A Fall Recap!

It has been a busy fall, and I completely fell behind in updating this blog, so I'm going to try to catch up with a fall recap!  September and October were fun months for flowers. The fall weddings were so colorful, filled with golden yellows, pumpkin oranges, cranberry reds, and eggplant purples!  I also met some great vendors this fall, and have tried to provide links for all of them!  I had the privilege of meeting an amazingly talented photographer, Heather Parker, who photographed my sister's wedding at The Omni Parker House in Boston, and I had the opportunity to meet and work with Michele Puopolo at JS Moran Special Event Planning and Management for the Family Services Legacy Gala. Check out the links below for some more great vendors! 

Here's a quick recap from the past two months:

Halloween arrangement

I'm looking forward to my last wedding of the season in a couple of weeks at the Lenox Hotel in Boston!

Christmas Blooms

Merry Christmas! I made two holiday arrangements yesterday for Christmas gifts. The first is a taller arrangement of roses, gerbers, and hypericum berries.

The second arrangement is a smaller version with lilies, roses, gerbers and greens.

My favorite part of both arrangements? The cranberries!!

Happy Holidays!

Class #1: Autumn Mix

Monday night was my first class in centerpiece design. The class is taught by an amazing Florist who followed her passion in floral design after years in teaching. One can only imagine how nice it must be to work with flowers every day after dealing with crazy teenagers every day for years!

The arrangement we worked on in the first class consisted of Black Magic Roses, orange roses, hypericum berries, mums, and other elements for unique touches such as silk leaves and curly willow stems. I'm not usually a huge fan of any kind of silk flowers, but the 4 leaves we stemmed and inserted added a nice harvest touch! Here's a few more pictures!
