Flower Duet

Trying out a new rose variety from called 'Absolute in Pink.' We love it when our vendors trust us to test out new flowers! We teamed these gorgeous light pink roses fresh from the farm (which are opening absolutely beautifully) with butterfly Ranunculus and summertime ball dahlias from our lical TJs in a hand thrown gold ceramic vase. Thanks Jess!

We love when the flowers match the car on the track.

Celebrate your Mira Costa grad. They will be so glad! Don’t be slow, head over to GROW.

We had a fabulous day at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens teaching over 100 people in two separate classes how to make two different designs in a vase using three types of roses and other wonderful complementary flowers.

Our students were fabulous. We had a wonderful collection of people we've been teaching over the years and brand new people who came for the first time today.

It's always challenging in the best way because you keep us on our toes and make sure that we always bring you something new to learn and to admire. And thank you so much for your patronage and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Special thanks to Casey's son at photography for taking our photo and for helping out in the flower class setup and break down.

Flower Alert! Did you wonder which flower your favorite artist loves? June is African American Music Appreciation Month! Created by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, this month celebrates the African American musical influences that comprise an essential part of our nation's treasured cultural heritage.

Just caught the promo for Tiny Desk Concerts for June which will feature the theme: "Giving women their flowers.” After each Tiny Desk concert on NPR, the musicians will be given their favorite flowers in honor of their impact and legacy in music.

They are partnering with a local florist Kelanda Edwards of The Watering Can in D.C. (https://www.instagram.com/kiiiki) who will make the bouquets for the music artists. I can't wait to hear the music and see what Chaka Khan's favorite flowers are and of course, listen to the music!

Fabulous wedding from a few weeks ago with great photos captured by Hello Blue Photography!

https://flowerduet.com/real-wedding-flowers-rolling-hills-country-club-palos-verdes-peninsula/

Every wedding is unique and every wedding has its own mood. This wedding was a fun combination of terracotta pots, lots of greenery and plants, and white flowers. The bride had a touch of light blue delphinium in her bouquet. Every bridesmaid held a different set of flowers for her bouquet. One had just calla lilies. One had just roses. One had sweet peas and so on. With a beautiful bride in a gorgeous strapless dress and timeless bob haircut, and her bridesmaids in terracotta-colored dresses, the sunny Saturday afternoon celebration at Rolling Hills Country Club was a beautiful setting indeed.

Delighted to return to Sofi Stadium to teach another flower arranging workshop for Mother’s Day. Our 3rd annual visit with many of the participants returning each year and aIl becoming very skilled floral designers. Always a delight to return and teach them something new. When anybody performs at Sofi don’t you always hope for standing ovation… I got one, but then again everybody was standing up when they were finished their design. Happy Mother’s Day all.

Playing with vegetables as a kid….pushing them around the plate prepared us for this creation! So kids. Eat and play with your vegetables. Brought to us a few weeks ago by the amazing produce at the 99.

I’ve got sand in my eye I’ve got sand in my eye… The kind that doesn’t hurt, but heals the soul. Quicksand roses are absolutely beautiful. Prepping these to go into a garland today. Stopped us in our tracks as we were working at the studio. Stop and look at the roses and get sand in your eye.

You might think of Gold when you think 14 carats, my thoughts go to Orange when I think of 14 carrots.

Love when our flowers make the scene, all goes smoothly and is peachy keen.

When the flowers match the cover of the book, they make you take a second book look. 🙆‍♀️

Feeling like spring is just around the corner as we start the month of March. Bright centerpieces for A cooking with the chef activity at Rolling Hills country club.
