Enjoying the quiet time

In the shop:
    Though we have slowed down in the studio with orders we are continually quoting more and more each week. Right now we have been working on a fun themed bouquet for a client. She will be eloping this coming May 5th in Mexico City. That's right, on Cinco De Mayo, otherwise known as the day of the dead!.
Her bouquet is a gorgeous pale pink, full of ruffles and soft lovely layers of sheer sweetness.
In contrast she has commissioned a medium coloured aqua collar necklace with varyring lengths of aqua spikes (think teeth).
Our bouquet will meld it all together with bright colours among soft colours with a few strategically placed "day of Dead" symbols.
We have completed the floral part of the bouquet and are now wiring up the mini silver skull charms. We have also commissioned a OOAK colourful clay skull to add a bit of extra drama to the bouquet.
We cant wait to show you the finished product!

At the house:
Both Mel and I plus our families have been hit by the flu bug this week. NOT FUN.
Dad has it too. If the flu is not hard enough on it's own try it with someone who has Alzheimer's. The only resources I found told of washing hands and getting the flu shot .. not helpful when you already have the flu. Dad is moving slowly now, his reflexes have been affected by the disease, this is making it more difficult to get in to the right spots on time.
Another Alzheimer adventure he could have done with out.

Talk soon,

Aim

A wonderful first year!

   Though we have been in the wedding business over 17 years this was our first year of creating primarily alternative bouquets. We've loved the fresh weddings we had this year as well but we have fallen in love with Etsy and our alternative bouquets.

We have shipped our bouquets all over the world. Many bouquets have gone to Australia and the USA, we have shipped to Gibraltar and the United Kingdom.
We were blessed with a feature in Vogue Conde Nast publishing BRIDES magazine August/ September issue in the UK.

We have been featured on many large and small blogs alike, each one we are grateful for.
