Welcome to the first ever Party Petals blog. I realize that I’m about 5 years behind the times, but I am somewhat technology challenged. I’ve tried for about a year now to figure out how to set up a blog and I think it’s finally working now…better late than never. I’m really excited to be able to post events and pictures of things I’m working on and getting lots of feedback about it.
First of all, I need to thank my amazing husband, Jason, for everything he does for me. He is the sanity and organization behind my artistic craziness. I love you, Sweetie.
I participated in my second wedding show last weekend. It was the Dream Wedding Show at Cal Expo in Sacramento. The weather was not ideal, very rainy and stormy, the turnout still seemed pretty good. Gotta give it to brides…bad weather won’t stop them from a good wedding show:-) I’m attaching some pictures of the arrangements I made. I ended up making 6 bridal bouquets, 6 centerpieces and I even did a sweetheart table set-up that was pretty amazing. I used my tall 6-arm wire centerpiece decorated with curly willow, ruskus and a floral wreath at the bottom full of fall flowers and greenery. Adorable candle cups with hanging crystals hung from each of the arms. Each of the place settings had an open gift box with an arrangement inside to serve as a favor…so cute! My mom actually came up with that idea, thanks mom. The silverware was place on top of kermit mum “napkins.” The two chairs had hanging arrangements on the back. One was a cone covered with galax leaves with yellow cymbidium orchids at the top. The other arrangement was a bowl covered with horsetail and green cymbidium orchids at the top.
Thank you to everyone who attended the show and came by my booth to chat. I met a lot of great people and I’m looking forward to designing their wedding flowers.
