Natural and Organic Wedding

This wedding was all about earthy, natural and textural elements. The Bridal bouquet was composed of velvety white Matthiola with its ruffly plumb clustered blossoms. Spires of Ornithogalum whose delicate white daisy like flowers open at the base and extend into tight spikes that give the design added depth. Succulents are used like an open rose but the leaves are thick and waxy which is the opposite of the green Dianthus with its moss like quality. I'm amazed that this fluffy cluster is a member of the carnation family! Tiny orbs of  grape vine are  repeated in the ball shaped green pompons. The finishing touch - a wonderful handle of wool roping accented with a rosette of frayed cotton duck with an embroidered center with french knots of twine and pearls.

A Bridesmaid bouquet

 I love the texture and color of the succulents with the twiggy grapevine.

I hope the photographer gets a better shot of the boutonniere. I wrapped a tiny bundle of twigs with wool, twine and tiny leafed angel vine, then attached matthiola and ball pompons.

Impatient with the Rain

April showers bring May flowers. Right?  Well, it's true and we do need the rain. But I've been so busy at the shop that my time time has been limited so, I'm craving a day off that can be spent with a spade and trowel.

I came across this beautiful centerpiece from Bontanica and I wanted to share the wonderful spring colors and varieties with you.

It's a very humble design - just a straight forward centerpiece - but the colors are so lovely. Enjoy.

 I am taking advantage of a few quiet moments to make good on my word to feature the clever and talented Marcia Phillip. Take a peek at the MacKenzie Childs Designer Showcase this past May.


Her table was so oh la la. I made a few silk nosegays to her specifications but all the rest is all Marcia and MacKenzie.

Love, love the mix and match colors Marcia chose

In addition to her talent, she has two wonderful Burmese cats. They have cat personality to the 10th power and they stole my heart
