A Dream Wedding with Principal Planner

FLower arrangement for Principal Planner

Working with Azar at Principal Planner this year has been nothing but a charm and we are so happy she approched us with this colorful and luxurious wedding. To dream of a contract like this would be an understatement, Gen and I are so thrilled to be a part of this stunning project!

The indications were simple: the bride LOVES flowers, quality before quantity, an arabian night color scheme and the incorporation of the national flowers of Egypt for the groom (we used papyrus) and Russia for the bride (since camomille isn’t in our color pallett but it is in the chrysanthemum family, we chose to use green santinis instead).

Here is a preview of the wedding flowers in sketches, we can’t wait to show you pictures, but you’ll have to be patient … the wedding is only in August! Stay posted!

White Roses Arrangement

white roses arrangement

The simplicity of white roses is quite pure and beautiful!

In these arrangements, the rose is really showcased as the main star and is joined by a bit of pittosporum leaves and brown bamboo stick to add style and a bit of volume. Having a green leaf inside the vase also helps to complete this simple yet elegant look.

Using a single type of flower always has such a great impact!

Flower Arrangement in the Orange Tones

Had an arrangement in the orange tones to create last week, here is what we came up with:

We hadn’t used orange pincushion flowers in so long, so I was very excited to buy them for Gen to use! As for the orange mokara orchids, they are regulars at the atelier! We love working with them! Mix in some birch troncs with and without green moss, small monstera leaves, accordeon leaves and salal leaves and the recipe is done!

Another creation that was whipped up in no time and that looks stunning.

Engagement Party Flowers for Ross and Liz

The engagement party setting By Oxide Design Montreal Florists

The engagement party setting

December 31st 2009 was a big day for Ross and Liz; their private and stunning engagement party held at Ross’s restaurant La Bella Italiana in St-Leonard.

We had the chance to bring beautiful flowers into an incredible space decorated by Liz. What better way to make our flowers glow than a stunning decor to match them! The color scheme was white, black and red. Liz rented chandeliers to which we added a huge ball of white hydrangeas, white feather boas, red gerberas and hanging black pearl necklaces. We also created a mini version of that arrangement for the head table.

What a great project that was, congratulations and all the best to the future bride and groom!

Design d’un arrangement de fleur pour Amélie Cousineau

Un Arrangement pour Amélie cousineau notre chère photographe!

Il y a quelques semaines, notre chère photographe Amélie Cousineau nous a demandé de décorer son kiosque au Salon Marions-nous, voici le résultat!

Nous avons utilisé nos fameux troncs de bouleau pour de l’impact, auxquels nous avons ajouté plusieurs orchidées phalaenopsis fushia et de grandes feuilles d’accordéon sortant d’un abat-jour au contour de plumes dans les tons de mauves.

En espérant que notre arrangement ait attiré les foules vers son talent!

Our favorite wedding of ‘09

Our favorite wedding 09

Our favorite wedding 09

Here is the big winner of ‘09, the wedding that blew our minds and that got our creative juices flowing like no other, the most extravagant yet simple and beautiful; Sabrina and Jamie’s wedding at Koko!

From blue thistles to green moby dicks, purple monk’s hood to fushia dendrobium orchids and curly willow branches to actual artichokes, the variety unusual flowers was quite shocking. It was great for us to get to brainstorm to find the perfect balance between weird and magnificent, as requested by Sabrina, what a great challenge!

Hoping 2010 will bring us tones more exciting wedding projects, we would now like to officially close 2009 by thanking all the brides that gave us the opportunity to pick our brains and create, for them, wonderful designs last year, you are the reason we are so passionate about our work! Thank you!

Notre bouquet coup de coeur 2009

Notre bouquet coup de coeur de 2009 est sans aucuns doutes le bouquet aux tons de rouge, bleu pâle et crème, et au look vintage de Manon!

Nous avons choisi d’utiliser une combinaison de dahlias rouges, d’hydrangées bleu pâle et blanc et d’orchidées cymbidiums crème. Le bouquet a eut droit à une finition de dentelle crème et de ruban rouge et bleu pâle.

Quelle réussite avec ce mélange de couleurs hétéroclites, un bon défi qui s’est terminé en grand succès!

Flower Color Schemes: Hot Pinks and Purples

hot pink colors

Feminine, yet bright and fun, these hot pinks are enough on their own to spice up any event! Whether they are mixed with other bright colors or simply used as a the main one, they will create a great impact.

Purple color scheme

Blues and purples are not very common colors in flowers compared to other schemes, although we can find them more and more these days, the choice is limited. This is why we have to use our creativity to design wonderful arrangements using these precious colors!

Mariage de rêve: la soumission

dimanche

Comme je vous ai promis hier, je vous présente aujourd’hui mes sketchs et la palette florale pour ce mariage de rêve au thème haut en couleurs!

Les fleurs choisies sont le cymbidium vert, l’hydrangée fushia, la rose orangée, le celosie rouge, le mokara jaune, la feuille de pandanus et comme accent des plumes mauves, des crystaux et du verre, beaucoup de transparence et de textures!

Les bouquets et boutonnières sont formés des fleurs nommées ci-haut. La finition de rubans orangés et fushia ainsi que de crystaux et plumes mauves permet de garder le thème constant et le souci du détail présent.

L’arrangement pour les tables à cocktails représente une superposition de deux vases séparés d’une vitre, ceux-ci remplis de crystaux et de fleurs colorées. Une petite chandelle accompagne le vase du haut.

Le centre de table est à couper le souffle! Une géante boule de fleurs et boa de plumes mauves sur un vase et chandelier avec, à l’intérieur, un collier d’orchidées et de crystaux. Le tout entouré de quatres vases carrés avec feuilles de pandanus à l’intérieur, et d’un tapis de fleurs à l’extérieur.

L’arrangement pour les tables du lounge est constitué d’un vase rond et bas, contenant au centre un vase cylindrique plus haut avec une tige d’orchidées et crystaux. Ce vase est entouré de fleurs colorées variées, tel que mentionné plus haut. Plusieures lanternes seront aussi disposées aux travers la salle pour une ambiance des plus chaleureuses.

La pièce de résistance est sans aucuns doutes la décoration de la table à marque-places. Une grande vitre sépare une multitude de vases, fleurs et crystaux. Que ce soit des hydrangées flottants ou des colliers d’orchidées, nous adorons chaques pièces de cette composition massive!

Voilà! Je me demande ce que le talentueux chef chez Traiteur Primavera aura concocté de son côté pour ce projet, ainsi qu’Amélie Cousineau pour la photographie! Souhaitez-nous bonne chance!
