Pastel Orange with Off White Flowers

Soft pastel floral arrangement for a coffee table in the living room with solid timber wood furnitures. What would you recommend? :)

After browsing and scrutinizing all flowers available, I've come up with this sweet and lovely arrangement. I picked a soft shade of orange roses, cream garden roses, light yellow ranunculus and off white alstroemeria with fresh green fern-like foliage. The vase was ceramic white with twig-like design which I find somewhat refreshing!

Hope you like it as much as I do :)

Hydrangea, Roses and Freesia in Pastels

Personally.. I love pastels! But bold colours are beautiful too.. All the colours in the world are beautiful in their own way, right.. :)

I had the pleasure of making this special pastel floral arrangement for a display on top of a mantel. I chose the softest pastel shades I could find in the most beautiful flowers available. Cream faux tea rose, lilac hydrangeas, cream freesia, purple forget-me-not, fresh green trailing ivy and foliage. I also search and found a matching purple hydrangea container to put these gorgeous flowers in. And the result is as follows..

* I adore these lovely cream tea roses- they look so much like the real thing!

Orange, Red, Blue and Black

This was a special floral arrangements as it consist of quite an unusual colour combination :P
My special client cum family friend requested an Orange, Red, Blue and Black colour floral arrangements as a gift to her good friend.

The glass vase was from Laura Ashley collection and a tall arrangement was in order. The flowers are exquisite life-like faux flowers. I selected orange crysanthemum, blue hydrangeas, red peonies and berries and black currants with lots of green. More of a summer-like bloom and berries display, right? :)

English Country Rose

One of my favorite project is this one! I was asked to arrange a flower centerpiece for this classic looking urn to put on a coffee table. The client requested pastel colored flowers with a touch of elegance. After going to the heart of the city browsing and looking for the flowers, I finally manage to find what I was looking for. I wish I can have them for my home :)

* The flowers were SIA flowers, aren't they gorgeous
and almost look like the real thing!

Velvety Red Roses Get Well Posy

The beautiful velvety red roses were spray roses. It was the first time I saw this type and quickly grab it! Normally, they are pink, white, yellow and orange sprays, the normal ones, unlike this really velvety type. You can actually feel the texture. I arranged them as a small posy in a pot to be given to my aunty who was hospitalized due to surgery. Something bold to brighten up her day during her stay at the hospital. Gorgeous flower indeed!

Firm stalks and simply gorgeous!

White Hydrangeas

White hydrangeas to portray an English country garden was the request for this floral arrangement. As the hydrangea blooms are big and round, I only require five stalks to be arranged in a low urn-like container. I used snowberries as fillers as I find using only artificial hydrangeas will outcome in a stiff arrangement. Something simple as requested :)

Lilac Roses Centerpiece

I was asked to arrange a centerpiece for a dinner gathering with friends. No particular theme was given so as usual, I picked the freshest bloom of the day. Imported fragrant lilac and white roses, light shade of purple stock and delicate Queen Anne's lace. They smell so wonderful and lovely for an enjoyable and relaxing time with close friends over dinner.

Early Spring Flowers

This floral arrangement is based on a client request for a 'wild flower' look, not to look too arranged if you know what I mean :P

I used some early spring flowers namely iris, ranunculus and lily of the valley as fillers. To further create the wild look, I used lots of foliage such as mollucella and draping ivy leaves. Fresh and pure! I love artificial flowers these days, they look so real..


New Baby Girl Flower Basket

A new baby girl flower basket screams pink indeed :P
Two types of roses were used in this arrangement which are the normal size roses and sprays. The fillers used were tiny, fluffy white babies' breath. Congratulations to the new mom and baby!


Convocation Bouquets

These two(2) bouquets were made for a niece's convocation day. One was imported roses in two pink shades and the other, white lisianthus with rich purple statice. Congratulations to you my dear, this marks the end of a memorable phase in your life and the start of a new one...
