Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

This week I had two weddings. Both of them taking place on a Friday and both brides had the name "Michelle"! Their choice of flowers and colours were different.

What I'm Up To Lately

Over the last couple of days, I've been working on wedding flower quotes.

I've been asked to do 3 weddings, all in August!

After doing my daughter's wedding in April, I've realized how much I enjoy putting together different flowers and choosing the colours that compliment each other 

and then putting it all together.

There are many aspects of this job that involve different skills, not all of them equal in enjoyment. One of my favourite things is meeting with the bride and trying to capture her ideas. Other aspects are figuring out what flowers are in season,  the amount of flowers per bouquet, the type and colours to go with the colour scheme and pricing it all.

(pricing is the part that isn't as enjoyable to me) 

Below are the colour schemes of  the weddings I am working on.

All Over the Place

Well, my initial idea of doing 3 days a week of set themes hasn't been working very well. My life right now isn't really structured. I'm still trying to figure things out.

The WingDing was disappointing. It was forecasted that there would be about 1 mm of rain. Well not so! It poured for 2 hrs. Needless to say I did sell some things including my blue trunk to a previous customer who also awhile back bought another cool wooden box that she is using for a wood box.

Both trunks have sold now. The blue one at the WingDing.

The same customer who bought the blue trunk had purchaed this wooden box last year.

Sold this cute owl.

Two of my favourite flowers. Lily of the Valley and Lilacs.

Pretty blue vases.

A great blue hinge top jar.

Summery strawberry tin.
