Crazy Busy.

Sorry for my lack of posts lately. Had a major computer issue that is finally being resolved. Do not let your virus definitions go out of date! The big day finally came for my best friend, and I was terribly busy trying to make her dream a reality. I have tons of pictures to post but just wanted to give you a preview!

Her bouquet was so amazing. It combines yellow spray roses, jade green roses, white eskimo roses, golden yellow celosia, antique green miniature hydrangeas, yellow freesia, green hypericum berries and curly willow tips. Wrapped with a silk chiffon grey ribbon. It was seriously one of the prettiest garden bouquets I have ever done!

Modern Floral.

I got very inspired at the vineyard the other day. We have a five leaf akebia vine growing up the back stairs and second story balcony. The vine blooms and then produces these huge, alienesque blue/grey seed pods. I really wanted to create a floral arrangement with these pods, they scream modern, haute couture floral design.

I took the seed pods and long curving pieces of the vine, and combined them with lambs ear and a pink succulent blooms I found on the property. I put the modern arrangement in a very traditional urn. The combination is so strange and unique, it really works to create a beautiful
look.
