Something borrowed…
Utilizing your rental pieces in a unique way to create a beautiful display is a key to success. Reinventing these amazing cake stands into a design will enhance any dessert table.
Something old….
The structure was constructed using a plastic 6” flowerpot separating the two tiers of the cake stands. I then wrapped poultry wire around the pot and a cluster of it on the top tier. Make sure to fold in your end pieces so it does not damage the mirror. The wire is used to hold the floral in place for the design.
Something new….
Such a beautiful assortment of garden blooms:
Green Trick
Hydrangea
Stock
Wax Flower
Monte Casino
Astrantia
Something blue….
The design started with blue hydrangea and green trick as the base floral. These blooms would cover the gap between the levels and poultry wire. Water tubes were utilized to keep the hydrangea fresh.
Placing the blooms….
I placed the remaining blooms into the design. The poultry wire, hydrangea and green trick held the stems in place. Utilize water tubes on your more delicate blooms.
Finish the look….
To finish the display, place the wedding cake upon an additional cake stand. The design will be complete by adding coordinating blooms for the cake décor. A perfect display any couple would love to have on their wedding day.
Old, New, Borrowed & Blue
Such a beautiful way to celebrate love while utilizing what you have in stock!
Pretty In Pink Winter Design
After creating the pink inspired bouquet, I thought why not design something inspired by the bouquet for the holidays! I was inspired by the color pink and winter ice for this holiday design.
Pink + Winter + Holidays = Fabulosity
After creating the pink inspired bouquet, I thought why not design something inspired by the bouquet for the holidays! I was inspired by the color pink and winter ice for this holiday design.
The cast for this show…
Some of the stars for this design are:
white painted branches
pink feather boa
bleached peacock feathers
ornaments
ruscus & silver dollar eucalyptus
Color me pretty….
I created a gypsophila garland and color enhanced it with Design Master Perfect Pink. So delicate yet so impactful.
Let the assembly begin….
First, I added chicken wire to the vessel to hold stems in place. I created a duo cascade down the side of the vessel by layering the pink feather boa on top of the gypsophila garland. Next, I inserted the peacock feathers off to the side for drama and white branches in the center of the design for height.
Color and movement….
I choose seeded eucalyptus and frosted ruscus because it had the perfect color and movement. The eucalyptus flowed beautifully over the vessel. The combination of the two foliages worked perfectly with our pink winter theme.
Flower power….
I utilized pink lisianthus, ivory roses, pink astrantia, pink scabiosa and white statice for this design. The shades of pink and white completely worked with the theme. Soft and delicate yet extremely impactful. Inserting the pink lisianthus down through the gypsophila garland increased the visual movement of the design.
Accented with frost….
I brought the holidays feel into this design by adding iridescent and crystalized ornaments to the design. The textures and colors are perfect for our theme. The perfect finishing touches!
Pretty in pink….
The perfect Pretty in Pink design for the holidays. This would be a favorite of anyone who loves a unique and nontraditional winter holiday arrangement. The feeling of the season is unique for everyone!
Happy Holidays and warm wishes for the New Year!

Creating an inspired statement bridal bouquet is key to your client’s happiness on their perfect day. The completed design should be inspired by your client and designed as a one-of-a-kind piece of floral art that they are happy to carry down the aisle.
Pretty in Pink…
When a bride asks for a “Pretty in Pink” feminine bouquet the answer is always yes. Yes, I will design the most beautiful bouquet that represents your style and vision for your wedding day.
Picking fabulous blooms….
First step is picking the perfect blooms for the bouquet. I chose to utilize roses, veronica, lisianthus, scabiosa and gypsophila. Utilizing shades of white and pink were key to bringing this bouquet to life.
Enhancing the natural beauty….
I started by color enhancing the gypsophila with Design Master colortool spray. The color chosen was Perfect Pink for this bouquet. When painting the floral, I focused on highlighting the floral without saturating the entire stem. I wanted some of the white to remain to highlight the pink.
Movement and structure….
Utilizing a pink feather boa was key to adding femininity and movement to the bouquet. As the bride walks down the aisle the feathers will dance in the breeze. Using a mechanic such as the Syndicate Sales Pillow will provide structure for the bouquet.
Power of the collar….
I started by gathering the gypsophila around the pillow to create a collar. The pillow will keep the gypsophila in place around the focal floral while providing a space to insert the floral product.
Placing the blooms….
Floral placement is key to completing the perfect bouquet. The roses and lisianthus were designed tight within the bouquet to create the base. I then placed the scabiosa a bit higher and finished with the veronica coming out of the floral to add depth to the finished bouquet.
Time to walk down the aisle….
I finished this bouquet by adding the pink boa around the back of the gypsophlia collar. The perfect “Pretty in Pink” bouquet.
