Making it Personal.
When I think of design, the first thought that comes to my mind is, how can I make it personalized. How can I create a piece that is personal and will speak to my client's senses and emotions. I'd like them to recognize certain features in the piece and feel that it was made just for them. It's so rewarding when my clients tell me personal stories that help me creat something that allows them to relay the stories to others. One such piece is this boutonnière I designed in honour of the grooms late mother. She was an accomplished seamstress and loved music. Also his father in-law is an avid Orchid collector.



I made this arrangement to be given in memories of Morocco. My inspirations were colours of Moroccan mosaic tile and the beautiful scents of a Moroccan courtyard in full bloom.

Signs of Spring.

Tulips are always one of the signs that spring is coming. Before the tulip plant pops out of the ground in your garden, they are in all the grocery stores as beautiful cut bouquets. A tulip may appear delicate because of it's soft stem, but they are resilient and can last weeks in an arrangement. Did you know tulip stems keep growing in water even after being cut from it's root? The stem has to be cut at the right length to keep the shape of an arrangement for the duration of it's display time. Tulips have a subtle sweet scent that blends well with many other aromatic flowers. I love the combination of tulip and freesia. <3


Another beautiful combination is tulips and peonies.

The Beauty Of A Flower.

What makes a flower beautiful and attractive?  It's all about scent and colour for me. Gardenia flowers have a soft, sweet,  yet intense scent. It has to be my favourite scent, closely followed by Freesia. I've had a Gardenia plant for years and it finally bloomed. :)

Gardenia wrist corsage, placed on a simple copper bracelate. Perfect for the mother of the bride.
