A classic in the making?

Like every little mini business set-up, when you keep going it grows and things sorta progress naturally after like a hundred set backs. From the various arrangements I made, the all-rose-only with or without whatever foliage seems to be the most popular as an affordable option to the budget savvy client. Is it just me or it's starting to look like a possible Flores Studio Classic rose bouquet? I'm seriously considering this idea. Here's another in the most romantic shade of pink I made yesterday.

From Oregon with love

This bouquet was ordered from Oregon, Portland and was the last order I took before the CNY festive break. I couldn't say no when I'm given full creative freedom. :D

Final hour

Some advise for floral orders during a festive season. Order ahead and never at the very last day of the final hour before everything closes. I grabbed what's left that's good for this very last nano second order for a friend. I'm sorry it wasn't as big as you wanted but everything was sold out.

Pour Le Dentiste

I was asked to make a masculine gift by the wife of a dentist. I really don't know how to translate that so I suggested maybe a rustic looking crate gift basket with some flowers. She was cool with it so I proceeded with making this. I should have made an appointment to scale my teeth on the day I delivered it coz I'm kinda a lil overdue. :/ Oh well.

Pink

Growing up I was never that fond of pink colored things. Dark blue was my favorite as a kid but always found myself loving other colors too. I wouldn't say pink was my least favorite color but I was just never that girly. Growing up I learned about Pantone in art school and I thought that was pure genius but it got me even more indecisive when I have to choose colors for my projects. These days I just let the flowers speak to me when a client gives me complete freedom to do whatever the hell I want! So no more choosing colors from a chart, less headache. Plus you just gotta take what's available and deal with it.

Round and round

This delivery for the clients mom took me awhile to find the house. Can you believe that there's a map of that housing area for people to find the roads? I thought it was pretty funny but I did get a tad lost in there even with the map. Why do people need to live in such a complicated community? Although all the houses there are huge. I saw one house which was still under construction and the design was PERFECT for a Halloween party. I had to take a picture to show my best friend but I wont be sharing it here. I'm just babbling.... forgive me.

Happy Birthday Popo!

Don't you ever...ever use distance as an excuse! This young lady ordered these from Oz land for her grandmother's birthday. Men please take note. It really is the effort and thought that counts. Apparently this pot lasted way longer than it should have. I'm glad to hear that.

To great husbands

A family friend ordered these for his wife. Well I must take some credit for suggesting these peonies when they were in season for a brief moment. I couldn't stop smelling them all night. Good choice.

What are the odds

Sometimes simplicity is more, or was it less is more? Same thing. These were ordered by different people, yet they both wanted plain roses. I was close to asking "Are you sure you don't know Nur?"

The first brown paper order

My friend Nat needed a "casual bouquet" for someone who I'm sure he has some hearts for. Naturally I'm more than glad to help him out on this. We decided it shall not look romantic, rather happy and thoughtful. Brown paper makes it all more rustic and casual. I should check up on their relationship status soon.

I checked in on him the next day to see how was the bouquet doing as he was not seeing her till the evening birthday celebration. Evidence of it still alive below.

Happy Birthday Momma

My mom turned 60 last month. I took her out for breakfast & dinner prior but had a small simple celebration at home for her. She's not fussed about flowers and generally likes all flowers. I picked up some beautiful red hydrangeas as they are harder to get your hands on and made a simple arrangement for her for her bedside table. (naturally I ended up caring for it in the living room more often)
