Flowers: ME!

more thierry boutemy

I am always looking for new, original design for floral arranging. It can be a challenge finding a unique perspective on a medium that has an expiration date. I feel like florists, including myself if you would call me that, are always trying to come up with new shapes, patterns, color schemes and rhythms of an arrangement. I was stuck on Saipua for a long time. I still am. Her style is to die for, but I also like the bold, abstract whimsy of thierry boutemy. Boy o boy, look at some of his new work. You know why I like him so much? Because he shows that typical arranging isn't always the best. You can have wisps of flowers. You don't need a full expensive arrangement all tightly bunched together. Take a look below. 

I am working hard on trying to find new ways to get Foxglove out there. Boutemy makes me feel like it's  possible to be different and successful. I really have enjoyed the photo shoots that I have been apart of. Fashion and design are big inspirations to me and being able to make pieces for those mediums is rewarding in a different way then creating wedding flowers is rewarding. Arrangements aren't just for weddings, you can have them in your everyday life or open your favorite magazine and have them draped across the pages. There are exciting avenues that flowers can travel and I hope that Foxglove continues to grow and travel the unknown.

heritage prairie farm

Weddings and events take place in many different arena's. You have your downtown classy all the way to your country relaxing. I recently did flowers for a wedding at Heritage Prairie Farm. (Pictures to come soon.)

While you wait for the pictures of the wedding, I wanted to introduce you to this place. Its peaceful, beautiful and the perfect location for a rustic event. In addition to that, they do farm dinners that look magical. I haven't been to one yet, but hopefully soon I can be graced with the glory of  this farm. 

the personal series

I thought I was leaving you for the weekend. But I was just sent the link to this blog photo project that Foxglove was apart of this week. Isn't Dennise just the cutest! Love her blog and love her style. She also used our friend Linsey Burritt's apartment. Linsey is one of the lovely ladies who founded Indo Projects. So perfect! Check it out at Tenacious Dee.

zinnia's for mom

My mom and brother are coming in from St. Louis this weekend for a little visit. Family makes me feel so comfortable and calm. I am really looking forward to catching up, eating and enjoying some great company. Zinnia's are in season right now and exploding with joy and color. So, I decided to make a little arrangement with some of them for my mom. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. 

And yes, I still need to get a real camera. Can you believe it, I am so bad at buying expensive items. These were done with the iphone. 

wilder quarterly

I haven't been so good in keeping up on the blog! I do have some goodies in the works, though. Wedding pictures, a new photo shoot and more. I will post about those shortly.

I had to introduce you, today, to Wilder Quarterly. True love is what this magazine is. 

I have been busy, but will work hard on posting more!
