Sold. Colourful flowers help sell the home
It is not often that a client gives you free reign on a design project, but that is exactly what happened when I was asked to fill a high-end house with beautiful flowers in anticipation of the client selling the house. The job was a designer’s dream. I started by using in-season flowers to create large, dramatic arrangements placed throughout the home. The only real restraint was time. My approach was to take direction from the English-country style of the house and the French-provincial furnishings and translate it into the florals. I took inspiration from the floral wallpaper and curtains and made them come to life.
My team was on-site all day where we created six huge arrangements including the one in the main entrance hallway. This one was close to five feet tall and equally as wide. We used foxtail lilies at their full, four-foot height. It was the largest arrangement I have ever made. In fact, we had to build it in the back of the ATV so we could ensure it was transported safely to the house!
From the owner’s garden, we incorporated agapanthus and delphinium. You can also see mini green hydrangea, coral charm peony (only available two times a year), butterfly hydrangea, lady’s mantle and astrantia from my own garden.

Still Life, Still Love! Saturday June 11th, 2011
If I had to be working on my birthday, then there could not be a better couple too work for then Kim and Matt, owners of Still Life Boutique. What a beautiful crowd of beautiful people in a beautiful spot surrounded by beautiful flowers and beautiful vintage details, and beautiful wooden accents created by Matt himself.
Gorgeous little place card holders on antique crocheted table runners.
Beautiful antique bottles filled with incredible peonies and soft ladies mantle, and asters on carved cedar planks
Hand carved walnut table numbers surrounded by more vintage loveliness. The fantastic vintage finery was rented from the lovely Josephine at Victoria Vintage Rentals. There is a treasure trove of vintage goodness there and we are so lucky to have her here on the Island.
Beautiful and bountiful peonies and hydrangeas spill out of an old suitcase…
Sweet, sentimental details everywhere and the masterpiece, piece de resistance, the INCREDIBLE cake from the amazingly talented Corrina Ludwig of Passion for Cakes.
And to finish this post some beautiful shots of the bouquets, that were filled with all manner of soft, romantic and fluffy blooms. Peonies, garden roses, sweet peas, and lisianthus. Heaven!
Still Life and Still Love…..
Well not really in a parking lot, more like in the halls and classrooms of GNS. My part for the gala however started in the parking lot as I created some arrangements for their recent Gala celebration. I teamed up with the lovely Joanne of Insite Display and the two of us transformed the ballroom at the Harbour Towers.
Bright, bold and beautiful
Insite Display’s amazing work in the ballroom

Wow, how thrilled are we to be featured in the Fall/Winter edition of Weddingbells magazine! Check out the photos by the amazingly talented Karen McNeil of the sweetest couple in the world. Britt and Ryan got married last summer in the sunflower filled back yard of her parents surrounded by close friends and family with lots of details and small touches that made the day unique and reflected their personalities beautifully.
We loved working with Britt and Ryan not only because they are two of the nicest people that you will ever meet, but also because we work with Ryan weekly, as he and his family own and operate Mt. Newton Greenhouses, which happens to be our supplier of all things floral.
