Brides & Bubbly Bridal Show at Mere Bulles

Saturday I was one of the vendors at Mere Bulles first bridal show, Brides & Bubbly. You cannot go wrong with appetizers and mimosas! It was a great afternoon. I put together two bridal bouquets, one a traditional round bouquet, and another giant, fluffy bohemian style bouquet. The table was decorated with a large greenery centerpiece to show off my fliers and business cards, flanked by the bouquets. I also had some demo pieces: ribbon wrist corsage, boutonniere, and a mother's nosegay for people to enjoy. The bistros at Mere Bulles were decorated with little bud vases of roses and ranunculus.

I have to post two pics of this bouquet so I can show off the fun ribbon I put on. Oh I love ribbon!

Sweet, pastel pinks, peaches and oranges

The bride chose a sweet spring color combo of white/ivory, peach (gotta love Juliet garden roses), oranges, pinks and yellow.

Her mother hand-tatted the sorority handkerchief she included in her bouquet.

The groom worse two ranunculus blooms accented with seeded eucalyptus and lambs ear.

The bridesmaids were a little brighter to set them apart from the bride.

Mothers wore a cluster of ivory spray roses with ranunculus, seeded eucalyptus and lambs ear.

Grandmothers corsages.

Silks for Mere Bulles Restaurant

I recently created silk arrangements for Mere Bulles Restaurant in Maryland Farms. It was a challenge to design multiple arrangements that a lot of people see every day, would look good in all seasons, and also retain the character of the home in which they would sit. The restaurant is an old plantation home with a traditional historic feel, so real contemporary or minimalist-modern arrangements would look completely out of place.

These two arrangements flank that beautiful gilded mirror above the large fireplace in the living room.

I don't remember seeing the painting before I picked the flowers for this arrangement, but I really must have. How could that be chance that I coordinated with that gorgeous oil painting?

I think this is my favorite arrangement of the bunch, an asymmetrical arrangement of roses, lotus pods and orchids for the upstairs fireplace.

And I apologize for the poor picture quality. You can just see the arrangement I made for the old TV cubby above the bar. It really is a lovely composition of peaches, pinks and ivory. I was trying to get pictures of everything during business hours with customers and employees here and there.

Business Dessert Reception

I LOVE working with G Catering and Events. Guy and Burke (and the rest of their crew for that matter) are awesome to work with and they do everything top notch. Their food tastes even better than it looks! Last week we worked on a dessert reception for an office grand opening.
