I love the look of hydrangea clustered together in glass containers. It reminds me of a bunch of little butterfly wings. In blue, purple and green it instills a calm feeling.

Tuesday Très Beau {Tablescapes}
When creating tablescapes for weddings, the first thing I take into account is the palette of the tables, as it represents the main canvas. In the above wedding we did, at LaCaille, we used white as the base color (the table cloth color), to enable the beautiful lime cymbidiums and spattering of pink floral to pop. In order to create an elegant feel, tall centerpieces were used with a simplistic yet stylish design, as well as several types of orchids for sophisticated depth.
Thursday Color Theory {Green & White}
Green and white together inspire a fresh and relaxed feel. I like this color palette for a spring wedding, as it has that feeling of new growth and revitalization. The above wedding was one we did in a tent, which gave us a beautiful all white canvas to work with. The floral was created with white oriental lilies, calla lillies, roses, hydrangea, and orchids as well as green orchids, roses, artichokes, grapes, asparagus,grass, and pears. We hung green, white and tan parasols and white draped fabrics from the roof of the tent. Along with candles to give a soft feel, and white linens and chairs to help the green pop, this wedding became a memorable one for us.
Thursday Color Theory {Blue Christmas}
Do you ever get tired of the same old holiday colors? This year I could not warm myself to the usual red and green decor and went in search of a palate that was fresh, but still carried the holiday spirit. Blues and greens, done right, can create a very deep and calming statement for decor. Above is a nice mixture of these colors used in holiday themed settings. LOVE IT!

Cymbidium Orchids Enhanced
It’s fall and most of you have very little blooming flowers left in your gardens. It’s your last chance to use up what you have left for a great DIY floral arrangement. For this arrangement I pulled some Anemone that was still in full bloom, as well as fall leaves from a Japanese Maple – and other trees leaves changing colors. This DIY calls for you to buy a few things to add some interest. Two stems of Cymbidium Orchids is all that is needed. They aren’t the cheapest flower, but they make a huge impact. If you don’t have an unusual container for your arrangement, there are great finds in your local second hand stores. With such an eclectic mix of flowers, there aren’t any set rules for shape. Try for staggered heights and hanging leaves to one side for a natural flow.
