It's the Holiday Season!

The past month has been very busy getting ready for Christmas and all of the flowers that go along with the season.

This bouquet was for the daughter of a dear friend and she wanted white roses with yellow and blue tips so I painted each rose. It turned out to be a beautiful bouquet that everyone loved.


The next wedding was fun because I got to work with peacock feathers. Another fun thing about this wedding and a couple others that I have done recently are using these fun new water beads that I have found. The beads are tiny and you put them water and let them soak it up till they get to about the size of marbles. In the arrangement above the vase is full of gel cubes just like the beads.







These arrangements have the water beads in them with some summersible lights. It was an outdoor reception and they looked great on the tables.


This purple bouquet was also fun to make. The purple wedding and the brown one were the same day. It was fun getting them both delivered.




This bouquet was for the day after Christmas. It was fun to mix the holly and berries with roses and gerber daisies.
