P R O M


My favorite part of prom is when the kids come in to order and pick up.
Some come in solo, some with a parent, 
and some as a couple.
  But, they usually come in and say the same thing.
"I heard this is where you go to get a cool corsage".
Yep. 
Stems is where you come if  you want more than
"Option 4"
 offered from the local grocery store,
and you want a presentation that does not include 
a bar code on top of the box.
 Or, if you want to say,
 "Just do something with this color, cool, funky, 
I trust you."

Below are ideas.
 Let me know your color and we will

Low Lush Garden Landscape for Centerpiece.

I love to use wooden crates for low, lush garden landscapes. 
Great for centerpieces. 
You can see over the flowers and actually take 
a virtual walk in the design.
So fun to create, just see where the flowers find themselves. 
Landscaping on a miniture level. 
Here is a how to for you to make your own.
Be creative and enjoy!

 
First, line the box with heavy foil, or, if you are lucky enough to find a 
disposabal foil baking pan just the right size, this works best. 
Just trim the edges.  You can hide the foil at the end with sheet moss.
Fill with oasis, cutting spaces which will house the plants.
I am fond of using succulents. 
Keep your flowers all the same height and very low to the box. 
Place in clusters, just how they grow in the gardens.

I like to use lots of textures. Soft and frilly flowers, sharp and edgy. 
Moss, berries, rocks and twigs.
This design has succulents, lavender roses, Freesia, 
Kermit poms, Elephant toes,  seeded Eucalyptus, green roses, 
Hydrangea, Kale & Green Trick, to name a few.

Vintage Wedding

Carly and Tait got married September 24, 2011 at The Evergreen Lakehouse.
Lot's a planning and detail.   They collected the old keys, vintage frames and vases for the decor.
Beautiful paper for the hand-made paper airplanes.
The bridemaids dresses with a colorful print, each different and each girl wearing cowboy boots.

Paper airplanes to fly and announce the newly married couple.
I like that the guys told me these bouts were "space age Jetson-like.

Organic Wedding

Rebecca came into my studio to discuss her wedding flowers for Sept 4th a few months back.
She told me she and her fiancĂ©  were "foodies"
and having fresh vegetables, herbs, and hops was most important.
They provided the fresh vegies from an organic farm and each table had a different theme, such as
Corn, Squash, Eggplant, Tomatoes, Carrots....I added fresh mint, sage, rosemary, lavender, moss, cones, hops and berries.  I really liked how they turned out!
I got fresh radishes from the local market to add to the bride and bridesmaids bouquets.
The scent was unbelievably fresh and calming from all of the herbs.

Her bouquet.

Bouttonniers with hops, berries, baby cones and rosemary.
