Snowy Day Desktop.

It's snowing and I'm pretty sure everyone in this town is up at the hill... kinda wish I was too. But I'm not, so I've been cleaning off my computer's desktop (almost as fun). I found a couple bouquets that I like and didn't blog... or at least I don't remember blogging them! So for a snowy day in February these are little reminders of summer and fall.

The first is from a wedding this past fall. I can't believe I never blogged about it- also I can't find any pictures of it finished (if any photographers have it- would love to share it!). After this picture was taken I finished it off with a few curly willow loops.

Cymbidium Orchids, Autumn Leaves, Flame mini callas, hyperium berries, gold mum

The second one was a wrap that went out from the store last fall. Just a fun mix of tulips, coxcomb, Leuco, pods & pitt.

Hope you are enjoying your day! (and doing something better than tidying your desktop!)

The Crunchy Ryckman Bouquet!

Micheline of Ryckman Photography has been blogging a series on different colour palettes. One of our bouquets is featured in her Garden Pallette blog today- check out the blog- here!

With the echinacea, cymbidium orchids, mokara orchids,  lilies, berries, and ti leaves, and twigs; my favourite thing about this one is texture- it's so crunchy! But the deep pink/purple/reds combo meld together so well, it manages to keep a soft romantic feel.

2011 is looking bright!!

The shop was pretty busy today, so thought I would share some pics of a few that headed out the door.

Green button mums, solidago, buplerum, pale pink gerberas

Beauty in the land of Blog: FRESH Photography

This morning I was doing one of my favorite things... wandering through the land of blogs (floral and photography blogs to be more specific). I love the creativity that is out there, and I especially love it when you find someone from your neck of the woods, doing amazing work! (I also love that I can excuse it as "research" for work!) Well today I stumbled across the FRESH Photography blog and kinda got real excited- so creative! I was pouring through it post by post and stumbled across a Fernie wedding she had done this summer- it was one of mine and one I was wishing I had better images of. Well here they are- LOvE & LoVE!!
