Flowers in Vintage Tea Cups

I recently had a customer bring me a bunch of vintage tea cups. She was going to give them as gifts and wanted them filled with flowers. I have always wanted to try this as I think it would be a lovely Mother's day gift or beautiful for a bridal shower tea party.

Victoria Women of Weddings - Laurel Point Inn

The first ever event hosted by the Victoria Women of Weddings took place February 12th at the beautiful Laurel Point Inn. What a gorgeous space to host your wedding reception! A few of us wedding vendors collaborated on this first event to help make Sharon Rai's vision come true. The theme was "Hearts and Arrows" with the date being so close to Valentine's Day, and the turn out of vendors was incredible. Here are a few lovely pictures by Deanna McCollum Photography of the flowers I did for our feature table. All the beautiful decor for the event was done by Magical Moments Decorating

red roses, yellow witch hazel

 

Fall leaves - Witch-hazel

A beautiful shrub to have in your garden for fall leaves is Witch-hazel. I absolutely love the leaves at this time of year as they look as though they have been dipped in yellow and red paint.

Autumn is my least favorite time of year for flowers. Way too many orange mums and fake plastic wreaths around. I prefer to enjoy interesting grasses, berries, leaves and branches. I do love the earthiness of autumn floral designs though.

And if you do decide to plant a Witch-hazel in your garden for some fall color, a bonus is the fragrant yellow flowers in late winter and early spring.
