Brooklyn Wedding in Bloom

This has to be my favourite wedding so far. It was on the edge of Brooklyn, over looking the Statue of Liberty with really a beautiful floral design of stylish white blooms and lots of wild greens in mixed vessels. Really lovely, effortless style. 

Wild Bunch in Bloom

This bunch kind of reflects me today after 2 hours sleep (god damm you jet lag). Trying to pull it together but a bit of a mess. It works better on the bunch than it does on me. 

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

Friends in Bloom

Last week one of my friends asked me to create a bunch of blooms for one of my other friends. So nice. He used the words 'big, experimental and creative' in his brief. So, no pressure. 

Doing a big bunch was really nerve racking. My small hands and lack of arm definition made it very difficult to hold the bunch, and I actually felt sore for a few days! But  in the end, it was well worth the strain and the early weekend wake-up calls. 

March Markets in Bloom

The Saturday flower markets only have about a third of the stalls that trade through the week, but that's still plenty for the average home bloomer.

Stock can be a bit old, but it is super cheap. They had beautiful magnolia bunches for $8, and I got 25 of those awesome roses below for $15. I also discovered ginger flowers (the pinecone like pink flowers below) which are $6 for a huge (over a metre long) stem.

Where else would you rather be at 7am on a Saturday morning?

Spray Roses in Bloom

Don't say it, spray it!

Em in Bloom

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