Spring Yellows - modern waterfront home

The other day I had the privilege of having my flowers used in a gorgeous waterfront home here in Victoria. Leslee Farrell, a well known Victoria real estate agent hosted the open house for this beautiful property over looking Gonzales Bay. It had some incredible spaces inside, and views which my photography just doesn't really capture. The lovely food was done by the talented David Feyes of Feyes and Hobbs. I used bright yellow spring tulips,ranunculus and leaf lined vases to compliment the interior. As a floral designer it is super exciting for me to see my creations in a place like this!







(anemones, aranda orchids and pin cushion flowers)


(would you want anything but this fireplace right here?)












If I could, I would buy this house tomorrow!!

Red roses and aranda orchids

Not all flowers pair well with orchids. I enjoy mixing orchids with roses because I think it helps to make the rose not so traditional. And, I also think of both of them as quite luxurious. This past week, I provided flowers for a 40th wedding anniversary dinner party at Victoria's Union Club. Ruby red is the chosen color for 40th wedding anniversaries and it turned out it was very suiting to the interior also. The greenery reminds me of mini palm fronds, and why not, as summer has finally arrived here in the "garden city".
