Reed College Chapel: the gorgeous woodwork in this very intimate chapel lends itself perfectly for woodland arrangements.

Woodlands for a 40th Birthday Party!

Françoise — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:49:06 +0000

I didn’t have a chance to take pictures when I set up the arrangements, but here are some that I took in the studio, before delivery. Embellishing blank canvasses of wood is so much fun!!!

The minute I saw this piece of driftwood, I had to buy it. It looks gorgeous on it’s own and it is great fun to decorate !

An amazing piece of wood that I found while walking in the neighborhood after a winter storm.

Ariel and Aron were married on March 21, 2010 at the Forestry Center. Her woodland bouquet and the woodland centerpieces were perfect choices for this site.

Colorful Log Arrangements

Françoise — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:56:16 +0000

Usually the log arrangements are all about texture and I use very few flowers; after all texture reigns in the forests.

But for this memorial service, I learned that the woods and flowers had been favorites of the client’s father. So for once, flowers prevailed.
