It’s Friday and …

… we have something crazy-sexy-cool for you!

Emma Hack

These amazing photographies by Emma Hack, a sculptor, photographer, painter and illustrator are simply unique. The detail is unbelievable, a great balance of illusion and reality.

Just watched her short documentary film ‘Native Mandala’ and I am completely blown away by the amount of work that is put into these masterpieces, unreal! You have to watch it!

Funny boutonnière idea reminding me of my childhood

van

Just found the funniest and craziest boutonnière idea while checking out Style Me Pretty’s Blog!

This soooo reminds me of my childhood, I was obsessed with arts & crafts and always used tones of those colorful pipe cleaners.

What a creative, and mostly, appropriate idea for a candy themed wedding, love it! Can’t stop smiling, these people are so cool!

Working with one of the best wedding blogs Style me pretty!

What an honor it was to work with the best of the best on this Style me pretty photoshoot!

When our dear friend Azar from Principal Planner approached us to create the floral designs for this awesome photoshoot, we screamed YES! It is not every day you get the opportunity to be featured on one of the best wedding blogs out there … what an achievement for us, we are so proud.

The whole process started with an inspiration board we had to portray in our designs, the colors being white, black and light blue with a vintage flare. After hours of brainstorming and shopping with Azar, ”From Paris With Love” came to life! We used white and blue hydrangeas, stunning white roses, white dahlias, white peonies, black callas and white astilbe. Along with Azar’s breathtaking design of the room, the result is amazing and Davina + Daniel were there to capture all this greatness!

Thank you again Azar for choosing us amongst all the sensational vendors you picked, working with you is always crazy fun!

Purple the popular color of this season!

purple

Purple has been soooooo popular this season, it’s unreal!

This color comes in many shades, some with tones of pink, others going more towards the blue or even the eggplant color, they all look amazing. We love using mokara and dendrobium orchids, also callas and roses for our purple bouquets. Let’s not forget about the beautiful brading of the bouquets and boutonnières we can create using different color silk ribbons.

Expect to see purple on our blog this summer, you’ll love it!

Simple white calla bouquet

Simple white calla bouquets …

I love the look of these pictures, from the weathered look of the wall, to the cement floor, to the lovely brading of the bouquets I sketch and Gen recreated. No cazy designs, just flowers at their pure state and a little touch of style.

It’s all about the details when you want to make something simple special!

Here are MaryAnn and Eric’s centerpieces!

As I mentionned last friday, MaryAnn LOVES butterflies and wanted them incorporated in the centerpieces. We thought tying them to branches inside the vase and laying them on the flowers would look lovely, and it did. The colors were awesome, it truely was a girly girl flower concept!

Working with Karen Ortizo, the wedding planner, was great, hope to do it again soon!

MaryAnn & Eric Wedding at Intercontinental Hotel in Montreal

F56812294

MaryAnn and Eric got married on July 17th at the Intercontinental Hotel in Montreal.

Since they live in Florida, we discussed and designed their wedding flowers from a distance which was quite challenging but so great to see how much faith they had in our work! She LOVES butterflies and wanted a cream, green, cranberry and different shades of pink color pallet. Peonies were the main element, with roses and hydrangeas we were able to give her the bouquets of her dreams!

We will be showing off her centerpieces on monday, can’t wait!
