Florals at Christmas Part II

arrangements: reubenvision

A mix of pinecones, roses, candles & evergreen boughs. Here are some shots of the centre pieces that will be making the trip to Grammy's. (I will be sure to replace the candle before I gift them ;)

Well I am off to get wrapping. We are doing Christmas as a family tomorrow before heading out of Province on the 25th. I am planning on one more post (Christmas Eve) before taking a little break for some holiday fun. 

Florals at Christmas (Preview)

Guests are soon to arrive for an night of carols & good festive cheer. Here is a little preview of one of the arrangements I made for the occasion. Hope you are enjoying this holiday season as well, this evening.

Cafe Christmas Decor Instillation

Well I had a very full and fulfilling day. I just love Christmas and had a blast decking the Cedar Tree Cafe in holiday cheer. I even got to try my hand at window decor (though my parents insist the red laurel motifs could use some berries to make them more festive). All of the greenery was collected courtesy in my neighbour the wonderful forest. Now all we need is some snow to set the mood.

Happy First of December! 

Autumn Arrangement DIY

photos & arrangement: reubenvision

A simple pairing of Dogwood & Snowberries. I found both occurring in the wild, but they are often grown in gardens & parks. They create a simple rustic, but fresh take on Autumn foliage and colours.

some lovely flora & fauna I found around my home.

The Silver dish is vintage & inherited from my great grandmother. 

Festival Flowers

 

       

This past weekend was the Harvest Jazz & Blues Music Festival. I was able to exhibit some of my flowers at a local eatery Ceder Tree Cafe which was a host spot for some great live music during the festivities. Here are some quick shots I snapped. The arrangements are 90% wild flowers & locally harvested apples. It was a lot of fun & I hope to do it again soon!  

Summer Hues + Blooms + Eats

Thought I would share the feast my great mother spread for me back at the beginning of the summer before I headed off on my adventures. I figured it would be a great time to put my then latest vase into use. I created a tall centre piece & trailed some vines in the water for an added effect. All of the flowers grow in local fields (three cheers for living in the countryside!)
