Winter White Flowers

Inspired by the white rose seen in fashion designer Katie Ermilio's Upper West Side apartment, I picked up two bundles of white tulips from Trader Joe's and made myself a similar arrangement.  I cut about 4 inches off the bottom of flowers and then tightly packed them in this simple footed hurricane from West Elm - it's the perfect container for creating an elegant, modern arrangement. There's something about white flowers in the winter that I simply love. What's your favorite winter flower?

Currently Coveting | Fresh Florals

Muted colors and fresh florals, each of these looks struck heart chords I didn't know existed.  I was all about florals in my youth, think floral Dr. Marten boots and Shabby Chic bedding, so I thought I had outgrown that stage in my life, until now.

Smitten | Bella Foster

While perusing the March issue of Martha Stewart Living I stumbled across this Still Life with Flowers and Moth giclée print by one of my favorites - Bella Foster!  The limited edition print is available exclusively through Wayne Pate for a mere $115.  Lovely, right?

California Citrus

 

As I mentioned before, my sister is engaged and has "hired" moi to plan her wedding.  While diligently doing my job and searching for inspiration I read about a florist shop in Brooklyn named Saipua. After reading about their inventive arrangements I swung by their site and was immediate taken back by this beauty!  The colors, the unexpected combination of fruit and flowers - this is honestly the loveliest arrangement I ever did see.   If Lauren has a Napa wedding this will be used...along with the burlap tablecloth.

Summer's Flowers...

I'm having a floral moment right now, and no bashful blooms, but strong, bold patterns. So imagine my delight when I saw this picture of Summer Thornton's super chic Lincoln Park office in the latest issue of CS Interiors.  The office features exposed brick walls with Designers Guild's bright, feminine Orangerie wallpaper.  Add in a stylish wicker chair and a chrome lamp and you have the perfect mix of pattern and texture.  I dream of one day decking out the walls, curtains and bedding in my guest room with an all-over floral print - it's granny chic, but I don't mind one bit.  Until then, I'm seriously tempted to bid on one of these floral still life paintings in today's Leslie Hindman Market Place auction....
