My Amaryllis Adventure

The progress of an Amaryllis flower blooming by Oxidesign, Montreal Florists

The progress of an Amaryllis flower blooming

A few weeks ago, I got assigned a very important task, babysit some amaryllis flowers until they were fully bloomed and ready for a photoshoot! It was so much fun to observe the evolution, each stem usually has four blooms, and gradually they all started to pop one by one.
The amaryllis is definately a flower that I love, I like how juicy and big it gets once in bloom, but be carefull, these are very delicate flowers to play with! It was important for me not to touch them too much, and mostly to cut the stem shorter as the flowers started to open, creating weight on the fragile thick but hollow stem which could simply break in front of my eyes if it decided to.
Nothing beat having to transport these flowers from my house to our workshop … ouff … I made it with the amaryllis in one piece! I couldn’t wait to finally poke the flower inside the arrangements and call in truce, at that point the amaryllis is safe and you don’t need to worry about it anymore. What a journey with my friends the amaryllis, just like babies, they kept me busy for a couple days!

Floral Design Inspired by a Romantic Dinner in Milan

Flower Arrangement for Romantic Dinner that Says: Passion

Flower Arrangement that Says: Passion - Photos by Montreal Photographer Amélie Cousineau

The feel for these designs was inspired by our idea of a very romantic & intimate dinner for two, in … Milan perhaps!

We wanted to use the ornate look to the extreme to achieve this mixture of modern and romance, all in red and black, using Roses, Hydrangeas and Amaryllis in different shades of reds. The feathered lampshade with a suspended flower ball on top of the clear vase creates tones of drama, as for the smaller arrangements they simply bring a pop of color to the black plates.

We suspended a flower ball made of red Amaryllis flowers and pieces of reddish Hydrangeas, we then attached black ornaments to the bottom to jazz up the look of a simple flower ball and give it a more modern and finished feel.

We submerged the feet of three chrome chandeliers in a sea or red roses and reddish amaryllis inside a low cylinder shaped clear vase.

This screams passion!
