Alice in Autumnland

   Sorry about the cheesy post title. I tried to stop myself, but I just had to do it. This is a bouquet I did last week for you guessed it a girl named Alice. Alice is one of my favorite names of all time. I  enjoyed doing this wedding, not only was Alice a pleasure to work with but I use to babysit her fiance. So it was special that I got to be a part of their special day. Thanks Alice and Sam.  

Bright Corsages

Yesterday I spent sometime at the Flower Basket with my friend Macie making corsages. We had a great time we talked, laughed, did flowers and talked a little trash. I love days like that. 

Orange and Green

  We have a bright green wall in the salon. I think the paint color is called Greentree, it is one of my all time favorite paint colors. The other day my husband took some bright orange metal picture frames and hung them on the green wall. It is so cool looking and the color combination inspired the flower arrangement above. Thanks Shep.

Dark Millet

I did this arrangement for the salon this week, and it is the second time this month I have been drawn to this dark millet. (It is the near black pointy plant in the arrangement) It is so beautiful to me. It might be that it is kinda Gothic and that strikes a cord with the Halloween lover in me.

Out of Season

I went to the flower shop today to price out some weddings I have been working on and get some flowers for the Salon. For some reason it didn't seem right when I walked into the cooler and found three buckets of Tulips. Don't get me wrong I love Tulips but the weather is starting to cool down a bit and I am getting so excited about the opportunity to wear scarves and jackets. For some reason it just didn't seem right.......but I am OK with that. 

Challenge

I enjoy coming up with a floral design based on a theme or an inspiration picture. I did this bouquet a couple weeks ago. I was given the two pictures above to base my design off of and here is what I come up with.

Super Roses

I am a huge fan of English Tea Roses, but to be honest they are very fragile. They smell amazing but bruise very easily.  So when it comes to the real work horse of the floral industry you can't look past the commercial rose. It comes in so many amazing shades and this one is one of my favorites. It is called Super Green. Isn't that so much fun!! Regular green rose by day "Super Green" by night. Love it.
