Topiary Tree


In our last class we made a topiary tree. Topiary is the art of creating sculptures in trees, shrubs, etc. Our topiary tree was created along the same idea, but is made solely out of flowers.

More Bouquets!

I made this bouquet in class just before making all the bouquets for Kate and Adam's wedding. This bouquet is made up of a mix of white and lavender roses and carnations.






...and Michael made this little number after cleaning up after Kate and Adam's wedding. I think I may have some competition on my hands!

Kate and Adam: A Connecticut Wedding


This weekend I did flowers for a wedding in CT. The bride asked for calla lilies in her bouquet and dark purple and green flowers for her bridesmaids. I ended up using spray roses, hydrangea, calla lilies and tulips for the bride's bouquet. The bridesmaid bouquets were made out of mini green hydrangea, alstromeria, poms, tulips and carnations. Moms had smaller bouquets with spray roses, alstromeria, tulips and poms. The guys had purple tulips and a calla for the groom to match the bride. I was so happy to have the opportunity to design these flowers for Kate and Adam!

(I had just sprayed these with a floral protector to keep them hydrated which is why they're a little shiny. This dries clear by the time they are worn.)


It was a pleasure working with Kate, and I wish her and Adam all the best! Congrats!

Flowers for a Cause


This arrangement was designed for our friend Sue, who was hosting a breast cancer fundraiser for her sister.
