Last Christmas Arrangement for 2010

I had a family ask for some christmas day flowers that consisted of red roses with anything green so I thought i'd use the green tricks again. They also wanted some chrismassy sprigs for the girls to wear and a large wreath. Here are the photos:

This was for a small hotel reception... thought I'd do something Christmassy with Red Celosia, Green Tricks, and Bark. Apparently it was a big hit - I think its the interesting Tricks which only seems to be around in the warmer weather.

Christmas Wreath

Made a 25cm willow wreath and added fairy lights, doda vine, and succulents. I soaked the willow branches in water for about 5-10 mins which softened it enough to bend into shape:

Would love to here what decorations you are using for Christmas this year. Don't be shy, write a comment!

It's Christmas!

I have now made my christmas tree... I have ceramic and cane decorations with a few warm fairy lights. Also bought a log and decorated it with orchids and vines... plus put a few candles in the middle... I love it so much I can't stop looking at it. Next year will need to be a real tree I think. We have a bub on the way and I can't disappoint the little fella... maybe he will like my pseudo trees:

Got a few chrissy clients so i'll post the final products when they're done!



Christmas Wreaths

Since we didn't have a christmas tree this year I made wreaths out of dodda vine, strung battery pack fairy lights through a few and suspended them from the ceiling with hubbies fishing wire. I used clear mini 3M hooks on the ceiling. BTW its March and they are still hanging... minus the lily of cause (which was sitting in a vile of water)
