Now that wedding season is upon us, I'm back to working in the studio coming up with creative ideas. It excites me to no end when I can touch flowers.
In honor of the start of wedding season, I'm also launching a new series; it's a case study of inspiring pieces that I'm working on, aptly named Inside My Floral Studio. I have to thank my bride, Nicole for inspiring me. For her late summer wedding, she wanted something unusual with elements of natural textures in hues of butter yellow, creams, and soft ivory with lovely droopy flowers and foliage like amaranthus. Though I created this centerpiece for someone else, I have to do a shout out to Nicole for giving me a design challenge that I'm lovin'. It's clients like her that make me think. Usually in the shower, the inspiration will hit me like it did this morning.
I hope you enjoy being Inside my Floral Studio.
To create this piece,
-Use a hollowed out birch log as your foundation.
-Fill the log with wet oasis and secure with moss and rocks.
-Make slits to the top of the birch.
-Add flowers through the slit and adhere to oasis.
-Fill sides with moss so that you cover your “mechanics”.
Recipe:
-(4 - 5) stems of white French Tulips
-(5) stems of viburnum
-(1) bunch of green amaranthus
-(5 - 6) stems of Reflexed ‘Creme de la Creme' imported roses
-(3) stems of white imported Mop Head Hydrangeas
-(1) stem of Nasturium vine( from an abandoned warehouse)
-(2 -3) stems of tree foliage
This arrangement at retail could be anywhere between $100 to $200 depending on the amount of flowers. The hollowed out birch was found at the floral market at Coast Dried Flowers (for those who are interested in purchasing them!)
