One of our favorite blooms, back in season.....

Dahlias......

They're back. :)

Back from the Flower Show....

Back from the flower show at OKC's Greenleaf!

(And let me tell you: their new building is amazing.)

Not to mention our designer for the evening, Vonda LaFever, was also amazing. Greenleaf & the Oklahoma Board did a fantastic job of bringing her in and hosting a lovely inspiration workshop for the state.

And not only is Vonda a tops designer, she is so nice. Absolutely engaging personality, fascinating to watch and learn from, and also, quite funny.

Wonderful job for everyone involved! It was super fun, Greenleaf's new coolers are top notch and the place looks remarkable.

Let's end on one of our favorite arrangements from LaFever:

But I love anything with green glads and orange roses. :)

Olympics: The Victory Bouquet & Opening Ceremonies!

We can't wait for opening ceremonies tonight.

The Victory Bouquet - Loving the colors & the herbs! So perfect!

 

 

And of course, part of what we love about every Olympic season is seeing what is chosen for the winner's bouquets!

Be sure to check out this article on Flowerona for all the breakdown on whats in these beauties. The elements for the victory bouquet can be quite restrictive in terms of size & shape, so its always fun for us to see what creativity can develop within those guidelines!

For Mother's Day: A Very Special Dendrobium Orchid

This just in....very special for Mother's Day!

These dendrobium orchids are naturally a shade of fuschia, but they've been stem-dyed blue - causing them look almost neon in color!

If you're looking for something special for a modern mom or just something a little more unusual be sure to check these beauties out!

Mother's Day is THIS upcoming Sunday (May 13th) so don't forget!  :)

Easter: This Sunday!

Oh, we've got some super cute arrangements ready for your favorite Easter bunny.

(See the boronia? Love, I tell you!)

And we have a ton of the freshest springtime flowers in right now just in time for the holiday. Iris? Daffodils? Tulips? Hydrangeas? Boronia? :)


All here and available to brighten up your Easter. 

And don't worry if you haven't ordered your Easter lilies yet - there's still some good looking ones here!

Flower Power: Boronia

Oh my..... We KNOW its springtime when Boronia arrives at the shop. As soon as the box is opened, these beauties knock us out with their gorgeous fragrance! Seriously, you don't get much more fragrant than boronia and they're only around during this time of year.

Be sure to give us a call to snap some up soon - it never lasts long because we looooove to use it!

Think Pink.

  Yes...we're thinking pink this month. 

 We're thinking pink for every survivor, for every lost loved one, for every individual in the middle of their battle and every family member or supportive friend that's walked beside you through it all.

Don't forget, friends... 

Think Pink. 

September Wedding: Fall Elegance

Oo, we've been teasing with this one all week! And it was GORGEOUS. We absolutely loved working this wedding with all its lovely fall colors and all the varieties of flowers. And the use of those lanterns? Perfect.

I mean, look at the way this piece turned out:

Reception Centerpieces

Oooooo....those colors! And all the different textures and shades! In that piece alone we have (ready for the list?) candlelight roses, dahlias (in purple, red, gold), amaranthus (in green & burgandy), hypericum berries (red & green), calla lilies (black schzwalder & mango), freesia (gold & purple) and seeded euc...whew!

And you will continue to see variations of that list throughout the whole ceremony, but certainly in the rest of receptions pieces that follow:

Bride's Table

Cake Table

Also at this wedding was a beautiful outdoor staircase that led down to the reception. The bride & groom were announced at the top of it and had their entryway leading down it. How beautiful! This birdcage was at the top:

 

 

Love the draping amaranthus. 

And there were mixed arrangements leading their way down the stairs. At the reception these floral pieces had candle holders with electric votives, as it was just turning dusk. Perfect timing.

A few of the stair pieces:

 Can't wait to show you the rest!

Gorgeous Fall Wedding: Just the Teaser!

Congratulations to our Paige & Eric!! We're so excited for you guys and wish you ALL the best in the future.

Check out this teaser of their gorgeous wedding! More to come later this week!

Could that be a reception piece I see?

Don't forget your boots!

We're got an upcoming rehearsal dinner that will feature cowboy boots as star centerpieces! Don't be afraid to look around for worn or discarded pieces that still reflect your personality or party. Sometimes they provide the most character!

The Return of the Sunflowers

Guess who's baaaaaack? :)

One of my favorites! They always look so happy!

We've already had so many requests for these, that they're sure to go quickly each week. They'll be here throughout the fall, so be sure to take advantage while they're here!

Currently in our Coolers!

This mod arrangement went up in our coolers yesterday and it was too cute not to share! Orange gerber daisies & carnations with green button mums. Touches of wirework.

2011 Weddings: Pinks, Creams & Greens Part 3

Here we are, the final segment of our grand wedding at Oak Tree! Finally, we're to the ceremony! (If you missed it, Part 1 & 2 are just below! They walk you through the reception and bridal party pieces.)

Now, Oak Tree's gazebo & grounds are so pretty on their own that it doesn't demand much decoration. In this case, our bride went with simple touches, just enough to enhance the site, but not to overwhelm it. Take a look:

Okay, so the W stands out a bit! But it was supposed to!

Our bride was using her soon-to-be last initial as a theme throughout the entire wedding, so she really wanted it to walk through it on her way up the aisle!


Almost 200 roses later and voila! A 'W' appeared!


The gazebo was touched with two pieces on each side:




The same flowers as in the reception pieces: green hydrangeas & dendrobium orchids, deep fuschia carnations & sweet william, pink alstromeria, calla lilies & asters & curly, curly willow.

I swooned a bit over the way the arrangements looked under those lanterns.

2011 Weddings: Pinks, Creams & Greens Part 2

Be sure to check out yesterdays post for Part 1 (the reception) of this gorgeous extravaganza at Oak Tree in Edmond!

Now let's move on to the part you're waiting for... the bridal party.

All. Beautiful. Callas.
Yes. That's what we're talking about.



The Bridal Bouquet:

Love those stunning green tips. It makes the white stand out so much more.

The Bridesmaids Bouquet:


The bridesmaids wore black dresses, so these Garnet Glow calla lilies really stood out! Just a touch of black pins tied their bouquets to their dresses.

Mothers Corsages:
Father's Bout:

This was a military wedding, so there were no boutonnieres for the groom or groomsmen. They were sure handsome in their uniforms!

One last look...

All the callas used in the wedding were specifically mini callas. Those soft green tips really make this piece. Love it when the flowers come in so, so lovely.

2011 Weddings: Pinks, Creams & Greens Part 1

Oh my....can we go ahead and classify this as one of our FAVORITE weddings?! This past Saturday we were moving and grooving up to Oak Tree in Edmond - one of the nicest country clubs in the area (and with super friendly staff!).

Seriously, Julie at Oak Tree is absolutely phenomenal. She'll take awesome care of you.

There's so much to this wedding! Let's go backwards a bit and start with the reception pieces:

I loooove this look. Wrapped up in that glass cylinder is curly willow intermingled with pink and white callas. See?

Love. Love.




More on those airplanes in a minute.

These pieces were filled with green hydrangeas & dendrobium orchids, pink callas, asters, alstromeria & deep fuchsia sweet william & carnations with curly willow stretching to the sky.

And then...the CAKE arrived!


Pink calla lilies tucked into the cake...

This gorgeous creation was designed by Gypsy Cakes in Edmond. Such sweet people making such sweet cakes!

We don't know where these airplanes came from, unfortunately, but they're a super cute idea! The groom is a pilot in the Navy, so this small decorative touch could double as favors. (For this wedding the favors included their initials and wedding date on a golf ball! What a great idea for a golf course setting.)

And finally, the toss/guestbook bouquet that will give you a sneak peak at whats to come with the bridal....


Just gorgeous.

Oak Tree Wedding

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? Hope you're finding ways to stay cool!

We worked a wedding on Saturday up at the beautiful Oak Tree Country Club in Edmond and I can't wait to show you pics. In the meantime though, just to whet your appetite, here's a sneak preview with more to come later this week!

Calla Lily Design

This arrangement just went out for an unusual calla lily design. We're always a fan of getting to be creative, and this style is pretty popular right now, but you're the reason we do it! Tell us, what do you think? :)

Sympathy Gift Items

This pretty little piece went out to a funeral a few days ago. We love to incorporate gift items into any of our work, but its particularly sweet to have a keepsake after a service.

Dahlia Love

We LOVE dahlias.


Love.

So we're so excited to announce: they're back in season, baby! These beauties come in oranges, purples, burgandys, reds, yellows, whites.... yum. And what's more exciting than being back in season?

They're back in our shop. ALL SUMMER. Don't miss out. :)

It's Moms Week!

It's Mothers Day week! We've got beautiful spring fresh flowers and plants in just for the occasion, so be sure to get your orders in early!

Here's one of our super cute specials for the week: Teleflora's Peek a Bird!
