Garden Blooms

The garden is abundant with spring foliage and flowers. The wet weather really has made everything take off. So I decided to do a bit of creative experimentation with some love in a mist with our ultra bright red Geraniums.

First we have a corsage with some berry leaves as a backdrop. Second, is a boutonniere and third we have a Geranium bouquet.

Spring Flowers from the Garden

Our garden is abundant with Roses, herbs and other plants that are on the verge of blooming. So here are a couple from last week that I picked an arranged. There will be more to come as everything is going off in different stages.

These garden roses are the best smelling flower and I love the color!

A cluster of Love In A Mist. The seeds were from my friend's wedding last year. 

The bush where these roses came from produces like crazy. The color is so vibrant and cheery. To add some interest I added leek buds (those long crazy things) and the purple flowers are chives.

Lilacs!

I love Lilacs! They are such a striking flower and they smell soo good! These particular flowers are from my boyfriends house in El Cerrito. I decided to go with lots of vibrant color so I put them in a vintage teal glass candy jar from my collection.

Flower Experimentation

Spring has sprung and the flowers are fantastic! There are so many vibrant colors and varieties that really get my creative juices going.  Today, I am posting arrangements I put together with the excess flowers from my Bloomingdale's/Baccarat Event as you can't let these things go to waste.

First is a portrait of all three compositions. Starting from the bottom we have Poppies then in the middle are Pink Anemones with Yellow Freesia and at the top are Parrot Tulips with some purple and pink daisies.

Baccarat/Bloomingdale's Event

This past weekend I had the opportunity to work with Baccart and Bloomingdales by putting together a Mother's Day floral display using some of Baccart's beautiful crystal. Like with everything, pictures say so much more than I could, so here they are.

Our Marketing Materials!
Baccarat's Signiture Red Crystal.

The design concept was to match the floral arrangement to the corresponding Baccarat Lucky Crystal Butterfly. Below is the arrangement for the Lucky Topaz Butterfly.

This composition was for the iridescent butterfly which was placed in the Eye collection.


The a rich composition of purple was used with the new Geo Collection.


Tulips, gerrondo gerber daisies, anenomes and red roses create a vibrant red composition in the Gingko Collection.


The Center Table was a composition where red was the predominant due to it being Baccarat's signature color. The vase used is the Tornado Vase and the platter is part of the Mille Nuits Collection.


This vase got a lot of attention due to its unique shape and I think the flowers did it justice as well.
