holiday arrangements

I've been real busy at work lately, trying to get my quotas done of Christmas arrangements. Yes I know, Christmas. But at least it get me excited for the holidays!

Here's some recent creations I have made....

Pumpkin basket arrangement with mums, sunflowers, hydrangeas and fillers.



Magnolias, berries, roses, and fillers in another fall piece.

And the starting of Christmas, I have been getting some strange looks from customers lately, "Christmas already??" I've been trying out some new design techniques, what do you think?

I really liked how this arrangement turned out. You can't really see it but it's in a beautiful red and gold mosaic glass container, perfect little sparkle!



We have gotten in a lot of black pieces for Christmas, the look is very dramatic I think!

I'll be posting more in the future, I only have about 800 more to do... wish me luck!

fall telephone hutch

Yes thats right, MORE fall decorating!! :) I have been busy changing over my whole house, giving it that autumn feel.
Another spot I decorate seasonally is my telephone hutch; another piece I bought from Pottery Barn. I got 4 of these cute little Halloween decorations at Michaels, the faces on them are too stinkin' cute!!

A couple of weeks ago my Mom and I went to a little shop and the woman was selling beautiful dried hydrangeas. They are the gorgeous shade of green. I used an old dresser drawer for the base container for the arrangement.

After going to the Haunted Mansion in Disney and seeing the spooky decorations there, I wanted to dress up the lighting fixture over our dining room table. I bought a bag of fake spider webbing and attached small little dangling spiders to finish the look. The funny thing is that I HATE spiders with a passion but I decorate with them all over the house...hmmm.... kinda funny huh? My hubby asked if I was going to be able to sit and eat at the table every night with them hanging down in my face...we'll see!!

Now I'm off to decorate the outside of my house!! Pumpkin, leave and gourds.

coffee table vignette

Another arrangement in my home. This one is on my coffee table in the living room. Surrounded by a scrapbook from our recent cruise and our wedding album. This one I made at work when I first started at my current job, it was finally marked down and it was always one of my favorites I made, so I had to get it!! Arrangement with tan hydrangeas, spanish moss, and green ferns. Simple and elegant.

wedding flowers

Yesterday was a very busy day at work, I had to create wedding flowers for a customer. This was her second wedding, so it was a smaller event and wasn't really sure what she wanted. She showed me a piece of fabric she was going to wear for her wedding dress, a beautiful taupe color.

I picked out some neutral colors and added a touch of pink. I wrapped the stems in a satin taupe ribbon.

This is the matron of honors bouquet, similar to the brides, just a little smaller and with purple accents. She is wearing a deep eggplant color with taupe colored shoes. I sure they are going to look beautiful carrying these bouquets matching perfectly.

These are the boutonnieres and corsages; same color theme for each.

I also had to make this beast of a bow. A customer came in wanting a huge bow for a sweet 16 present... a car!! It took awhile to make, but hopefully it will make the statement!

my new wreath

A new wreath I made for over the stairwell going into our family room. I have had a collection of gorgeous silk flowers that I've been wanting to do something for quite some time. I'm really happy with how it turned out, with the different shades of pinks, purples, greens, and whites.

sweet teacups

This little sweetie and others were added to the shop. I love how they would look cute in any place in the home, and priced so low how can you go wrong!?!

Yellow Tea Cup Arrangement

Here is my 1st floral arrangement on etsy, it's the first of many!! There is also some other new items in the shop, happy Sunday!! :)
