Floral Design class update

This past week in floral design class, we created an asymmetrical arrangement using carnations, daisies, larkspur, statice, ming fern and myrtle. It was supposed to be a slight "L" shape and although I thought my arrangement was looking like it was supposed to, I look at the photos and it doesn't really look asymmetrical to me. It may be because I took these photos a few days after I made the arrangement and some of the flowers actually changed their facing direction.
Either way, I really enjoyed this week in floral class! I feel like I'm beginning to be more comfortable with placing flowers in floral foam and using up its surface area wisely. I loved working with the different textures and colors of the flowers and foliage as well! They really welcomed the first day of Spring (which is the day we created this design).
When I was done, I gave this arrangement to my mother in law to celebrate her "birth week." She had a few different events throughout the week for her birthday so the day we went roller skating, I surprised her with this. :)

How have you welcomed Spring? 

Spring Events {Table Decor}

I am so excited to welcome spring! I love the pretty colors it brings along with soft rays of sunshine and blooming flowers. I can't wait to put some ideas into action for a few events!
Here is a bit of inspiration for your lovely spring dates.

Peaches are soo pretty as decor! I swoon over peach details. :)

A single rose with babys breath adds such a feminine touch to any place setting. That fabric is gorgeous too!

I love how the tulips are placed in this arrangement. They are so care free and create a playful elegant setting. This color combo has got to be my favorite as well!

A brunch in the orchards? Yes please!!

I have never really liked tall centerpieces because it's hard to interact with others on the opposite side of the table but with a beautiful airy blossom branch, it still allows everyone to communicate amongst each other. Not to mention, it's very pretty as well!

This branch chandelier is GORGEOUS! Enough said.

Do you have any upcoming events this season? If so, what ideas and color palettes are you incorporating?

Self Portrait Saturday + Mani Monday...ummm I don't know what day it is!

Today is Self Portrait Saturday & originally, I wasn't going to even post today seeing how I have LOTS to do but somehow in the middle of studying, I found myself painting my nails and then posing with a teacup... YES! A darn teacup! ::sigh:: I DON'T KNOW!   Anywho, here it is, my self portraits for the day & my "Mani Monday"...a little early. :)

  Dana from Wonder Forest said that there was no theme for today's post but if we wanted to do "something white" for the theme, well then it was our choice...hence a WHITE tea cup! {GENIUS--I know!} ::total sarcasm::    


I used "Feeling Great" by SinfulColors Professional nail polish
and added some pretty spring fabric to my "ring fingers."
It's very "cheery" I must say :)


That's all for today! Don't forget to link up and join the fun.       {Have a BEAUTIFUL day!}
