Nesting Time

Wreath with blue robin's eggs, feathers, and dried materials 

Wreath with blue robin's eggs, feathers, and dried materials. I just love the burgandy and the robin's egg blue combination

Happy Labor Day!

Iris, Freesia, Asiatic lilies, Bear grass, Stock, and Flax

We chose to have a bolder take on the traditional reds, whites, and blues for Labor Day. Instead, we have the deep burgundies, royal purples, and creamy lavenders. Perfect for a Labor Day display for restaurants, buffets, offices, and other venues. 

Lily Entrypiece

Beautiful entrypiece made in an urn pedistal with lilies and grevillea

The lighting was a little off, so I moved the piece into an adjoining room to hopefully photograph the piece better. Too bad, I should definitely get a photobox so I can correct the lighting. With this yellowy wash you can't respect the amazing hue of these lilies with the gladiolus and grevillea

Winter Camellias

Even though we don't get much of a winter here on the central coast, it is still amazing to watch these winter bloomers take over the garden. The camellia bushes/trees are dripping with heavy camellias and buds that are reminiscent of peonies!

In Love with Hellebore

Hellebore arrangment

Hellebores are blooming in winter right now along the central and northern California coasts! These came from an estate woodland garden in Atherton, CA

Hellebore and Chinese Fringe Flower foliage

Burgandy & Ivory

Long-stem Bridal BQ

We used dahlias, lilies, hydrangea, and some vines to loop in and around the BQ

Dahlias, Rudbeckia & Amaranth

Sun-orange and burgandy 

I love including the dahlia buds. Just adds some sweetness.

Dahlias, snaps, and safflowers

Chose a neutral colored wrap to really make the flower colors pop instead of competing with the flower colors.

Summer spice

I felt very "Dia de los Meurtos"-inspired...you may see something in
that theme from me soon!

And the arrangements for the tables

Indigos & Violets

We think the extra glam in the arrangement and in the base keeps the "garden vibe" from being too informal. It is youthful with a little glitz!

The vines are woven through the centerpiece to entertain the eye

Dahlias, agapanthus, statice, liatrus, alstroemeria, snaps...

Inspired by a garden theme...and BLUE. I have this absolutely beautiful agapanthus 'Gold Strike" that has gold and green variegated foliage and holds this stunning deep indigo and royal blue flowers throughout the summer months on the central coast.
