2007.....FULL....and BIG

So, things have continued to come in pretty steady the last few weeks, so much so, it's been difficult to get items on the floor before another shipment has arrived! With that said, I would like to tell you that it's the 13th of June, and we are almost out of baskets to put floral picks in. Scary! It is certain that 2007 will mean a couple of things.....FULL....and BIG....

The presence of designer created wreaths, garlands, and floral arrangements has started...actually it's already started to take over. And guys...when I say big is a word to keep in mind, I MEAN BIG. Everything is so lush and full.

With all of this said, I want to relay again, that if in the past you have been scared to try some floral or Christmas picks in your decorations for the holidays. Now is the time to try. First, you won't be disappointed (if you do it right), and two you will never be able to go back to plain ornament tree. There is such a selection of items. I think if something was available in gold or red glitter, we bought it, lol. And I can' t believe the prices...incredible values....

Until next time...

2007 Derby....Contemporary ( a little late I know)

I originally started this blog right after the Derby, I apologize that it has taken this long to get it up!

Last week it almost felt as though we were in the Derby ourselves! The entire week was a prep leading up until Friday night for Jim Gray's Derby party he holds annually at his home.

Going into the design for Jim, we wanted to bring something contemporary to it. Jim has a very broad artistic eye and appreciates many things others may overlook or even not understand. His entire home is almost a museum if you will with stark white walls, ebony wood floors, and art from all over the world.

Trying to match "traditional" Derby with his home has always been interesting. We have tried many things over the past 3 years, always different, always fun, and always sure to bring conversation! This year, we decided to go with a very graphic/color block inspiration with colors that came to mind when thinking of the word "warm".

At the entrance of his home, we greeted guests with a block of color right off the bat. This 22" x 22" box of color gave an immediate indication what people were in for! I love doing these style of arrangments, tight and compact, pave if you will. But warning, it takes more flowers than you ever expect!

On the ice sculpture table, we created two "pave" florals balls sitting upon 2 glass cylinders. It sounds simple, but the end result was striking. So beautiful. Due to the amount of flowers we had to do, fortunately we were able to do some of these "orbs" as we referred to them the day before, finishing them on site. And were they HEAVY........ An interesting tid bit, the floral foam ball that is under all of the flowers had to be custom made for us. The floral foam company didn't make them big enough for what we needed, so a local florist created them for us.

I just wanted to share this because this was a perfect example of simple, elegant, and impactful florals. Thinking outside of the box will always get you on a fun path!
