Flower and Green Apple Arrangements

We love working with green apples, they give so much volume and texture to any arrangements at a reasonable price. If they work with the color palette and style of a project, there are good chances you’ll find them there. As a matter of fact, we love incorporating any fruits or even veggies in our arrangements!

There are so many options as to how we play with these apples. Whether they fill a vase, directly work side by side with flowers in an arrangement or are piled up beside a centerpiece, we always find a way to be creative! Enjoy our fruity pictures of the use of green apples in ‘09.

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!

DIY: Fun and Modern Apple Arrangements

Making a impact doesn’t have to be complicated, sometimes it only takes a good idea, a few bucks and a couple minutes of your time.

Here is a simple and cheap way to decorate a vase, fill it with your favorite colored fruits or even veggies, mix and match to your taste and decor, fill with water and admire your work! You’ll notice that by adding the water you will get a much more interesting effect, your fruits and veggies will look like they grew in front of your eyes. For a fun effect you could also bunch up a piece of cellophane clear paper and throw it in the bottom of the vase before you add your fruits and veggies, looks like ice!

Apples are fun to use in floral  arrangements, take a look here at some designs we’ve created using apples.

If you try this idea don’t hesitate to share pictures with us, you can post them on our facebook wall

Montreal Corporate Event Flower Design for BRP, a Bombardier Division

Un arrangement tres orange pour Bombardier

Corporate event flower arrangements for Bombardier

When BRP (a division of Bombardier) contacted us to hire our services for their “President’s Soirée” at the Montreal Science Center, Gen and I were extatic! We love designing flowers for events that take place at this venue, we love designing flowers for corporate events,  and last but not least, we especially loved the theme of this one: Innovation.

Obviously, with such a theme,  the arrangements had to reflect an innovative feel, bub also a masculine one. We chose to work with oranges and greens to keep a very fresh modern and crisp look using green Cymbidium Orchids, Pandanus leaves, Oranges, Grapefruits and simple round ceramic white pots. The contrast between the roundness of the pot and the square base of the arrangement created an interesting dynamism.

I am in love with this arrangement, what do you think?

Photoshoot: Dreaming of a Brunch in Maui

Orchids and Oranges

These are studio pictures, something Gen and I do for fun with the help of our wonderful photographer Amélie Cousineau when we have an uncontrolable burst of creative juices flowing!

Imaginary Brunch at Maui!

Imaginary Brunch at Maui!

For these pictures, we imagined a colorful and fresh summer brunch on our imaginary ultramodern terrasse with an ocean view in Maui! Crazy you might think, but hey … everyone has a right to dream! Close your eyes and let your imagination go wild, everyone is invited to our festive brunch!

The mix of clear glass vases and crisp white containers give tones of dimension to the base of our arrangements, the use of different levels also gives movement and diversity. We love, if you haven’t noticed yet, to mix fruits with our flowers, in this case we used gorgeous pink grapefruits mixed with green cymbidium orchids, orange anemonies, and grassy looking greeneries.

Would you care for a nice crystal champagne flute filled with sparkly mimosa? Enjoy the party!
