Oxygen Event at Nellcote!

Wow, it's been a busy Spring! My apologies for the lull in postings, but we've been swamped with weddings, fundraisers, and special events. Speaking of which, we recently worked with the Oxygen Network to decorate the private dining space of Nellcote for a Glee celebration event. They wanted something vivid and modern to accompany their gold linen napkins and rich black table linens. Below are a couple of snapshots that show the finished outcome. You'll see how we grouped fuchsia and gold mokaras with red dahlias and mango calla lilies. Enjoy!

 

Our Fleurotica 2012 Dress!!

The Garfield Park Conservatory held its fourth annual FLEUROTICA runway fashion show this past Friday. For those not familiar with the event, selected florists were challenged to create designs made of plants and flowers to raise money for the park. It was just like being a designer on Project Runway!

Here's a snapshot of our design this year.

Happy Monday!

Scarlet Petal takes the runway at Fleurotica 2011!

We had so much fun supporting the Garfield Park Conservatory last year by participating in Fleurotica. For us, it was a small glimpse (practice run) into the world of fashion design. Here's a couple of snapshots of our model taking the runway.

Here she is sporting our fresh leaf crown.

Her top was designed using ti leaves. The full skirt was heather and white tulle.

The great news is that we were asked back again, so come join us for a fun filled evening of fashion, drinks, and auctions. We look forward to seeing you there!
