For the Love of Flowers: Corinne and Jimmy

I met Corinne through a fabulous former client (thanks Carrie).  She and Jimmy were having a very small family event, with their ceremony at Loose Park, and an at home reception.  She came to me with beautiful swatches of paper from Paper Source in Fig and Sage and said she wanted lots of texture in her flowers.  Thankfully fall is a wonderful time of year for textural flowers, and I used beautiful plum dahlias, and coxcomb, green trick, and scabiosa pods.  I got creative with the bouquet wraps using fig and sage ribbon from Paper Source along with jute, and some raw silk from Midori.  Thanks so much to Corinne and Jimmy for letting us be a part of your special day, your flowers were so fun to create.

For the Love of Flowers: Pink and Green Heaven

One of my favorite things about doing flowers is working with and for my family and friends.  Recently my father in laws business celebrated their 25th anniversary and they hired me to do some flowers for their dinner.  I wanted to do something colorful and fun, and green and pink instantly sprang to mind.  I love being able to go to the wholesalers and just shop around for whatever tickles my fancy, and in this case it was peonies, asters, some green trick, and spiders, and these beautiful peach/pink rose they just happened to have on hand.  

Green trick is one of my favorites.  I love it's mossy/grassy texture.

I also made up a little bouquet to shoot before I stuck these guys in one of the arrangements.  The roses and peonies were just to full and lovely to pass up.
