Bella Fiori
Bella Fiori designs flowers for weddings & events in Seattle, Everett & Mt. Vernon, Washington. www.bellafiori.com
Part of the fun of teaching seasonal floral design classes is selecting the color palette for each class. As I look around me, I see all the trees and shrubs are turning golden with pops of oranges .. it's so beautiful everywhere I look! Those surrounding colors are the inspiration for the color palette for the two classes this coming Saturday! Give me all the golden, creamy, mossy green, tips of orange textures!
Spaces are available in both classes for any last minute sign-ups! Join us for a morning class of creating an autumn compote styled arrangement and/or an afternoon class of designing a large and lush vase styled arrangement! All the details and registration can be found on the website fleurscreative.com

[Tulip bulbs provided by and grown in my cutting garden]
A little needed meditation provided by this sweet tulip.
January has been nothing less than exhausting, I've never had a year start off like this before.
Some good and fun news, the new studio is slowly coming along. (a little slower than I would have imagined, yet as to be expected these days). The studio space will have its own instagram - .creative - where I'll keep tabs of the workshops, classes and events I have planned. And as soon as the last glitch on the website finally gets smoothed over I will be posting the 3 day workshop I'm hosting in April with -- A few people have reached out to inquire about the dates of the workshop, it'll be held April 6-8 in Snohomish.
Ok .. back to work I go, I have some things to paint. Hope to be back on here soon with the registration link for the first workshop!
A sweet posy for a sweet bridesmaid!
Peaches, tangerine, and burgundy for this bridal bouquet, a beautiful color palette for a late summer or Autumn Wedding. This lovely bouquet was destined for a wedding at in Mount Vernon, Washington.
Happy Fall Y’all! Feeling the season with pumpkin bars baking and this rich display of dahlias on my kitchen island. 🍁

It has been awhile since I last introduced myself. Hi, I’m Alicia Schwede, and I’m a floral designer who lives for designing flowers for weddings and special events through my company Bella Fiori. Teaching my craft to flower enthusiasts is my other passion, workshops I’m hosting can be found on ⠀
My journey in this flower world began almost 20 years ago in California and Bella Fiori launched in Colorado in 2003. Since 2014 my husband and I have been living in Washington, where I grow a lot of dahlias and hellebores. One of these days I’m going to decide how I’d like to design my rose garden! ⠀
Thank you so much for stopping by my page! I hope you enjoy the floral designs you see here ⠀

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.⠀

I think I've been in love with the Cafe Au Lait dahlia for 10 years now. I heard recently that it is falling out of favor with floral designers - could that really be?? ⠀
I think it'll remain one of my favorites for many years to come, especially when it's paired with hops and garden roses...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀
Ribbon corsages with hellebores and fun textures. A fun option for the ladies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Katlin and her bridal bouquet. Texture, lots of texture - succulents, seed pods, pieris japonica, Juliet, and white polo roses with sedum and eucalyptus. A fun bouquet to make for a fun bride for sure!⠀⠀
