Flower Shoes

Can’t get enough shoes? Budget busted by endless purchases of Jimmy Choo’s, Manolo Blahnik’s and Louboutin’s? These little beauties were created for a ladies brunch with a shoe theme, and we think they’re great, although not very practical for wearing out.

This shoe was created by first packing a wire frame with moss, then building on top of the base. The heel is made of yellow button mums, and the rest of the shoe is covered in individual overlapping Mokarra orchid petals, glued on one by one. A tiny piping of mums  outlines the upper.

The shoebox is made of leaves, flowers and ribbon.

This next shoe was made with overlapping layers of silvery Lambs Ear, with fuschia Phaelanopsis orchid blossoms for the heel and toe. It also has a delicate piping of mums outlining the upper.

The shoebox is made of mums with a lid of moss.

New Year’s Razzle Dazzle

New Year’s Eve is our final chance to say goodbye to the old year and ring in the new, and what better way than to throw a party!

This year we worked with Debbie and her team at Hold The Date Events to create a wonderful “Razzle Dazzle” theme complete with zillions of crystals, ostrich feathers and mirrored disco balls.

For the centerpieces, we created a wreath of white roses embedded with crystal and silver sprays along with pure white Ostrich feathers to hug the perimeter of rotating disco balls  – reflections from the overhead spotlights was scattered all around the room, creating a great light show.

The buffet pieces were fun and fabulous, with long Ostrich feathers and fabric covered vases.

We used more fabric treatments for the tall cylinders that lined the red carpet entry to the party; vignettes of varying height vases were accented with crystal trims and lots of razzle dazzle accents and had tall silver pillar candles inside.
