Hotel Radisson Centerpieces
September 12, 2008
Every week we deliver fresh flower arrangements to the Radisson hotel on Post rd. in Warwick. This weeks were especially interesting, utilizing one-off hand blown glass vases, bamboo, and tropical plants.
We retrieved these unique vases from the hotel if you would like them in one with an arrangement

Gerbera and Chocolate Wedding
September 12, 2008
Gerbera daisies, chocolate center, stock, and hypericum. That’s what it takes to make the most delicious and innovative (not to mention tastefully simple and clean) wedding of the season.
This wedding was just recently (a few days ago) hosted at the Waterman Grill in Providence, RI. The chocolate brown with white was something wanted by the bride, (we jokingly showed her the brown ribbon with a leopard print ribbon underneath… which actually didn’t look that bad). Upon first sitting down with us she had said that none of the other florists she had visited could figure out what she wanted… as you can see we did:
The brown tablecloth looked amazing
As you can see, the colors of the wedding were complimented by the colors of the room
Take that Martha Stewart!
The cake, post-decoration
mmm... delicious
Garden in a Peapod
September 6, 2008
Hello folks, sorry for the lack of updates… school is starting up again and professors usually frown upon my furiously typing in class…
Anyways, this arrangement is for a real gardener and plant lover. We used a ceramic pea pod container and filled it with a large variety of plants, such as Stars of Bethlehem, Tritoma, Lavender Roses, Tuber Roses, Cabbage, Gerbera, Adriatic Lilies, Rose Hips, Pink Spray Roses, and Rosemary.

Cabbages and Butterflies
A little spanish moss really brings out the colors of the roses... its a good thing
Notice how the butterfly pulls the oranges and whites down into the core of the arrangement
I love the macro function on this camera!

Sunflowers and Hydrangeas
August 29, 2008
Back with the crowd favourite, Hydrangeas! this time paired with sunflowers, iris, stock, and a berry garland.
The arrangement stands about 3ft tall
The hydrangeas were picked directly from our gardens
Yellow and Purple are an incredible color choice, especially when you include Iris
Tropical Wedding Shower
August 23, 2008
Tropical Centerpiece
For this series of arrangements, a particularly artistic client wanted colourful and summery (but not too crazy) table arrangements. We opted to go with oranges and purples to give the shower a tropical and exotic feeling. There were going to be eight tables at the shower and we needed to keep the arrangements short enough so that guests could see each other over them. We used roses, tritoma, pin cushion, protea, birds of paradise, orchids, assorted eucalyptus, and other tropical plants such that each arrangement looked different. For the pictures below I picked out two of my favorite arrangements out of the eight.
As you can see, we used a 5x5x5" clear glass cube vase
The birds of paradise incorporate all the colours we used throughout the arrangement
The oranges and purples compliment each other immensely

Home Grown Wedding
July 21, 2008
Recently we had a couple come in requesting that we do a wedding for them using flowers from their garden as well as thai orchids. It was decided that the arrangements be clean and contemporary, not over the top. We created bows with Springerii for the chairs along the isle, two vases full of the couples Hydrangeas, and two centerpieces to hang over the couple.

We then created centerpieces to sit around candles on the tables.
