Working with one of the best wedding blogs Style me pretty!

What an honor it was to work with the best of the best on this Style me pretty photoshoot!

When our dear friend Azar from Principal Planner approached us to create the floral designs for this awesome photoshoot, we screamed YES! It is not every day you get the opportunity to be featured on one of the best wedding blogs out there … what an achievement for us, we are so proud.

The whole process started with an inspiration board we had to portray in our designs, the colors being white, black and light blue with a vintage flare. After hours of brainstorming and shopping with Azar, ”From Paris With Love” came to life! We used white and blue hydrangeas, stunning white roses, white dahlias, white peonies, black callas and white astilbe. Along with Azar’s breathtaking design of the room, the result is amazing and Davina + Daniel were there to capture all this greatness!

Thank you again Azar for choosing us amongst all the sensational vendors you picked, working with you is always crazy fun!

Flowers for HEC Montreal

Flowers for HEC Montreal

We made these cute little arrangements for a cocktail party at HEC Montreal a couple weeks ago.
We love how colorful and juicy they look with the mini-green hydrangeas, orange gerberas and little yellow craspedia balls. A great way to give a pop of color without going overboard.
Perfect for this beautiful sunny day!

Arrangement de fleurs pour mon brunch de la fête des mères

Fleurs pour mon brunch de la fête des mères

Alors comme je vous disais dans mon dernier post, lorsque je crée un design pour ma famille ou moi même, rien n’est coulé dans le béton jusqu’à la dernière seconde, en voici la preuve!

Mon concept original consistant de d’orchidées cymbidiums et de lilas s’est vu accueillir de splendides hydrangés fushias! Comment résister lorsque je les ai vu chez Fleurexpert samedi? Impossible!

Disons que je me suis gâtée en combinant ces petits trésors, et tout le monde les a apprécié!

Flower Sketches: A Very Green Week!

sketches for our two new clients!

This week has been very green at O.xide Design as we created 2 different quotes for 2 corporate events which required green flowers and leaves mainly!

The first one, for a fashion show, is using our famous birch troncs with big accordeon leaves and white hydrangeas. The look had to be very modern, simple, yet showy.

The second one had an actual environment theme, so green, green and green was the only way to go! We used green anthuriums, green dendrobium orchids, green hydrangeas as well as big monstera and accordion leaves.

Let’s hope this green can brighten up this sad rainy and swowy week we are having!

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!

Weekly December flowers for Goodman Private Wealth Management

Tulips Flower Arrangement

We got approached by Goodman Private Wealth Management to decorate their reception area with our flowers for the month of December!

Their decor being very crisp and modern, and their logo having a bit of orange, we chose as a color palet to work with whites, greens, a touch of orange and earth tones. We worked with white hydrangeas, orange tulips, green santinis, cedar, birch troncs and chocolate brown Christmas balls giving it a subtle Holiday feel.

Stay tuned for next weeks arrangement!

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!

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!

Floral Design Inspired by a Romantic Dinner in Milan

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!
