"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! 

Gale Wedding: Orange, Blue, and Ivory

When first approached with the colors "Burnt Orange" and "Navy", I'll admit- I was...hesitant. In the end, we created a lavish autumn assortment with appealing texture.

With a color combination such as navy and orange, the initial reaction in one's head is usually something like "CLASH CLASH CLASH" or "GO BRONCOS!". Usually, color experimentation is half the fun of floristry, but when I see bouquets where they've used orange Gerbera Daisies and Delphinium, I think there are better ways to go about such palettes. 

In this bouquet, I stuck with orange as the base floral color, and just used ribbon to tie in the navy. On the boutonnieres, we wrapped the stems in ivory ribbon and crimped navy boullion wire (I think I'll stick with straight wire next time I wrap, though).  

Now for the ingredients-

As the bride was using little pumpkins, fall-esque pasta and such for her centerpieces, the feel was an autumn one. Orange, red, and yellow. We loved(x3)! using the yellow Mini Callas in here. They really brighten up the look. The Mango Callas sit nestled amongst bunches of red Waxflower and fluffy bits of yellow Solid Aster. I think the Solid Aster adds a wonderful touch of texture, as I said - fluffy! Miss Erika did a wonderful job with those Lily Grass loops, don't you think?
