bouquet friday 7

Bouquet Friday is almost coming to a close. This week I bring you a traditional style bouquet: Hand-held cascade. My best friend Melissa would go "ga-ga" over the color, who is a purple fanatic! It's done up in roses, dasies, lilacs, and other purple fillers.

Something blue. This is perfect for a bride that needs her "something blue". Gathered blue hydrangeas, poppies, green peonies, snowballs, and other blue fillers. I wrapped the stems with light green ribon and added a little sparkle with swarovski crystals.

In going with the Bouquet Friday theme, I'm bring you an idea for the flower girl in your wedding.

I took a basket and faux rose petals and glued them on with hot glue in rows over lapping each other. I also added glitter here and there on some petals. Add a matching bow, and there you have a unique flower girl basket.

happy friday!

It's friday again, and that means showing you another bouquet! I'm all about SPRING lately, so why not make a bright and cheery bouquet, perfect for the coming months weddings. Put together with tulips, daffodils, mini ranunculus, tied together with periwinkle satin and sheer ribbon.

happy friday!

It's bouquet friday here at the Happy Snow Globe, and I present to your bouquet number four. Many stems of Baby's Breath wrapped together with white satin ribbon with a sheer peach bow. Simple but elegant.

Here is bouquet number 3 I made. This one I would say is another classic...classic RED roses. I took a bunch of them and wrapped them up in red satin ribbon. I did add some sparkly details: on each rose head I added a swarovski crystals to add some shine. I also added a row of them on the wrapped stems. Perfect for the classic but modern bride!

Here's another bouquet I made for work. This one I wanted to give it a classic bride feel to it. I used four hydrangeas and tied it with a "Tiffany Blue" color.

A few days later that week I received my Martha Stewart Weddings magazine in the mail (my friend bought the subscription for me for my bday) and they had a similar white bouquet tied with the same color ribbon; I guess I'm right up with the trends!

Another project I have been working on at work is a wedding display. I am trying to promote brides to come in and have me do their wedding flowers. So I made a collection of bouquets, and would feature one every Friday for brides here on the web. Hopefully these will help my friend Nicky for ideas! (although she is so creative already!)

what do you guys think of my new layout? it was time for a change!

back

My husband got back from New Orleans this afternoon, after being away for a week. He had to go to a couple of conferences for his work. He was able to go around Bourbon Street and around New Orleans. I'm so glad to have him back at home!!

melons

Today is national Watermelon day!! Woooohooo!! Everybody grab a slice of this delicious fruit!! Mike told me awhile ago that in Japan they have figured out how to grow watermelons square for their lack of living space. These unique melons cost about $82 and regular melons go for $15- $25!!

Check out that square one with a PINK bow!! The article said, that one is $300. I think I would take a regular and squeeze it in somewhere!!

13th...

A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English, German, Polish and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe. Similar superstitions exist in some other traditions. In Greece or Spain, for example, Tuesday the 13th takes the same role. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.

The next Friday the 13th will occur June 2008.

Due to the large number of negative events that happen in the world, a similar list could be compiled for any combination of day of the month and day of the week. Friday the 13th is also sometimes known as "Dooms day."

~January 13, 2006, and October 13, 2006, were not only Fridays, but the digits in the month, day, and year of each date add up to 13. This last occurred on October 13, 1520, and will next occur on May 13, 2011.

~Lake Storm "Aphid", an out-of-season snowstorm that wrought havoc on the Buffalo, NY area took place on Friday, October 13, 2006.

~The asteroid 99942 Apophis will make its close encounter on Friday, April 13, 2029.

~Hurricane Charley made landfall in Florida on Friday, August 13, 2004.

~Several tornadoes touched down in north Texas on Friday, April 13, 2007

~Typhoon Man-yi passed very close to the tiny island of Okinawa, Japan on Friday, July 13, 2007

Inspiration Friday

I've seen on many blogs that people write about Inspiration Friday, so I thought I would join in on the fun!!

I was looking through my stack of magazines and I came across this Country Home March 2006 issue. The article is called "rooms in bloom" (where that picture is from--->) As some of you know that I LOVEEEE flowers and this article is full of them. Sooo pretty. So I would encourage all of you to cut some flowers from your garden or go to your local florist to get a pretty bouquet to set on your table for some cheer!
