Off to the Mart

I will be heading to the LA Flower Mart this week for the next Gallo Event. I haven't been there in about a year, so I am looking forward to going. However, I am not looking forward to sitting in traffic, looking for parking and then searching madly for the flowers I need. Although, I guess I need to get over that and get used to the idea of actually going there more often. I know that there are much better prices there and I am sure that once you are more familiar with where everything is it is a much more pleasant experience.

I've only been to the LA Flower Mart two times...the first time was very overwhelming! I didn't know where to begin and where to end. I also feel as though you never really "know" if you're getting a good deal unless you go around asking all the prices and then come back through and buy. Most of the time, I don't think people really have that kind of time. Fortunately, now that I do not have a full-time job, I have all the time in the world! So, I will enjoy taking the time to familiarize myself and search for the "deals".

Happy hunting to me during my floral search. Fortunately, I have a great palette for inspiration. The next Gallo Event that is at the Hollywood Bowl is a night that Beatles music will be played. So, we decided to use the "Love" album artwork as the inspiration. All the reds, yellows and oranges will be easy to find in an array of textures and sizes!
