Dear

This week’s inspiration is all around.

I was interviewed by Alicia Schwede and featured on the floral art blog Flirty Fleurs as Fabulous Florist. Alicia is a well-known American florist designing beautiful floral details in Denver, Colorado. You can visit her blog Bella Fiori

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine

Ps: Don’t forget to vote for the design; I would love to hear what you think!

Trend Alert

The latest trend in fashion shows is not shown on the runway nor worn by the models. It is large and elaborate fresh floral design. In the Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2013 show 5 rooms, each in a different colour, were transformed with wall to ceiling tapestries of white orchids, red roses, blue delphiniums, yellow goldenrod's, and for the "Christian Dior" room pink roses and mixed garden flowers- a million buds in total! Here is a behind the scenes peak of how the designers accomplished this

Another example is Michael Michalsky who commissioned floral skulls (using 5600 chrysanthemums) for his show at Style night Berlin

 

Taking its cue from the wildflower meadow around the Olympic stadium in London, loosely designed garden or wild flowers and grasses are right on trend
