Been A While!

So, it's actually been a while since my last blog. The reason being...I've been busy! I am newly engaged, and have recently moved as well as started a new full-time job. In between all of that, I was given the opportunity to provide floral design for a wedding as well as floral design and decor for a baby shower. On top of all that, I haven't had internet at the new house, which naturally puts a damper on my posting abilities.

The wedding that I did flowers for...well let's just say I learned a lot! The quality of the flowers did not end up being up to my standard of excellence. I'm still not sure if I had gotten the flowers too early, if I just didn't keep them in a cool enough place or if I just used the wrong kind of greenery. The flowers were not "horrible" and came out beautifully in pictures, however I was pretty disappointed in myself that the quality did not last the way it was supposed to. So, now I need to research a little more or maybe take some other classes to really pin point this issue to prevent it from happening again.

The baby shower on the other hand turned out pretty well! I created some of those tissue pom poms (navy blue and lime green) and hung them from the ceiling (Pictures to come...) and then used jade green roses, curly willow, lime green pom poms, white gerbs and white wax flower in several different types of arrangements (again...pictures to come soon).

Anyways, pictures to come soon!
