An Alice In Wonderland Birthday

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings...
- Lewis Carroll


Sometimes the most unusual requests are the most fun. This floral is a great example of that. We were asked to create a floral for a 21st birthday gift to be given at a party with an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party theme. We were given a few days so we hoofed it down to the local vintage stores to find a children's tea set. We hot glued the pieces of the tea set onto stakes and added them to floral. We so loved the result, we had to share it with you.

The floral has peonies, roses, sweet William, scented geranium leaf, hydrangea, viburnum and fern curls.

An upside down teacup? Quite mad really.

One lump or two?

Alice: Oh, but that's nonsense. Flowers can't talk.
The Rose: But of course we can talk, my dear.
Orchid: If there's anyone around worth talking to.
Daisy: Or about.

A Birthday Party For A Special Client

We wanted to do something fun for one of our favorite client's birthday party. Her husband had called and asked us to decorate the table at the Szmania's restaurant Magnolia where they were having a luncheon to celebrate with friends.
We wanted to play off all of the color at Szmania's so we placed manicured wheat grass in glass cubes and studded them with miniature and standard gerbera daisies in bright colors. They were set in clusters down the center of the table to create a miniature garden. She loved them and the guests received a nice gift to take home to remember the occasion.
