flowers! ; a bit of something different

Hey, back again. So within the last months (after mother's day) two of our excellent European florists; one had gone on holiday for a month and the other, my trainer left Australia to go back home to start a new. So my point, because of shortage of 'senior' florists I had to step up and take a few of their places in the workplace. So here is some of my 'not-so-ordinary' bouquet works.

 

Couldn't resist but to finish off with a rose posy with ivy and berzillia berry.

Flowers flowers and more flowers!

And for the flower segment. We are well into autumn now, just days away from winter technically speaking. And oh am I loving it!

Speaking of autumn, while working at one of the shops I did get a chance to make an autumn stlyed wedding bouquet. One of those customers who decide to call up on a Sunday and its a bit like 'Oh I need a wedding bouquet for tomorrow, but I don't want this this this and want only this'. Yeah.. buddy, not gonna happen. But in the end we did end up negotiating for an autumned styled bouquet. Well.. on a Sunday you are kind of stuck with the flowers you have in the shop at the time. But seeing as the guy who called up wanted an all red bouquet and absolutely no roses.. hmmmm.....

So the next morning, he came to pick up this. I was told that he was very pleased with the bouquet and said it was perfect. NOTE: it was JUST for a photoshoot.
And I kinda quessed, you know trendy, out of the norm kinda stuff you would see in the magazines. (obvisouly not pretty frilly magazines. But more style, fashion mags.

And here is Miss 'Stellar'. On of our catalogue products which has been kept from mother's day. Honestly none of them are true to what is displayed on the website flower wise. But a florist works with what she or hes got!




And last but not least. A trio of vases put together with what I could find in the shop. Each vase with a colour and texture of their own.

Just can't get enough flowers!

Collection of the last weeks worth of arrangements. Below is something you will find on Pearson's Florist Website . Just my version considering it is an out of season product. This sells for $220.00

 

 

In the last image, don't know if you can see properly. But stems had orchids spiralled around them, so the vase looks like its filled with orchids but oh wait!  an arrangement on the top :-O Wowerz! And to all my little anonymous lurkers, please leave a comment. They do make me happy. I feel like a crazy person who blogs to myself in third person. I'm also open to baking suggestions or request or flower advice. PS SYDNEY-ERS MOTHERS DAY IS COMING UP, I HOPE YOU REMEMBERED TO GET YOUR MUMMY'S SOMETHING NICE. 8TH MAY, SUNDAY!!

Also just wanted a little shout out; Jay Park today released his MV for Abandoned . Was on my phone on the way to work at 5:50AM buying it off itunes. Support Kpop artists!! 

Peace~

day 1

It is currently 12:39am on a (now) Saturday, and I am currently writing my first post to my new blog because I know very well that if I start customizing my template first, there wouldn't be the slightest chance that I would be bothered to type something up. 

I am currently working as a florist in Sydney, and no I do not listen to classical music and smell roses all day. I prefer dancing to beyonce with my co-worker and smelling sweet pea instead :o)

Other than my love for my job, I also enjoy photography, both digital and film. I have a collection of film cameras, as well teapots, vases (I am a bit of a hoarder, shhhhh). And as a starter to my blog, heres a little example of whats to come.

this was my final assesment in flower school. My theme; Pincchio! who doesn't love a good vintage puppet.
