Lt Yellow vs yellow

The picture above has a VERY light yellow rose on the left with a canary/yellow rose on the left.

The picture on the right side has all of the VERY light roses only in the shot.

This is a solid yellow heart bouquet (10" X 10") a good size for a flower girl.

It's Orange, Pink, Blue and Ivory

Okay, I must admit, I thought this one would be impossible. Orange, pink and blue together? No way, it's just too crazy, right? Then I thought about all the great bright summer colors that are used together....yeah, it could work.

And I think it does. So, I hope my bride likes it too! I'll let you know what she thinks! It just goes to show you that just when you think some colors can't work together, they probably can. ;)

Another shade of heart

This was requested by a bride for a flower girl. It's similar to the red heart shaped and lavender heart shaped. I find that when I'm able to showcase the same style in different colors, it helps the client to visualize what a bouquet might look like.

Here is a change of color from the red rose heart shaped bouquet (which happens to be a continued high interest on ebay even after Valentine's Day....when I was afraid the interest would fade).

This is a mixed lavender and ivory heart shaped bouquet designed for a flower girl (like my little model who is pictured). The size is 10" by 10", and is in a white bouquet holder. Also included is a touch of ivory baby's breath to soften the space in between the roses.

Happy Holidays! Welcome 2009!

This year will be a busy one for me come August with the addition to our family.

I'm focusing on selling the heart shaped bouquet on ebay right now. I think with Valentine's Day next month, it could be a big hit.

In the meantime, I'm planning what I'll be making once I get my energy back! :) I'll be working on spring/summer bouquets in pinks & greens, lavenders, and researching what the other popular colors are out there!

So, keep checking back occasionally for new pictures of new creations!

The Heart Shaped Bouquet

Here's the latest (along with a Christmas/winter red rose bouquet). I had made a fresh red rose bouquet that was heart shaped years ago in the flower shop, and it popped into my mind again.

I'm testing it out on ebay right now to see if there's interest. It looks easier than it actually is to make! :) I'm going to shoot a few more pictures of it too, because I don't think it quite does the bouquet justice.

I am also a big fan of the Christmas/winter bouquet with red roses, frosted evergreens (boy, are those hard to find!), and gold berries. I thought of making a variation with white twigs and the frosted evergreens, so that may show up also on ebay this next week.
