We had a very rewarding Sunday at flower school the other week teaching two talented ladies the art of bridal bouquets.
Focused on Celsia’s signature style, we delved in to the details of the perfect bouquet, from colour palette and bloom selection to shape and structure.
They’re finished works of art were so beautiful we just had to share them with you.
Congratulations Aspen and Christina! It was a joy to have you join us and share your passion for flowers.
It has taken us a while to write this blog post – but oh how much we enjoyed reliving this event with each frame.
The images we’re about to share are from the Vancouver Art Gallery’s 2014 Art Auction, a biennial event that aims to raise almost $1 million in a single night in support of exhibitions and educational programs.
Having joined the VAG as their offical floral partner this year, we were thrilled to be a part of the event design for this year’s auction, based around the theme “Art Moves”.
We embraced the concept in many way through floral decor. We created movement through use of colour and design, as well as through floral installations moving along walls, down the grand staircase in the rotunda, around tables and hanging from the ceiling.
It was a four-day on-site build and install to transform various spaces within the gallery – and we loved every moment of it.
We hope you enjoy the photos and are inspired to bring some floral movement in to your next event or celebration.
Some floral arrangements we design steal a little piece of our heart.
This is one of them.
We created these florals for a special first birthday party and were fortunate enough to have them captured by the talented Sherri Koop.
From the first Instagram picture we saw when these blooms arrived at the flamingo-themed party, to these stunning professional images, we were in love.
So much so, we decided this pretty had to join our online store. We've appropriately named her Flamingo and she's available to order for Mother's Day.
Mother's Day is nearly here so we thought we'd give you some fresh inspiration for a floral gift for the Mom in your life.
We've got bouquets, arrangements and planters, and don't forget we also offer gift cards.
Or, if your Mom is a real flower lover, why not sign her up for one of our flower school classes scheduled in May or June?
You can see all of our designs and place your order at our online store.
If you order before Wednesday, May 7 we're offering a 10% discount on your flowers. All you need to do is use the code #formom2014 at checkout.
So we're a little behind in sharing this one with you but hopefully you've caught it by reading the latest edition of The Refinery Mag.
For this edition we created a boutonniere-inspired shoot called A Bout to Suit, in which we designed a series of different personal flowers that each had their own personality.
The idea being when it comes to thinking about the bout for your partner, you give a nod to their own interests or passions.
We created a bout for romantics, foodies, adventurers, nature lovers, the graphic-inspired, playful, Winter fans and the formal type.
See if you can guess which bout was for who.
You can read the full feature here.
Thanks to Sherri Koop Photography for capturing our creations.
