Bouquet-soleil pour les 50 ans de ma Tante

Tulipes, craspedias et pincushions jaunes

Ma chère tante fêtait ses 50 ans la semaine dernière et quoi de mieux qu’un bouquet ensoleillé pour célébrer!

Tulipes, craspedias et pincushions jaunes accompagnés d’ornithogalum orangés et d’une jupe de feuilles de xanadus ont servis à créer un bouquet festif pour l’occasion. Le fait de regrouper les fleurs serrées donne une certaine richesse au bouquet.

Espérons que ce bouquet aux couleurs éclatantes nous aidera à attirer le printemps!

Soirée Corpo pour l’agence Bleublancrouge à l’Auberge St-Gabriel

Soirée pour Bleublancrouge à la " eyes wide shut "

L’agence de publicité Bleublancrouge récompensait ses employée le 10 février dernier avec un party hyper extravagant à l’Auberge St-Gabriel. Le thème de la soirée étant le film ’’Eyes Wide Shut’’, l’ambiance était exceptionnellement étrange et sexy!

Les salles étaient divisées par couleur et thème, la première étant la ’’messe noire’’ où nous devions utliliser des fleurs blanches et créer un ambiance, je dirais, traditionnel-catholique et bizarre! Nous avons tout de suite pensé à une grosse boule d’hydrangées blancs et de boas blancs sur un grand vase ayant une branche blanche à l’intérieur.

Pour ce qui est de la seconde salle, celle des ’’sacrifices’’, l’utilisation du rouge était de mise. Gardant encore une fois un look traditionnel et étrange, nous avons simplement accroché des boulet de mini-oeillets rouges et bourgognes à l’intérieur de vases cylindriques haut et avons ajouté de l’eau rouge au fond du vase, en guise de sang!

Soirée magnifique et d’une créativité hors-pair, notre genre quoi!

Arrangement et présentation de table

l'arrangement de table pour l'anniversaire de ma mère

Samedi dernier fût une soirée très spéciale pour moi, j’ai reçu ma famille entière pour l’anniversaire de ma chère maman!

Mon décor étant dans les tons de blanc, gris, noir et d’une touche de vert, il était important pour moi de garder le concept pour chaques détails de la présentation de la table. En passant par la nappe, chemins de table, chandeliers, assiettes, serviettes de tables, marques-places et bien sur les fleurs, le look fût absolument magique! L’utilisation minimale de callas verts et d’hydrangés blancs accompagnés d’une pomme verte dans quatres vases bas carrés m’a permis de créer beaucoup de mouvement sur la table. J’aimerais remercier Bravo Location pour leur fabuleux service et générosité, c’est grâce à vous si j’ai pû accueillir confortablement 15 personnes dans mon petit chez-nous.

Bref, une soirée mémorable pour mes invités et moi-même!

Engagement Party Flowers for Ross and Liz

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!

Girly Flower Arrangements for Billie’s Women Bloggers Event

Girly bouquets for Billie Boutique Bloggers Event

On Wednesday December 2nd, I was invited to a wonderful girly cocktail party at Billie Boutique in Montreal on Laurier street.We were served champagne and cupcakes and even got professional pictures taken of our look that evening!

We were asked to design a couple of little arrangements to decorate the store and we came up with these stunning little couture pieces, so I like to call them. We made a tight ball of light pink roses a finished off the bottom with none other than a light pink cybidium skirt. It was important to add chocolate brown to the arrangements as this colour is important in their visual identity. We found these adorable chocolate brown ceramic vases on foot that we paired with ribbon bows of various pink and brown motifs.

These arrangements are so girly and look like candy, but they certainly don’t taste as good as the lovely treats we got in our gift bags from Kréavie!

Flower Arrangements for Liz’s Graduation Party at La Bella Italiana

Flower Arrangements for a Graduation Party

We create flower arrangements for so many types of events, and yesterday it was for a private graduation party at the restaurant La Bella Italiana in St-Leonard.

The idea was to design small arrangements which would be used as centerpieces. Not being a fan of pinks, Liz asked me to work with whites and a pop of color, we then decides to go with citrus tones and white. We used white hydrangeas as a base for beautiful orange and yellow tulips, in a small cylinder vase decorated with a green cordyline leaf rolled inside. Adding a couple lemons and limes beside de arrangements brought our theme together.

The result looked great against the modern, dark chocolate brown design of the restaurant, congratulations again Liz!

Flowers for a Montreal Diner Party

Flower arrangement for a Montreal Diner Party with Traiteur Primavera

For this project, we had to work with very difficult colors: red, green, white and black … Using these tints, you always need to be careful not to make it look Christmassy or tacky, the best trick is to try to seperate the colors in different vases so that when you get into the room, you’ll get the feel without the flowers needing to be mixed together.

Using out of this world green cymbidium orchids with red spots, red gingers, white dendrobium orchids and dark green monstera leaves, we were able to achieve a modern and elegant look using the requested color scheme.

I think our flowers look so good beside Traiteur Primavera’s cute orchid decorated verrines!

Flower Arrangements for Kim Vallee, Montreal Blogger

Flower Arrangement for Kim Vallee

A couple weeks ago, we told you we created floral arrangements for Kim Vallée, but never got to show you the pictures, well here they are!

I loved working with this odd combination of flowers, gourds and squashes. From green shadow hydrangeas, to golden celosias, to orange kniphophias, raspberry cordyline leaves and bittersweet orange berries, these are my favorite arrangements in a long time; for their originality and unusual color palette, they won their way to my heart.

It’s always great to get a good design challenge, keeps us motivated and inspired!

Asian Inspired Flower Arrangement for a 50th Birthday

Flower arrangement for a 50th birthday !

Last week was my boyfriend’s stepmom’s 50th birthday. Make sure not to tell a soul, she says it’s nothing to celebrate for a woman … we say it’s quite a milestone and we want to party!

After missing out on flowers for my boyfriend’s birthday (oups!) I redeemed myself by getting Lucie some beautiful red arachnids orchids and bamboos. The theme was an Asian inspired one so I also got some lanterns with red ribbons (instead of balloons) to jazz up her home and create a festive environment.

Everyone loved the result and we spent an awesome evening, happy birthday again Lucie and many more to come, I love you!

My Lovely Boyfriend’s Birthday Party!

My Boyfriend's Birthday Party

As much as it’s important for me to work hard, I also enjoy a good night with family and friends from time to time! Well I had the opportunity to do all of the above for my lovely boyfriend’s birthday party last wednesday!

Boy did I run that day, making sure evey details were perfect, turning the dining area into a lounge, the living room into a casino and the kitchen into a restaurant. We had so much fun, and the look in his eyes when he opened the door and all of his loved ones screamed surprise … priceless! What an awesome night it was, I still have chills thinking about it!

Can you believe that in the middle of all of that planning I forgot to decorate with flowers! Incredible, as we say in french : ’’Cordonnier mal chaussé!’’ Next time!
