Tropicana Rose...

Hydrangea, Protea, Aypericum, Alastroemeria are the flowers that were included in last weekends wedding. 

 Designing wedding flowers is something I never get tired of doing.  Each wedding presents a new opportunity to use some of the most interesting flowers around and many of them are grown right here in the Willamette Valley.  The roses come from Peterkort Roses.  The local roses are similar to the South American roses, but they are more delicate in nature.  The stem is lighter and  are easier to work with when putting together corsages, and smaller hand-tied bouquets.

With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner my focus turns to holiday designing.  The front porch is already starting to look a bit festive with stacks and stashes of organic treasures!  I'll share more of that next week!  Have a good week!
