Milk Glass Obsession } Portland, OR Wedding Florist

So neutral, yet so not.  I am in love right now with all things milk glass.  Herbs, flowers, strawberries.  What could you put in milk glass that wouldn’t be bettered by the exercise?  Eclectic, vintage, classic, and a bit girly.  Yes, Yes, Yes!

Reflections on Wrist Corsages } Portland, OR Wedding Florist

Why do I loathe them so??  I think because wristlets in my high school days were so scratchy and chintzy.  For a long time I have made mine on wide satin ribbon that you simply tie around your wrist.  Now the floral supply companies are making pearl and rhinestone bracelet-esque corsage bases.  They are also making slap-bracelet style bases.  So throwback, but so practical (except when the bracelet is made in iridescent turquoise).  I think I may warm up to them… grudgingly…  Here is one from a recent event.

In bloom. } Portland, OR Wedding Florist

These little lovelies are blooming as we speak right outside my front door.  The richness of spring is upon me (depite the hail assaulting my newly-planted garden this week).

What about this little number, eh?  Trachelium, pincushion protea, berzelia, alstromeria (one flower you won’t see around here often, so get your fill…), & kangaroo paw.
