Little Christmas Family

Well this week has been crazy busy, but I just quickly wanted to share one of my favorite orders this Christmas season!
I was asked to create 4 medium sized and one "massive" Christmas arrangement. I decided I wanted them to coordinate but also be unique. I used a mercury glass hurricane for the four smaller and a larger colored hurricane vase for the massive. Here we go...

I'm expecting the next couple of days to be busy, busy, busy!  But I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas!  I'm off to the land of sun and sand for a couple weeks at the beginning of January and then we will be an exhibitor at The Wedding Fair  in Calgary, AB on January 22nd. So if any of you Calgary Brides are interested in getting married in the Beautiful Town of Fernie come check us out, or even just stop by to say hi! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures at the show (and at the beach!). Merry Christmas & see you in the New Year!

Loving Memory

This arrangement was made to honor a loving Daughter/Mother. I was asked to make something that would arc over the Box Urn & Photo (obviously the ones in the pic were just from my shop to get the scale). They wanted it to have a feel of an Angel Arc.  I hope it captures what they were wanting.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Celebrations of a Love & a Life

Today I've been involved in celebrations of a love & a life. First the love. Dayna & Paul are Fernie Locals who quite possibly picked the whitest day this year for their wedding! Dayna was a dream to work with. Originally we had planned on a bouquet made entirely of orange orchids. Unfortunately when the order came in on Friday the flowers were frozen solid, time for plan B! After a few phone calls and a quick drive to Cranbrook, I was able to secure purple orchids and some tulips and came up with this beaut! Congratulations Dayna & Paul!

Now for the celebration of a life.  This piece was made for the funeral service of a Fernie local.

Because of the need to change to Plan B with the wedding flowers I was left with wedding & funeral both to be done on sunday night. It was a late work day but luckily I got some help with the prepping of the funeral wreath. The wreath was first lined inside and outside with white carnations, next the middle was filled in with variegated pitt. Finally a burst of color and texture was added to the bottom (blue eryngium, orange mokaras, Orange lilies, red tulips, white roses, yellow mimosa, and variegated tropical greens).
