An Inspired Bouquet: A How To Video

Eliza Barrera made my flowers look even more gorgeous in this video. Seeing the flowers in movement, showing their graceful life just makes me happy…it’s a fiesta of the eyes.

Ok-now for the juicy stuff. Once I receive my shipment of flowers from Lindsay at Mayesh I process each flower and gather all the like stems into water. I then pull the most beautiful of each species for the making of the bouquet and set them aside. For this particular bouquet I worked with coral charm peonies, apricot tulips (my personal favorite), dark purple tulips, incredible deep purple fritillaria, blooming jasmine, ferns and a few little garden roses thrown in for good measure and beauty.  I love making bouquets (or bokays as we florists like to call them) -they each have their own life, their own meaning, and their own movement as the recipient holds them and carries them.

A happy life with a perfect love will be filled with magic and good luck is what this bokay can be translated to, all wrapped up in a blush velvet bow.
