Crescent Arrangement

I'd like to think of this arrangement as a nice Mother's Day or Spring arrangement.

I love the colors. The flowers all look so bright and inviting, happy and very much in the pastels color scheme of Spring.

The Daffodils really make the arrangement.

I only notice them in the Springtime. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Flowers: Tulips, Daffodils, Myrtle, Ranunculus.

Garden Bouquet

This bouquet is quite lovely, if I do say so myself.

It is just a great array of greens, whites and cream colors.

It's a beautiful and complementary color scheme that makes this bouquet look effortless and contemporary.

This bouquet is not hand-tied. It was arranged on a Lomey bouquet holder with Oasis foam already in it.

The flowers used: Kale, White and Green Hydrangea, Hypericum berries, Star of Bethlehem, Green Button Mums, Green Dianthus and Lemon Leaf around the base.

It's funny to say that in this bouquet, not one Rose was used. Growing up, I used to love Roses and imagined all bouquets and arrangements had to have Roses in it. I know now that an arrangement can have almost any kind of flower and color and come out beautiful.

Hand Tied Bouquet

This is one of my favorite bouquets I have made.

I'm not lying, as you'll see as time goes on, that each bouquet or arrangement is beautiful in their own way. I shouldn't play favorites so I say they're all my favorites. Hah!

This was the first bouquet I have made taken this floral class, which was sometime in Fall 2011.

I took pics of how I have tied the bouquet, pinning the ribbon in 2 styles using boutonniere pearl pins.

The flowers used: Hydrangeas, Roses, Freesia and Lemon Leaf, as the base around the flowers.

Orchid Corsage and Boutonniere

I've been falling in love with orchids lately.

I love all the colors they display.

This set is simple, but it is so different! The white ribbon and the green Myrtle sets off the orchids' color quite nicely.

The flowers used: Cymbidium Orchids and Myrtle.

Floating Candle Centerpiece

Love this centerpiece!

Who doesn't love an arrangement with a floating candle to set off a mood of this winter whimsy.

If you haven't noticed already, most of my pics consist of the ones I've been making in my floral classes with Sarinya Villanueva, The Daily Petal. She is a wonderful teacher and likes to push my boundaries in floral art. As time goes on, I've noticed I need to relax more in making my arrangements. I'm getting comfortable as I see that it's still beautiful although my Type A personality is competing when it comes to trying to create with perfection. I'm starting to broaden my horizons in creating.

The flowers used for this creation: Dusty Miller, Spider Mums, Hydrangeas, Spray Roses, and Berzillia.

White feathers were interspersed in this arrangement giving it an ethereal, wispy, airy feel and to complement the Dusty Miller.

Wreath

Made a Wreath for the Holidays.

I strayed from the norm. Instead of a circular wreath, I made a square one.

I loved the Peacock feathers to tie in all the colors.

Floral used: Balsa Wood Flowers, Button Mums, Succulents, Deer Moss, Spanish Moss and Twine Balls.

Asymmetrical Centerpiece

This Asymmetrical Centerpiece is fall/winter themed.

This was such a pleasure to make.

The flowers used: China Mums, Star of Bethlehem, Dendrobium Orchids, 

Princess Pine and mixed Evergreens.

I loved adding the accents to make this centerpiece more festive with gold pinecones and glittered faux leaves.

The China Mums were so fluffy and soft like little pillows. I am beginning to appreciate every flower I've used and will be using in the future. 
I'm showing front and back of this centerpiece.

Pave Centerpiece

This lush centerpiece was held in a 6x6 cylinder vase.

The flowers used: Kale flowers, Rose, Hydrangea, Mini Daisies, Parsley.

A Ti leaf was used to wrap the inside of the vase to hide all the stems for a clean look.

Rose Corsage & Boutonniere

Simple, yet sophisticated Rose Corsage and Boutonniere.

This set consists of Jade Roses, Camellia leaves and Eucalyptus seeds as a filler.

I used two different types of ribbons to show the styles of a wrapped base on the Boutonniere and a wired ribbon for a fluffy bow on the Wrist Corsage.

If preferred, I can make the corsage either Pinned or Wristlet.

Tropical Arrangement

Made this tropical arrangement.

I have to say that this is one of my favorites out of all the ones I've made so far.

It makes me reminisce of my trips to Hawaii growing up and visiting my grandparents.

The Heleconia is such a strong flower that the Pittosporum, Ginger, Ti leaves, Birds of Paradise and woven palms can only support and accentuate it.

I feel proud to say that on being my first time to make this, it turned out beautiful than I expected.

Monochromatic Arrangement

This is a monochromatic arrangement of reds.

Flowers used: Dahlias, Roses, Tulips, Bear grass.

Truth be told, I had to wrestle with the bear grass. It was being stubborn with me and the placement of how I wanted them to go. 

I fell in love with the chocolate Dahlias though. The color looks so velvety on the petals, almost looking black in color, but not quite. They have that wine color with a hint of purple to it. So gorgeous!!

Pictures

I know that I am lagging on posting my pictures.

Sorry, guys!

I'm trying to get them all together and then pretty them up a bit to show you!

After this weekend, I should have them ready!

One Step

I just made a twitter name for myself!

The Beginning

Hi Everyone!

My name is Sheena-Rose, hence my title of this blog and a business I am pursuing.

I will be chronicling my journey into the florists' world. I have had experience in floral making, like making corsages, boutonnieres, wreathes and centerpieces since I was in high school.

I joined the FFA, Future Farmers of America, Fresno Chapter since 1999. Instead of learning how to care for animals, I chose to delve into horticulture also know as floriculture. I learned the basics of how to set up and arrange my floral into beautiful gifts for people to enjoy, which ended up turning into a little profitable side business for me through high school as I made arrangements for couples going to formals and proms. I have also competed in the FFA floriculture competition, going against other chapters in the Central California region.

I have also done a wedding with wedding bouquets, centerpieces and multitudes of corsages and boutonnieres for the wedding party, though I was a novice in 2005.

Presently, I am taking floral classes as a refresher course and to learn new styles of floral making.

Now that you know my floral history in a nutshell, I hope you will begin to enjoy the rest of my posts in the future as I will more than likely post pictures, instead of my endless talking.

I do hope you find this interesting!

Thank you!
