Found this on Arabia Weddings. It is paper that has been painted silver and then formed into flowers; unique and ever lasting. I would like to have seen a better stem treatment on the bouquet. Something like a pewter colored double faced satin would have been nice.
Getting ready for the upcoming wedding season! Part of what getting ready entails is searching for inspiring web sites and seeing what other designers are creating. This one caught my eye:

Beverly's, our fine dining restaurant, rocked the Epicurean Delights event in Spokane Washington.
Always a winner with Lakeside Floral, the team hit a bulls-eye with Epicurean attendees:
• Outstanding Entrée – Beverly’s for its Filet Mignon and Potato Cake
The Holiday in Lights Crew are busy getting ready for our guests. Lights are being strung in the trees and used to outline the portico, while the corporate building has the frame work of the huge tree on the roof up. What an exciting time to be at The Coeur d' Alene Resort! I can hardly wait to see how beautiful every thing is going to be.

Glimpses of weddings 2014
Autumn leaves are falling and The Coeur d' Alene Resort is resplendent against the changing landscape.
Did the Coeur d' Alene Cruises trip across the lake and up the mouth of the St. Joe River on October 12th. It was a restful trip.
Got to enjoy the amenities as a guest!
American cut-flower lobby supports businesses like Skyline Flowers; growers with fields in N. California and wholesale outlets. Lakeside Floral & Design uses American grown cut-flowers as much as possible and uses Skyline Flowers in Spokane, Washington as a major vendor.
We would love to create floral chandeliers, like the ones shown in the article; awesome display!
Domestic flowers adorned a White House state dinner after a campaign that included a chat with President Obama on Air Force One.
It''s a beautiful day at The Coeur d'Alene! The lights are strung, the trees are decorated, the wreaths are up; all in anticipation of our Holiday in Lights ceremony on Friday November 29th.
Carol Brabank, the new Floral Assistant to the Director at Lakeside Floral & Design made this bouquet. Approximately 20 minutes after it was delivered, the recipient called to say "it was the prettiest bouquet that I've ever received". I agree, it is very pretty!
Please join me in welcoming Carol Brabank to Lakeside Floral & Design as the new Floral Assistant! Carol has extensive experience in floral design, joining us after working for Spokane Produce and Just Roses. We are fortunate to have her on our team! Yeah, Carol!
These late bloomers were planted along the creek bank, near the Peace Pole, at the Finch Arboretum. They were celebrating Earth Day with me!
Spent Earth Day at the Finch Arboretum; awash in sunshine and birdsong!

We created this for a client that wanted "funky"; the space was traditional. So, we combined the funk of Billy Balls with a traditional European influenced arrangement. The container, made to look like stone, added to the funk/fun of piece.
Spokane Community College is presenting a Flower Show and Plant Sale this Saturday at the SCC campus. Check out one of the huge floral Koi's created by students for the show; incredible!

The flower shop is back open after a week of closure for spring break. So, what do florists at a lake resort do on spring break? Head to Lake Chelan to stay at a lake resort, of course! I found this lovely flowering tree while exploring the town.
It's a beautiful day at The Coeur d' Alene Resort!

This is a great link to an article about how to choose a lovely Easter Lily. Have a delightful Easter holiday.
The majestic trumpet-shaped Easter lily seems to herald the message of the season. The blooms have been a part of Easter festivities since the late 1880s. We have an American tourist to thank for that. In the early 1880s, Mrs. Thomas Sergeant fell in love with the plants while on a spring visit to…

Boutonniere featuring a Rosita Vendela Rose, Stephanotis with pearl pins, and seeded Euc; the stem is finished in satin ribbon with a pink wire over wrap.
This is a work in progress. I thought it would be interesting to show what we are creating for an upcoming wedding. This is going to be the bride's toss bouquet. We are making ribbon and tulle roses then gluing vintage-look brooches, rhinestones, pearls, and other findings into the blooms. This bouquet is about 1/4 of the way complete. Please check in again to view the progress on this project!
So, what do floral designers do in their off time? Go to the conservatory at Manito Park, of course!
It's blooming inside of Lakeside Floral & Design! We have beautiful Cherry Blossoms, fresh Tulips, Spray Roses, and Ranunculus. It's Spring-time in the design room; as white caps dance across the Lake and snow pellets cover the ground outside!

Rene swears that the cascade-style of wedding bouquets is coming back into vogue; I'm not so certain, at least in our market. I did two small cascading bridal bouquets all of the last season and haven't had any brides this season showing an interest in the style.
Had a great time at the design seminar this past Sunday! Look at some of Rene's creations...
Beautiful sunshine upon the lake today! The Coeurd'Alene Resort was THE place to be!
