I feel as though I may get this impatient for the arrival of Spring every year, but the cold temps we had this last winter were fierce. All of the blooming branches, tulips, jonquils, frittilaria, etc. really help to lift my spirits. Prom season is on the horizon, and Mothers Day follows quickly behind. We […]
We are a small and eclectic floral studio trying to offer the community an alternative to the traditional “FTD-style” design. Each and every design is a one of a kind creation, so we’re always thankful that folks will allow us the trust to make them something lovely without seeing what that is ahead of time. […]
As a gay business owner, it seems obvious to say that we’re here to serve all folks regardless of their gender status, race, religion and so forth. However, when I recently attempted to book the services of a DJ for a birthday party I was hosting in a local eatery, I was turned away from […]
Folks that follow us on Instagram frequently ask about our photo area set-up. They talk to us about their regret not having a dedicated area to snap some picks. Well…… *news flash*, neither do we. Our studio produces a surprising amount of designs on any given month, but from front to back we only […]
Certainly Spring brings with it a wealth of color and tender bulb flowers and blooming branches, but these deep plum tones are a bit special. The deep peony-like plum ranunculus and the checkerboard-patterned fritillaries melagris are some of the flowers we’re using in some bridal work this weekend. Combined with some tender branches, foliage and […]
We recently made this lush bridal bouquet in tones of deep purple contrasted with a vibrant spring green. It featured flowers such as parrot tulips, lilacs, astrantia, fritillaries, clematis, orchids, black raspberries, a few anthurium leaves, some white blooming crabapple and green hydrangeas. To contract the organic lines of this full and flowing bouquet, we […]
This is the tool we’ve been using in the workroom lately that allows us to quickly and very securely attach branches to one another to build structures or in this case, secure around a vase. I found out about this video on a YouTube video by Klaus Wagenar, so all credit for this discovery goes […]
Craig and I spent an afternoon this week constructing some 3-D hearts out of red-twig dogwood to get ready for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday. The dogwood when freshly cut is quite pliable yet also quite strong. The process of bending the willow and adding the attachment wires really requires two people unless you happen […]
We shared a photo on our last post of the amaryllis from Holland before they were used in this bride’s bouquet. I think you can see how their color fits well with other spring blooms to provide a soft garden-style effect. The large blooms nestle deep into the large billowy blooms of the hydrangea, and […]
Amaryllis ‘Fledermaus’ is this beautiful watercolor-esque blend of cream, green and coral color. I enjoy the way the deeper tones in the throat of the flower lure you in. Amaryllis such as this come direct from the Holland growers. They have a tall thick but hollow stem, so we insert a thin branch up inside […]
