Flowers for Kim Vallée

Flowers for Kim Vallée

Flowers for Kim Vallée

We were so happy when we saw the pictures of the flowers we created for Kim Vallée’s birthday party on Nathalie Rivard’s Blog, so exciting!

Simple green anthurium flowers and green cordyline leaves in tall cylinder vases and stunning tall apple blossom branches and green hanging amaranthus in lower vases created a wonderfull balance and gave it an asian feel which reminded Kim of her recent trip to Japan’s cherry blossom festival.
It’s always great to hear nice things about our work, thank you again Nathalie!

Arrangements de fleurs pour Altitude Concepts

Arrangement de fleur pour Altitude Concepts par Oxide, Fleuristes, Montréal

Nous avons travaillé sur un projet très intéressant avec la boîte Altitude Concepts la semaine dernière, un projet express avec un résultat génial!

Avec à peine une semaine pour créer un design, commander les fleurs disponibles et passer à l’attaque des arrangements, ce projet nous a gardé occupé toute la semaine. Quel beau défi que de créer avec des contraintes dans un temps limite, très stimulant!

Ces fameuses contraintes étant les suivantes: 20 arrangements cocktail pour une soirée autour de la piscine intérieure du Hyatt au centre-ville de Montréal qui devaient ensuite être transformés en 40 petits centres de table pour le lendemain matin.

Nous avons donc choisi de faire flotter des fleurs, ce qui nous donnait plus de flexibilité pour la transformation des arrangements le lendemain. De gros vases cylindriques bas furent utilisés pour la soirée, contenant des têtes de pincushion orangées et de chrysanthèmes verts ainsi qu’une feuille de cordyline verte enroulée à l’intérieur du vase.

Nous vous présenterons demain le fameux ’’make-over’’!

Parrot Tulips

Here are a few pictures of a simple and pretty arrangement I made for a friend who wanted to liven up her home!
The combination of white and green parrot tulips with the light blue hydrangea and the green cordyline leaves really gives out a soft and wintery look. Another proof that simple can be beautiful!
She also offered one to her mom because everybody loves flowers around the house!

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

Flower Arrangements for a Graduation Party by Montreal Florists Oxidesign

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!

What Pandanus and Cordyline Leaves Look Like in Nature

Pandanus and cordyline leaves

Pandanus and Cordyline leaves in Nature

While on vacation, I was so happy to see some very familiar faces, and no I am not talking about people, but about our good friends the pandanus and the cordyline leaves at their natural state!

Every year I am amazed to see these leaves we work with so often come to life in an actual plant on a beautiful sunny day by the beach. Before actually seeing one with my own eyes, I never would’ve thought a pandanus leaf came from such a big tree, so crazy! I took these pictures with the thought of showing you guys the origin of some of the products we use, I just think it is so incredible for these leaves to come from the plant they are attached to, to being folded in a thousand different ways in our arrangements.

Well I hope you enjoyed another little souvenir from my vacation, I am getting nostalgic thinking about those plants … got to wait until next year to see more!

A Bridal Bouquet for a Surprise-Wedding!

flower bouquets with roses, tulips and skimmia by o.xidesign florists Montreal

Bridal Bouquet for my Boyfriend's Mother

My boyfriend’s mother and stepfather went on a romantic trip to Spain and Portugal a couple weeks ago, how romantic you ask? Well romantic enough for them to sneak all the way to Gibraltar and, to everyone’s surprise, come back married!

I was so flattered when she told me that she couldn’t find a flower shop, had to buy flowers from the grocery store and finally opened her laptop to follow our blog for find tips and tricks on how to make her own bridal bouquet! So funny! Chris and I went to pick them up from the airport and we just had to give her the stunning bridal bouquet she deserved, using circus roses, fushia tulips, burgundy skimmia and green cordyline.

We are so happy for Marie-Andrée and Mike and still can’t believe the stunt they pulled on us, crazy kids! We wish them love and happiness for years to come!

Flower Arrangement for Infopresse’s Gala Flèches

Arrangement using flowers and feathers

When we found out there was a chance for us to create flower arrangements for Infopresse’s Gala Flèches at the Belvedere Hall in Montreal’s Science Centre, we were so excited!

Working side by side again with Traiteur Primavera, the food and flowers simply looked amazing once again. We went with a minimalist look of vases with green Cordyline leaves inside, a white Hydrangea, white and green parrot Tulips and a couple of black feathers to bring some elegance to this special event. We also incorporated floating white candles on small vases.

Gen and I were both there to prepare the flowers and we had a blast together, it’s so rare we get to work on a project the two of us!
