CALLA LILIES AND THEIR SPLENDOR

Ordered for a 25th anniversary we created this arrangement for a very special customer. It includes select white calla lilies, white snapdragons, Limbo (green) roses, white dendrobrium orchids, mini lime green hydrangeas, Midori anturiums, Sharron fern and variegated pitt. We painted the branches silver and added a soft silver ribbon around the vase to highlight the 25 years.

A gentle combination of mini lime green hydrangeas, green cymbidium orchids, Sweet Unique Roses and Berzelia.

CLAUDIO & ANTONELLA'S WEDDING

We met this lovely couple just a few years back when Claudio opened up his Patisserie a couple of blocks down from us. I highly suggest you visit them for any special occasion, their cakes are not only pieces of art but oh so yummy! http://www.dolcipiu.ca/

More pics to come...

Antonella's bridal bouquet is composed of mini green hydrangea, 'dark pink persuasion' calla lilies, 'Crystal blush' calla lilies, 'Geraldine' roses, white cymbidium, 'Lydia' spray roses, finished off with a touch of berzelia for texture and verigated pitt.


The Maid of honor bouquet is a mixture of 'Geraldine', 'Esperance' and 'Duet' roses with 'Majolica' spray roses. Added for texture is berzelia and white wax flower.


















The 2 flower girls carried a bouquet of 'persuasion' pink callas, mini green cymbidium orchids, 'Geraldine' roses, wax flower and berzelia.

MINI BLOOM


This little munchkin insisted on carrying out the bouquet for her Mommy.
Over the years we have seen many children go from strollers to tuxes, it is a joy to share our passion with them. And of course they remember us for the treats... :)

Montreal weddings - Cymbidium and calla lily wedding bouquet


Same bouquet but two different backrounds. Sebastien, one of my good friends who owns a photography business (http://www.saphoto.ca/) was kind enough to edit this pic allowing me to showcase this gorgeous, richly textured bridal bouquet. You be the judge. Which backround do you prefer?

RED ANTHURIUM PLANT IN VASE


Anthuriums stand out with their heart-shaped spathes. With little care your plant could bloom all year round.

TEMPERATURE: Best indoor temperatures range 78F to 90F and night temparatures of 70F to 75F. Temparatures above 90F could burn the foliage and reduce the flower life and lower temperatures around the 40F to 50F could cause the leaves to yellow. Anthuriums will not resist frost.

LIGHT: Place your plant in a sunny location but avoid direct sunlight. In lower light leaves may stretch and become distorted.

WATERING: Allow the earth to slightly dry out between waterings


POISONOUS HOUSEPLANT! Keep from children and pets. If ingested contact your Doctor immediately

MILLES FLEURS


A 'milles fleurs' is easily translated to 'thousand flowers'. For us florist this means a large variety is mixed flowers and colors are used to create an arrangement or a bouquet of cut flowers. There is a strong importance between color and texture to create an arrangement that doesn't look like a bubble gum machine.
The following composition includes, 'picasso' calla lilies, white stock, white snapdragons, lavender larkspur, Pink 'ballet' roses, orange 'milva' roses, chartreuse green dendrobium orchids, 'jaguar' mokara orchids and 'red france' roses.
