A Floral Tribute to the Toledo Museum of Art

I hope everyone had a chance to make it out to the Toledo Botanical Gardens for the Art Festival last weekend. We could not have asked for a better weekend!  My school, The Natural Science Technology Center was on hand to provide parking and I could not believe the turn out!

The Garden Club Forum or the Toledo District asked Beautiful Blooms by Jen to create a Floral Tribute to the Toledo Museum of Art and we chose the Glass Pavilion.  Here was our design that was on display in the Conference Center. We hope you had a chance to check it out!

The whole thing : )

The fire piece features an arrangement of carnations, miniature gerbera daisies, birds of paradise, freesia and miniature carnations.  It is meant to represent the fire that molds the lump glass into an outstanding piece of artwork meant to capture and reflect light.

The water piece features an arrangement of carnations, luna carnations, blue delphinium, green trichelium, purple limonium and miniature carnations.  The soothing cool tone colors and the splash or iridescence are meant to represent the water used to cool and set the final glass shape.

Meghan and her mom made these at the Toledo Botanical Gardens!

Betsy Radcliffe Bridal Shower

A wedding I've been looking forward to for a while is Betsy Radcliffe's in July. She's been working so hard to plan from North Carolina! We were asked to decorate for her bridal shower this past weekend and it turned out wonderful. The host was so sweet and let me be as creative as I wanted! The invitation had a ivory and sage green so I took that and went. I chose white roses, hydrangea and dendrobium orchids, green mums and hypericum berries and red twig dogwood because dogwood is the state flower of North Carolina.

Meghan did a wonderful job with the stairway and really gave the entryway a "bridal" feel with the white tulle and hydrangea. Liz Fowler, event coordinator of Betsy's wedding and from Eventology, said "Flowers looked great today that the shower for Betsy!"

Sneak Peak Into a Busy Weekend!

Busy busy weekend but I'm super excited because tomorrow is the last day with students! I will be able to completely focus on events!

Saturday we have a pink, purple, white and green wedding with hot pink and white roses, hot pink spray roses, hot pink dendrobium orchids, green hypericum berries, purple stock, purple lisianthus and purple statice.

We also have a graduation party with white hydrangeas in a square vase and we're going to make them yellow and add props to make them like a bird to represent the Pettisville Blackbirds.

Then on Sunday we have the bridal shower of one of our July brides who is from North Carolina. We are incorporating dogwood branches (the state flower), white dendrobium orchids, white roses, green mums and green hypericum berries into centerpieces for the tables. We are also decorating the banister in the entryway of the home with white tulle and white hydrangeas. It will be breathtaking!

The wedding on Sunday is going to be gorgeous too! This is my purple and blue wedding! The girls are wearing a deep purple color and the flowers consist of blue, white and green hydrangea, light blue delphinium, purple stock and white, purple and green dendrobium orchids.

I can't wait to share all the pictures! It's so fun to see what things look like on Wednesday and then share what everything was artistically turned into! Check back often and don't forget to leave comments!
