Last week I made this woodland bouquet as a demo piece for the wedding workshop in the studio.

The miniature phalaenopsis were the perfect long lasting flower to complement all the textures.

The sides of the shoe were covered with club moss, the sole with cyclamen and the heel with dreacena  and cyclamen leaves – succulent leaves covered the inside of the shoe.

The purse was decorated with succulents, hellebore, hypericum viburnum and sea star fern.

It was such a thrill when Nacre, a beautiful French flower magazine, contacted me to request images for their spring issue. And it was such a delightful surprise when they chose this image of a botanical headpiece for the cover . Thank you Sarah Pardini for modeling and Ted Mishima for the wonderful image!

Yesterday I posted pictures of one of the arrangements that Oregon Bride Magazine  had ordered for their booth for the Portland Bridal Show this weekend.

The  structural arrangement that we created was inspired by the design on the cover of the brilliant book: Botanical Art: For Your Eyes Only, by Jo Jarvis and Sarah Horne. Manzanita branches were the support for the ‘chandelier’ part of the structure; and a gnarly old branch was perfect for the vertical element.

Oregon Bride Magazine ordered a couple of large arrangements for their booth for the Portland Bridal Show this weekend. It is such a delight when clients  give us carte blanche; thank you Heather!

For years I have decorated endless numbers of small containers with textures, but never a large vessel. I bought the largest French bucket that I could find and covered it with moss. And then I glued hundreds of succulents, berries and blossoms. Patience definitely was a big part of this project…The intricacy of the vessel was off-set by a large bunch of blooming honeysuckle branches. Blooming branches were a bit tricky to come by, but luckily Glenwood Farms had these fabulous bunches. Photographer Ted Mishima came by yesterday to capture these beautiful images. We were lucky that the sun decided to be part of the experience.

It always is a delight – albeit it happens rarely – when clients give us ‘carte blanche’ to do the flowers for their wedding or event… The bride’s only request was that I would incorporate a small piece of honeycomb that she gave me.

This couple was married at Bridal Veil – a stunning setting in the Columbia Gorge. And they loved woodlands…
