Ann Arbor, Michigan wedding and event flowers Red Poppy Floral Design florist
Still enjoying these spring blooms that we designed in a Bloom Florist Collective floral design class a week ago! I really need the reminder of spring as it's pouring down snow outside my window - boo! For this class, we used a cheerful and elegant mix of peach juliet garden roses, burgundy snapdragons, yellow tulips, daffodils, and freesia, solidago and pieris japonica. We have more classes scheduled so you can get your spring on! www.bloomclass.com
So proud that our Cottonwood Barn Styled Shoot has been featured in Be Minked! If you haven't seen it yet, check out Be Minked - it's a beautiful website with luxe wedding ideas and featuring love and creativity, edited by a creative husband and wife photography team. Very cool, and so honored to be featured!
I am so excited to post about my trip to Santa Barbara, California in January to join the Chapel Designers/Florabundance Design Days. I am so honored to be a part of the Chapel Designers - a group of like-minded, dedicated, independent floral designers who come together to share skills, knowledge, and ideas about the wedding flower industry, and to support each other. This is an amazingly talented (and fun!) professional group, and I was so honored to join in January.
We had an amazing time at Sunstone Winery, designing with Chapel Designers founder Holly Chapple, Nancy Liu Chin, Joseph Massie, and Francoise Weeks. Here's just a few images of two of the individual projects I made - a bouquet filled with textures, berries and branches and a fancy hair piece. More images to come soon of the fabulous group projects we made when those are available! A huge thanks you to Diana Marie Photography for these beautiful images and for capturing the whole workshop so beautifully!
Happy New Year! I love the festive holiday season, for lots of reasons!, and I always look forward to going to the floral wholesaler with all kinds of foliages and textures and blooms that we don;t see the rest of the year. Silver and gold gilded branches - check! Wonderfully fragrant juniper with festive blue berries - check! There's a lot of sniffing and touching and it's very much a kind in the candy store type experience.
I'm so grateful to the warm and talented Melanie Reyes of Melanie Reyes Photography for entrusting me to create two arrangements as gifts, and also for photographing them for me so I can share these gorgeous images. This is such a gift for me - thank you Melanie!
These arrangements featured gorgeous protea in several sizes and colors, cymbidium orchids, blue eryngium, lotus pods, burgundy peonies, hypericum berries, snowberry foliage
Just a little holiday thank you arrangement featuring protea, cymbidium orchid, snapdragons, leucadendron, hypericum berries and festive foliages in a whitewashed wood box. I hope this makes someone's day!
This delivery was awesome! These centerpieces were for a corporate dinner in the boxes above Michigan Stadium, in the Jack Roth Stadium Club. It was a fantastic view - what an amazing space! I can see how this would be a fun and memorable, and at the same time very elegant spot for a special party or wedding reception. Let alone how neat it would be to see a game from up there! For this corporate event, I used the businesses' colors of silver and white, and we wanted to keep the flowers from being too feminine. The rectangular vase is a painted silver ceramic, and the arrangement includes white hydrangea, green succulents, blue eryngium, and green geranium foliage arranged neatly for a professional feel. Thank you to Katherine's Catering for including me in this event - it was beautiful, delicious, and well-organized, as always!
This made my kitchen smell fantastic! Margarita, anyone? Loved this modern vase with cut limes topped with soft white hydrangea and roses - a perfect accent at the bar in the gorgeous "Bubble Room" at Vinology for a rehearsal dinner.
Summer blooms! This summer bouquet of peach mathiola, ivory spray roses, white ranunculus, chamomile daisies and yellow solidago just makes me feel so summery!
It was such a pleasure to contribute the flowers for a retirement party by Katherine's Catering (their espresso sea salt brownies are INCREDIBLE!). I love this gold footed vase filled with magenta dahlias, purple clematis, kangaroo paw, trick dianthus... Congratulations and happy retirement!
These shiny sleek vases and shiny red anthurium feel like a car! Or at least I thought so... Loved doing these arrangements a Porsche launch, can't wait for the pro photos and just wanted to share my quick preview.
It was such a pleasure working with Luna Soiree on this event, and to highlight the Porsche colors, we used these awesome shiny black and silver vases, filled with yellow pincushion proteas, oncidium orchids, and tulips, together with shiny red anthurium and red mokara orchids.
