Prom Season has begun

The fun has started with the local high school prom season. Here are a couple of wristlet corsages that I managed to take pictures of before they ran out the door.

Glitter and sparkle and fun little accents are the trends this year. As well as a mixture of blooms in each corsage for an interesting mix of textures and colors. And of course the newest rage are the keepsake wristlets that will last long after the prom. Made from a variety of rhinestones, pearls, vibrant beads, or the soft tones of the ocean and sky.

We also create individual handcrafted wristlets when the occasion demands. The gold bracelet with the pearl accents, pictured above, is one of our handcrafted designs.

Late Summer Wedding

Some pictures of a wedding that I did last summer. Cara and Jeff were married in a field behind their home surrounded by corn fields and horse pastures. It was a perfectly lovely setting on a typically lovely Northwest Washington day. She had chosen of green for her bridal flowers so we used vibrant lime cymbidium orchid, chartreuse button mums, spring green hydrangeas, and a few Jade roses mixed in with the ever popular Super Green roses. I also mixed in a few stems of white stock for it's sublime fragrance, white lisianthus with it's papery thin petals and several heads of varigated kale for both texture and color.

The Super Green Roses are one of my favorites, not just because of their delicate color or because they have such a long vase life, but mostly because of the shape of the rose. From the ruffly edges of the petals to the wide, open cup shaped bloom. This rose is a stand out for any occasion
