Wedding at the Don

I was so excited to see this wedding all come together this weekend. We used so many bright colors that made everything so bright! This wedding was held at the Don Cesar in St. Petersburg. The bride looked so gorgeous when we came to deliver the flowers. I got to peek in the side room where her dress was hanging up so I had to share! Enjoy!

During the week we had a small floral show where various floral companies around Tampa had to create a design for each part of the Ringling Museum of Art. This was the section assigned for Botanica and this is what Ian designed for the area. Ian decided it was time for me to go out on my first solo setup and delivery so this was a good one for me to start out with. I was so nervous, but everything turned out great and we ended up having some great reviews for our designed section!

One of the head designers here at Botanica also had to interpret a painting this week with flowers. The picture was a man dressed all in black with one sleeve that had a red lining. After looking more closely Larry noticed that there was a waterfall in the background where the man was reflected. He chose to use this as his inspiration and used just a small section of the waterfall where he showed the red lining in the man's jacket. I thought this was a very interesting interpretation of the paining! I don't think I would have thought of doing it this way.

 Ian also had me make a couple of these crowns for another Gasparilla party we had during the week. The roses opened up perfectly for this event so they looked great!

Party In An Airport Hangar

We had an amazing event this weekend in Boca. The event was being held by Mr. Busch, a.k.a Mr. Busch Gardens. The event was held in a private airport hangar. All of the trees and palms that you see in the first picture were all brought in just for the event! After moving all these plants in it was our job to make the finishing touches with the flowers. My favorite part!

The tall vases on the table were a bit fun to get onto the tables. I think each vase weighed about 30 pounds each. Both of our guys Larry and Eric had to lift them up and over all the glassware on the table and set them right in the center. I think both of them got their workout in for the day after that! The tall vases made all the difference in the hangar. They really filled up the upper space and created more depth with the trees and low arrangements on the other tables. 

We also had another event that our other crew (Tiffany, and Janet) set up this weekend too. This wedding was held at the Dali Museum. I was able to help build the smaller arrangements that you can see on the right. We used antique hydrangea, roses, stock, and some foliage to create these arrangements. 

We also had a small event during the week at the Tampa Bay Yacht Club. I loved, loved, loved, the linens at this event! All the colors in the arrangement just popped when we put them on the tables.
