Creativity

I've been stuck at home for a few days unable to do anything but use the computer, as I've hurt my back. The good thing about this situation is it's allowed me to entertain myself by finding inspiration online and come up with some new ideas from this search.


Through a Facebook page -"Feathers"- I’ve had hundreds of ideas running through my head of how to incorporate feathers with wedding flowers. I've decided I’ll showcase some of these ideas at the upcoming bridal show at Athol Hall in August 2010.

The idea of the soft floaty feather in a romantic scenario really pleases me. Feathers come in so many shades and shapes, that they lend them selves to many a creation. I remember using feathers alot during my wedding and event studies at Tafe- back in the late 90's, but I used them in a way that was for theatrics not elegant, romantic and soft wedding themes. So I now revel in the challenge!

Lucky for me "Feathers" has a store only 30 mins from my home, and they are open today! Which would be amazing if I was able to walk/drive.... so I’ll have to get a grip on my patience –but aside my need to be creative and wait till i'm feeling better :) ... Watch this space for some of my creations!

In the meantime- here are some pretties I found trolling the web.....

Thank you Bec for an amazing birthday weekend. One I won't forget in a hurry.

Karlee's Wedding

What a beautiful day it was for Karlee - and she looked stunning when I stoped at the house to deliver the flowers.

I just have a few photos I took while making her bouquets - i'm looking forward to a few professional photos from Karlee soon. When I get them - I will update this post.

Enjoy.

Inspiration

I love drawing on images I come across for inspiration in my ideas.... I think it stems from many an inspiration assignment in D&T at school.


Here are some of my favourites.

I love how Ideas can be so simple and classic, and create such a wonderful atmosphere.

Wedding Quotes

Tonight i'm off to see Karlee about her wedding coming up in March ...Yup March ... only 5 weeks! shortest quote time i've ever done. But i'm totally excited- all things going well i get to see another dream brought to life!   How lucky am i !  :)

Saturday 6th February

I had the absolute pleasure of going to my client Barb's house on Saturday and making a beautiful floral display in vases for her house- to welcome her overseas visitors this coming week.

I love going into peoples homes, and creating a beautiful display from an armful of market fresh flowers.
It makes me so happy to see the smile on their faces....and it reminds me why I do, what I do.

It's lit and sparked a dormant passion down deep in my belly.... 2010 is going to be the year, the year that SD makes a mark on Australia-i want flowers to leave a mark in all my clients life's-like they do to mine.

Sunday 7th Feb 2010

Last Saturday it rained.... like it had never rained before in Sydney. stories or flooding, damage , and destruction... did that deter the SD team ? nope!

Sunday we were front and centre- at the St.Ives Heritage Fair. While not ideal- the heavy rain held off all day ,and only light rain in patches throughout the day .... but enough with the weather report!


A BIG thank you to all that attended the Markets on Sunday it was lovely to see watch and every one of you. I even met a few mothers of the bride...an talked much about weddings coming up.

The biggest thank-you goes to my ever adoring partner Bec. thank you darling for supporting our business... even in the rain!
