Britt in Bloom Part 1

For my little sister's 20th birthday dinner, I wanted to do something that wasn't too pretty and feminine. She is really into dark greens, browns, wood and red at the moment, a bit of a Ralph Lauren 70s vibe.

Unfortunately, the day after Mother's Day it's hard to find anything other than white chrysanthemums.

So I went with this pink and green palate. I tried to ground the sweet pink roses with the lime green chrysanthemums, and added some magnolia leaves for a bit of brown. I used the dark pink tulips more for their leaves, although as the flowers have opened the darker pink is adding a new visual element which I'm really enjoying.

The great photos are thanks to the birthday girl herself, love you! xx

Pink in bloom

My little baby friend, Sara, turned one today. Yesterday she had a rad party. She's not a huge pinky girl, in fact she for her party outfit she was rocking a pair of leopard leggings with a faux fur vest. But I struggled to get past pink with her blooms, as there wasn't much around (and I was too lazy to hit the flower markets). Forgive me, baby?

Boys in Bloom

My friend Lewis lamented on the fact that boys don't get given flowers. He says that when boys get flowers it feels just the same as when girls get flowers - ie AWESOME.

So I gave some boys some flower love on the weekend. Maybe they were just being nice, and they really wanted more vodka, but I really liked giving them blooms.

Dhalias and orchids  for Adam....

Tulips and red bouvardia for Derek. 

Happy Party Boys! 

Em in Bloom

 I had about five minutes to make Em these birthday blooms, it's not my finest posey, but it's pretty!
