Flowers to Wear

April 15, 2018
Ranunculus_corsage

Elegant and just different enough…ranunculus and sheer ribbon on a pearl bracelet band.

White_boutonnieres

So many great boutonniere options! Clockwise from the left: ranunculus, lisianthus, freesia, mini calla lily, tulip, stock. Who says you have to get a rose?!

These little wearables are such a big part of prom night! That’s why we put so much love and detail into each one we design. Ordering a week or more in advance is highly suggested since we only create a limited number! (Due to Mothers Day, the weekend of May 11-13th we will be limiting our corsage and boutonniere orders to the first 30.)

Pink&white_corsage

White dendrobium orchids, blush spray roses and filler on a wrap bracelet.

BlushOrchids

Give us a call or stop in and we will help you select the perfect floral accessories for your date and yourself.

Simple and sweet…a smaller corsage created on a gold cuff band.

Inspiration

March 11, 2018

Clients often ask how I am inspired to create the designs that they see featured on my sites and that are created daily. Well, I absolutely adore working with fresh flowers! It is honestly a joy to go into the studio each day and create designs to share with others using hand selected flowers and foliage.

My first source of inspiration is often the materials that are in season. I have deliveries of fresh product brought into the studio at least three times per week and most days, I take the time to “shop the trucks” (think flower markets on wheels with lots and lots of buckets) to find inspiration for the orders I will be filling.

We call this a flower pull. These bunches will soon become part of the daily floral creations. Many thanks to our wholesale rep, Kim from DWF Flint!

 

I also find inspiration in nature. I am constantly picking up fallen branches, pine cones, pieces of bark and even stones to add to designs when I am out on hikes. These treasures from nature can get stored for months until the right order comes in.

Natural_design_mushrooms

Natural sympathy design inspired by natural elements.

My background in the fine arts also supplies me with new ideas for arrangements. Lately, I am enjoying the pastel work of Odilon Redon. I find these floral pieces created in the early 1900’s so refreshing in their simplicity of design.

When you place an order, be sure to ask what inspires us and which blooms are our favorites of the week. I would love to customize a floral arrangement just for you!

Pick-me-up Ideas for the Cold Months

January 6, 2018
Home_diningtable

Protea and foliage designs created for my own dining table.

Let’s face it, the cold weather and shorter days really do have an effect on our mood. Even before I opened my own floral studio, I found that fresh flowers and plants were an easy way to lift my spirits.

Guest_room

Custom design created for the Bowman home, guest bedroom.

Whether you float a few fragrant blooms in a dish or a purchase more dramatic display, flowers at the bedside can set the tone for your entire day and make sleep all the more sweet!

And then there is the power of green plants. Just looking at them makes you feel healthy but there is also the fact that plants can purify the air and add oxygen to your space.

Succulents&moss

Succulent bowls available in a variety of sizes.

air_plant_wreath

Air plants and moss on a grapevine base.

Give us a call or stop by the studio to have a one-of-a-kind floral or plant arrangement created to carry you through until spring!

Autumnal Florals

October 22, 2017
vase_fall

Autumn Elegance ~from $69

Flowers are gifted for so many reasons…to cheer someone who is feeling down, to say, “Get Well,” to celebrate one of life’s big occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, etc.,) and to express sympathy. Whatever the reason for the order, my goal is always to spend a moment talking with the client (and my assistants are trained to do the same) in order to learn a bit about the recipient and the occasion.

Fall_centerpiece

Autumn Textures ~from $65 ($75, as pictured)

Most often, autumn floral arrangements become part of the decor in the recipient’s home. Our designs can be created in glass, in low ceramic or metal dishes, in wood or birch bark containers and even in pumpkins. Please let us know how we can create a custom design just for you!

fall_in_pumpkin

Fall in a Pumpkin ~from $65

box_gourds

Box of Autumn’s Bounty (includes wheat and gourds) ~from $65

Fall_birch

Signs of Autumn ~from $65

If you love one of these designs (created for a previous client,) please let us know by referring to it by name. I honestly strive to work with the freshest and most gorgeous product available to me each week so exactly replicating a past floral design doesn’t usually happen much in my studio. I do, however, promise that every order is treated with utmost care and a unique flair! 🙂

Pumpkin_succulents

Succulent Pumpkin (live succulents, mosses and dried materials are secured to the top of a real pumpkin) ~from $59

Tall_fall_vase
