Devitt Design - Michelle and Craig's Wedding

I am very excited to be sharing this post this evening. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid in my wonderful high school friend's wedding this summer. It was a long week in the breathtaking Lake Chelan, WA and the wedding was held at Karma Vineyards. Not only was I able to stand along side my friend while she married the man of her dreams, I was able to create all the flowers for the special occasion. I've dabble in floral design before but this was my first attempt at wedding flowers. I'm pretty proud at how they all turned it. They were so cheerful and fun...just like the bride and groom. So take a look at some photos captured by Stephen Probert Photography. And if you want more, then there's plenty more to check out here. I hope you enjoy all the flowers too. Happy Sunday.

Floral Crowns

After a couple hours, I succeed in making two floral crowns! It was my first attempt at creating these lovely head adornments so I'm pretty proud at how they turned out.  It involved a lot of wiring and taping and was far from being a quick task. But they're so beautiful that it was worth the time and pain. If only they'd last a little long. After a day, the flowers were goners without water. Hope you've been enjoying your weekend as well.

Floral Design

This past weekend I took a floral design workshop through Montana School of Floral Design. It was a lot of fun. We learned some basic principles and techniques. We made a total of five arrangements that are gracing my home. I love all the fresh flowers! My favorite arrangement we did was our very last one and we created whatever we wanted with the flowers provided. The photos below are my arrangement. I'm really pleased how it turned out. It lush and colorful and makes me smile! I cannot get enough of floral design so I'm heading back this weekend for the wedding flowers workshop. Wish me luck.

Floral Recipe

Yesterday, I ran to the grocery store and picked up some lovely flowers and greenery. I love designing floral arrangements so I thought with Valentine's Day tomorrow, no better time than now. I am trying to learn all the names and of flowers so I did some research. I think I've figured out what I picked up at the grocery store so check out the recipe below. Please let me know if I'm off on any of the flowers names. I'm happy how it turned out. A modern take on V-Day flowers.

May Day

I can't believe it's already May. That just seems crazy. In celebration of May Day, here are some pretty flowers. Did you ever leave a bunch of flowers on someone's doorstep on May Day? I loved doing that. I wasn't able to do it today but there are some tulips in a vase in the kitchen to hold me over. Have an excellent May.

I want to make beautiful floral arrangements on a daily basis. There's so much beauty and so much to learn. I did make a festive, spring bouquet over the weekend for my friends. I'm silly and forgot to take any pictures though. I picked up some pointers from my arrangement and need remember to simplify. Pretty sure I could simplify a lot of things in life. How was your weekend?
Were you able to enjoy the lovely spring weather?

Florist

I've really in love with floral design. I'm really interested in taking classes, learning from talented florist and just experimenting with beautiful flowers. I love the organic, free-flowing bouquets with texture, color, and height. Oh, I really want to go to the flower market now.

I got nominated to bring a few floral arrangements to a Stella & Dot event next week. I am happily accepted the offer and headed straight to Pinterest for some inspiration. Pinterest is my newest addiction and entertainment! But look at all the beautiful floral designs I found!

I really enjoy a loose, vibrant, wildflower look. I'm putting the flowers in an assortment of vases. It is going to look great against the beautiful jewelry. Jewelry and flowers together....now I just need some wine, chocolate and my boyfriend and that will be the most magical combination.

Do you have any guidance on floral arrangement for me?
