JMFlora Design

Happy Monday Guys...I have a surprise for you today...a few beautiful JMFlora Design lovelies!Frequently I receive emails from the wonderful TBC readers asking me to showcase more of my work and starting in January with the launch of the new blog site...i promise you that I will!!  Saturday I had the pleasure of working with Maria of Ritzy Bee on one of her corporate events and I asked Kate Headley if she could stop by while I was setting up and take a few pics....AND....this would be the perfect opportunity for Maria and I to meet Kate....and let me tell you...not only is Kate an amazing photographer...she is such a sweetheart and in true "Kate Style"....when I got home on Saturday night and opened up my email...you guessed it...she had sent me the images...thanks Kate!!  

Maria told me for this event her color palettes were whites and greens......even though it was a holiday party, she didn't want it to have the "holiday look and feel"....but she wanted the florals to make a "wintry and elegant" feel....with that in mind...these are the florals that I used throughout the arrangements.........White Hydrangea, White/Green Super Parrot Tulips, gorgeous white Amaryllis, White Ranunculus, White/Green Helleborus, China Berries and the most beautiful and crisp Seeded Eucalyptus.....the key to creating beautiful arrangements...always have fresh florals!!

 

I purchased the birch wrap around the containers at the local Pottery Barn here in Richmond!  I love the look and feel it gives to the arrangement!

These would also be gorgeous for a "Winter White" theme wedding!

 

 

 

 

These were on the buffet tables...in addition to the florals, I added in a few "holiday elements"!

Thanks Maria...it was great seeing you and I'm so glad everyone loved the arrangements and thanks Kate for the beautiful images...I'll see you in a couple of weeks!!
