Custom Clay Baby Shower Cake Toppers

One of my long time cake clients from Australia, asked me last month if I could work on some custom baby shower cake toppers for her son and daughter-in-law as they are expecting their 2nd baby in a few more months. One baby shower theme is Neverland, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Vanessa gave me an inspiration photo to work from and this is what I created. I made a bab[...]

More White Floral Arrangements

Sometimes while designing pieces for my clients there are misunderstandings in terms of what I think they are saying and what they are really saying since most of the conversations I have with my clients are via email. This happened with the last arrangement I did that I blogged about. My long time client asked for a white/grey floral arrangement and when I heard wh[...]

Custom Home Decor PieceRoses, Peonies, Orange Blossoms, Gardenias and Stock Flowers

My client, Heather, asked me to make 2 home decor pieces for her new home in preparation for an upcoming house warming party. It took a while to get both pieces done, but thankfully she gave me a timeline. I had finished the first piece a couple months ago, but I just now finished her 2nd piece. She wanted a tall vase arrangement and she had purchased a beautiful gold[...]

Ivory, Purple and Green Bouquet

Several months ago, a friend from my old church got engaged and asked me if I would be willing to create her wedding bouquet. Chris was one of the worship music leaders and she also taught the VBS my son attended. She is such a wonderful person and gives so much in the name of Christ. She knew she wanted ivory gardenias and hydrangeas in deep purple, but also liked [...]

Bridal Bouquet & Boutonniere

A client contacted me via Etsy and asked if I could create a bridal bouquet and matching boutonniere for her. She's not getting married until later this year, but she had a bridal shoot scheduled and wanted to have it for that. Her request was for corals, pinks, peaches, ivory and some yellow. We agreed to peonies, ranunculus, roses, anemones, hipericum berries, be[...]

Bridal Shower Favors (White and Black Theme)

My cousin's daughter asked me a couple months ago if I could help her with a bridal shower she is throwing for her best friend. She wanted to do favors for a white and black themed shower. Crafty isn't her thing so we discussed ideas while I was visiting them back in April what would work. She really liked the idea of doing the flowers that would serve as decor but [...]

Ivory, Yellow and Green Wedding Bouquet

The first week of January was spent working on this bouquet. My client is not getting married until later this year, but she is having a bridal photo shoot with her photographer and she wanted to be able to have it for that shoot. When we talked about her flowers she wanted hints of coral in her bouquet. We hadn't talked much via Facebook so there was a bit of conf[...]

Replicating a Holy Communion Celebration Cake

A couple of months ago, one of my long time clients asked me if I could replicate a cake she had created for her daughter's Holy Communion. She sent me the photos and I said I could do it. I procrastinated for some time making the cake because for one thing, laying clay on a styrofoam cake form is not my forte. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised that I[...]

Tropical Wedding Bouquet for a Destination Maui Wedding

It's been a busy week of getting flowers done in between being a mom. Today, I finished this beautiful tropical bouquet for my client, Malia. She's from Canada and is planning to get married in Maui next month. She shared with me a photo of a silk floral arrangement that she really liked. This bouquet contained plumerias, Asiatic lilies, calla lilies, 3 different c[...]

White Lily with Rhinestones

This bride requested a white lily for her hair, but instead of the clay stamens and pistil, she really wanted to have some "bling". So I replicated the look of the stamens and pistil with the handwired rhinestones.
