“Klein maar fijn” my grandmother used to say – which means: “small but exquisite”
To this day, I prefer exquisite and delicate flowers to large and bold ones and I’ve always really enjoyed making smaller, detailed arrangements. Here are some examples that I did for an event; the diameter of the vases is about 2″ and they are 2-5″ tall. This was a very fun project!

Reception: University Club
Wedding Coordinator: Soiree

Lily-of-the-valley, sweetpeas, freesia, fringed tulips, bouvardia, peonies, alchimella made for a very seasonal bouquet!
Alison and Steve chose a great set-up for the reception at the University Club. The wide head table allowed for plenty of space for the flower garland in the center.
Earlier this month I did the flower arrangements for the opening night of “Modern Bride”, a photographic exhibit, hosted by Sarah Wizemann, the owner of Lille Boutique.
Wedding photography from Jamie Bosworth, Aisha Harley, Rebekah Johnson and Bryan Wolf – all of them are award winning local photographers – was displayed at Lille Boutique. This is a specialty shop, located on 1007 E Burnside, where you will find elegant lingerie in a comfortable setting.
There was also an exquisite trunk show of hand-crocheted bridal jewelry by Puiyi Tiffany Pang, the amazing creator of Muntedkowhai.
It is always a lot of fun to provide flowers for events like this! Thank you Jamie for taking these great pictures!
Majestic foxtail lilies!
Often the Bride and Groom choose unique flower decorations for the head table. For long, narrow tables, flower garlands are fabulous! But as you will see, there are many other choices.
