It's in the fine details. Sometimes as a floral designer, it's hard to sometime think outside the box. One of things that I challenge myself with is to make things look exceptional, different. Exceptional design comes in many forms - unusual materials, unique interpretation, or detailed finishing work. This purple handbag is just one example of how I try to reinvent something out of the materials I already have within my reach.

By using very simple materials like round pinks, fabric ribbons, a block of Oasis and a wooden handle found at many fabric supply stores, I was able to transform my floral supplies into a handbag that replaces a traditional basket.

For the boutonnieres, I took a Phalenopsis orchid plant and removed a perfect bloom. I used jasmine vine that I grow in my front “garden”. This creates a unique look with resources that I have at my disposal.

As for the centerpieces. It's hard to find a container that matches unique and trendy colors. Inside of looking for a “deep eggplant” glass container, I took a low rectangular cube and covered it with two tones of ribbon which I found at my local floral supply store. Once again, I created a simple centerpiece with carnations and tulips, but made it look different by adding a two tone trim with ribbon.

I encourage all of you to think outside the box!
