Trash to Treasure – Week 2

June 24, 2013

We hope you enjoyed last week’s post of Dawn’s fascinator a la The Great Gatsby!
This week’s treasure is a little more free-spirited.
Inspiration: I’m currently planning my daughter’s birthday party (a bohemian-style soiree with tents, s’mores and dreamcatcher crafts) so I’ve had dreamcatchers on the brain.
Supplies:
(Side note: I just love the A Beautiful Mess Photo app!)
Making dreamcatchers will be a part of my daughter’s party this year – in-between making
and eating s’mores… (I’m sensing a s’mores food post in my future!)
While we won’t be using flowers in our dreamcatchers, this was a nice trial run 
to see what I could do with what we had in the studio.
Hyacinth was the best choice of the flowers at my disposal – it’s hearty, kind of waxy 
and would sustain a good “threading”.
And… here is my end result!
(Note: you’ll see I also used some wire vase filler with lime green beads 
that wasn’t pictured in my “supplies” photo. Great things come by happenstance sometimes!)
There you have it!
This little beauty is ready to be displayed and enjoyed!
Bonus: it smells lovely, too!
Until next time…
Cheers!
Julie

Trash to Treasure

June 17, 2013

This post will kick off a new weekly topic for us – Trash to Treasure!

Each week one of our team members will create something beautiful from the less than perfect blooms we can’t use at our events. We still see the beauty in them and wanted to put them to good use.

This week Dawn created a beautiful, summer-themed fascinator using some wire,
left over blooms, a headband and some fun, metallic floral mesh.

Inspiration:
Since the release of The Great Gatsby movie last month, the style of the twenties 
has made a huge come back – it seems to also stemmed from all of the beautiful fascinators 
seen at the Royal Wedding two years ago.

Kelsey was our beautiful model – another team member you’ll be hearing from later in the week!

Gorgeous, isn’t it? 

Featured Blooms:
Peonies, Hyacinth, Sweet Pea and Dusty Miller.

Cheers!

Paper Party 2013

May 29, 2013

I am so excited to share this whimsical party with you today. The lovely Nole from Oh So Beautiful Paper Blog recently hosted a party for all her paper friends and industry colleagues during the National Stationery Show.  When I saw the inspiration board I knew this would be a fun collaboration. We took our cue from the party signs they were going to create with gold fringe. Gold glitter vases seemed quite appropriate for the Hudson Terrace venue. Mother Nature did us right that week with some amazing, vibrant colors. Janice from Bellwether Events pulled all the details together and you can see from the images everyone had a ball. How cool is that backdrop behind the bar!? Be sure to check out all the prettiness here.
