Favorite Designs of 2019

Hi, Guys!  I know I keep saying that I need to move forward into 2020 but I wanted to publish one more post to remember 2019 one more time.  I had so much fun creating these designs that I wanted to share some of my favorites with you before I officially turn the page into the new year. So, please indulge me one more time :)




I started 2019 off with this ice sculpture.  I liked the effect of the blueberry juniper frozen in the ice.



Last January I found myself experimenting with these cute "puppy" centerpieces.  The theme for this first-year birthday party was puppies so off I went to create this little guy.




This created the pair for the top puppy centerpiece for the first-year birthday party.

I also played around with "little arrangements" last year.  This one was a twist for me for Valentine's Day.  I thought some people might want to share a little arrangement with a friend or loved one just to give them a little hug for the holiday.


These little arrangements where made to look like cupcakes on a cupcake stand.  They were so fun to make!

I was obsessed with May Day Baskets last year.  Here are a few of my favorites~









These were some of the simple and sweet wrist corsages I made for the ladies of my garden club.



I also did these blue and green hydrangea and white rose centerpieces for a June bridal shower~

I had fun making this tablescape at the end of the summer.  The centerpiece reminded me of a fiesta!


Two of these arrangements flanked the fireplace at an intimate fall wedding in October.  I thought the pampas greens was phenomenal! 

This was a seasonal centerpiece for an outdoor fall event.



Corsages and Boutonnieres for a Christmas Wedding



I was inspired to make these two wreaths after leading my Holiday Wreath Workshop early in December.






Well, there you have it...some of my favorite designs of 2019.  Now I need to truly move onto 2020.  I have to take care of a few personal things that I put off all Christmas season this week but I hope to be back with you next week. See you then!
