Spring Flowers

I love to see bunches of cut tulips for sale in late February at my local flower shops as it is a sign that spring is near.  Spring garden blooms bring us, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, forsythia and pussy willow to name a few. Here are some spring inspired designs.

Light pink tulips, lisianthus, novelty chrysanthemums, purple hyacinth and fresh curly willow

Pussy willow branches, yellow tulips, hydrangea, mini gerbera and solidago

Liatris, iris, forsythia, fragrant freesia and daffodils (narcissus)

Viburnum, alstroemeria, novelty chrysanthemum, mini gerbera and green trick dianthus

Pretty Pastels

This past weekend, I created some arrangements for an event held at Mark McEwan's Fabbrica restaurant in Don Mills.  The client wanted the arrangements to be in pastel colours as the celebration was in honour of a young child.

These were the centre pieces for the dinner table. (Hydrangea, mini gerbera, freesia, off white spray roses, sorbonne lilies, yellow carnations, small green chrysanthemum, green hypericum berries and variegated pittosporum.

These taller arrangements complemented the centre pieces on the display tables.
(Carnations, snapdragon, gerbera, sorbonne lilies, spray roses, small green chrysanthemum, galpinii leucadendron, freesia and a variety of greens.)
