Picked
Erika has a wonderful talent for making things look fresh, free, and without reform. The linear ribbon treatment on the stems restores a little bit of order.

Courtney - Romantic Garden (complete with grazing deer!)
Structure and whimsy! See for yourself...

All in all, a good day! 

Kussee Wedding

She wanted something something fresh...something modern, but with the weighted palette of red, cream, and black - yellow added for zest. A clean and refined assortment was devised: fresh she got!

The couple printed a few pictures from after the ceremony to display at the reception, and the bouquet photographed extremely well. The colors are quietly bold, the texture defined - making for a substantial subject. 

Yellow Cymbidiums, Akito Roses, Black Magic Ti Leaf, red Anenomes, white Pixie Carnations, red Kangaroo Paw. Stems finished with black sheer ribbon and pearlized pins.

(Left Boutonniere) Red Anenomes, yellow Feverfew, Black Magic Ti Leaf loops. Stems finished with black sheer ribbon and wrapped in red wire. 

(Right Boutonniere) Akito rose, yellow Feverfew, red Kangaroo Paw, Black Magic Ti Leaf loops. Stems finished in a likewise fashion. 

Corsages (not shown): Same items as the boutonnieres, white Alstromeria with yellow hues added. 

Cymbidiums suspended in a square, glass vase by coiled wire. It was stunning inside of the reception hall (too dark to photograph, unfortunately). This idea would be so adaptable to any scheme because the wire comes in a wide variety of colors. A softer look could be obtained by using a round vase and wired ribbon. A set of three would make for an breathtaking center piece. So simple and so chic.

Cost Effectiveness: Some Extra Cash Won't Hurt

Wimmer Wedding: Yellow, Purple, White, Brown

A merried assortment of brightly hued flora, reminiscent of breezy summer fields - perfect for those relaxed, yet vibrant barn, mountain, or backyard weddings.

For the Bride:

Bursting with vibrance!

How lovely! The Sunflowers aren't allowed to be too commanding, placed with the bold purples of Iris and Fuji Mums. The creamy Vendela Roses lend a touch of tradition, and the Pixie Carnations add some light texture. Solid Aster, Salal, and loops of Bear Grass hint at a mountain valley feel. The stems were wrapped with a sheer, satin finished brown ribbon, held by purple pearlized pins. It was a dreadfully hot August day, and the bouquet held up remarkably!
