Sunny Flower Arrangement

Bright Yellow Flower Arrangement

Mai 1st was a very special day for a new client of ours who decided to throw her son and herself a birthday party at l’Auberge Saint-Gabriel in the Montreal Old Port.

Her request was simple; yellow, springy and fresh flowers, which is exactly what we did. Yellow mini-cymbidium orchids, yellow gerberas, green santinis, salal leaves and lemons in a base wrapped in green cordyline leaves, an explosion of sunshine!

Creating for Mrs Leibl was truly a pleasure and we sure hope to get the chance to repeat the experience for another bright and sunny occasion!

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!

Corporate Cocktail Flower Design for Desjardins Cité du Nord

An Explosion of Green Shades

It was an honor for us to create floral arrangements for Desjardins Caisse Cité-du-Nord de Montréal’s annual cocktail for the second year in a row, it is so much fun to play with the color green! For those of you who read us, but are not located in Montréal, the logo is of Desjardins is green, and this is where we got our inspiration last year.

It was important for us to create fun, modern, simple but original arrangements using the color green to suit their image. From green apples to artichokes, green Cymbidium Orchids to Calla Lilies and big accordeon leaves, it was an explosion of different shades of green.

We would like to give a big thank you to Lucie Laranjo, and are looking forward to hopefuly creating yet another green concept for this great yearly event!

Montreal Baby Shower Flowers for Corrine

Corrine's Baby Shower Flowers in Montreal

Corrine est une des mes amies, et vous pouvez comprendre la joie que j’ai eu quand j’ai su qu’elle attendait un petit bébé pour Octobre 2009. Nous avons célébré cette bonne nouvelle le Dimanche 5 juillet 2009 en lui organisant un baby shower. Je me suis occupée des fleurs.

Corrine et Samuel attendent un petit garçon, et sont de nature joyeuse, pleine d’énergie.

J’ai essayé de représenter tout cela en créant des arrangements colorés, joyeux, mais avec du style. A leur image.

La petite touche de bleu par le biais des rubans de satin est pour nous rappeler qu’ils attendent un garçon, sans nécessairement tomber dans les clichés bleu/blanc – bleu /beige etc…

Je me suis servie de lys oranges, d’allium mauves, de tournesols et de feuilles d’anthurium, le tout pour créer l’ambiance que je pense espérait Corinne à son shower de bébé.

Je vous ferai sûrement part de la naissance du bébé sur notre page facebook en Octobre.

Bonne chance Corinne!

Line Atallah’s 30th Birthday Flowers

Line Atallah's 30st birthday flower arrangements

Since Line Atallah, our wonderful marketing director from TELEGRAPHE Agency, was 10 years old she dreamt of being 30. Funny? But true!

And the big day happened last weekend!

No need to say that she ate, drank and danced like she always dreamt it! She was surrounded by all the people that, in a way or another, made her life a richer, prettier and more exciting one! Being a flower lover, she called me in a rush to say: “Steph, I need to be surrounded by flowers on my birthday! I trust you, please design something for me!”

Her house being a kind of mixture between vintage, classic, and contemporary, we decided to use rich golden, mustardy tones with chocolate browns to create a very warm effect using sunflowers, orange mokara orchids, craspedia balls, dried local bamboo and river rock.

Using clear vases with a touch of brown and turquoise ribbons helped keep the modern look to a choice of flowers that is more rustic.

When she received our colour proposal, she loved it. And went crazy matching everything to the colours scheme. I am pleased that she was so happy.

Happy Birthday again Line, we wish you all the best!

A Chic English Garden Style Baby Shower

Chic English Garden Style Baby Shower Flower Arrangements

A beautiful afternoon in a backyard surrounded by gorgeous flowers, friends and family, what better way to celebrate the upcoming birth of your little bundle of joy!

Working with an event planner is always a great way for us to assure our flowers will be showcased at their best, and for this project the proud mamma to be was actually a wedding planner, which was a charm! From the tableclothes, to the napkins, to the favors, everything was perfect to display our light green and purple arrangements. I personally found them stunning! What do you think? We used a mix of green hydrangeas, green cymbidium orchids, green roses, green sedum, purple artichokes and purple decorative cabbages to give a chic English garden look to the tables.

Can somebody please say ’’Cabbage Patch Kids’’ … Yes, that is absolutely the first thing that comes to my mind when I look at these pictures, what a great way to bring a child into the world; by remembering your own fabulous childhood memories!
