Amy from Botanical Brouhaha has created a blog full of inspiration, love and endless floral amazingness. Scrolling through her blog every morning is combined with my coffee as one of the most regular things in life. I love her passion for flowers and have found endless inspiration from her sweet blog. Today in my daily scroll I came across one of my designs!!! Eek... I paused and was immediately happy and reminded how grateful I am for other flower lovers.
Here's the image she posted.
I very frequently get asked: What's your favorite flower? Here is my top 5, and reasons they each have a place in my heart.
Not technically one flower as there are many blooming branches, but on my! These bad boys are just a mystical and romantic flower. Combining the masculinity of the wood element of a branch and the soft and feminine element of the bloom, the blooming brach has the best of both worlds. A little tricky to use in bouquets, but can be used in all different sized arrangements and particularly by themselves in a large vase is my fav. Pictured bellow is a flowering Quince branch.
I recently fell in love with the parrot tulip, if you don't know her give her a quick Pinterest search, you will be happy you did. But all her sisters and brothers, the California tulip, French Tulip, feathered tulips and a many large variety of other tulips are just as divine. A favor them alone in a vase or in larger arrangements to give a soft hanging feel.
Oh this guy. She's had a bit of a comeback in the past couple years after some high-end floral designers decided to bring them back. Thank God! With dozens of varieties and sizes, from spray roses to full size blooms the garden rose is a British classic. Romantic, soft, and a year around pleasure. Perfect in a bouquet or a centerpiece this guy is a keeper.
This delicate gem is truly like no other. The variety of such soft billowy colors and sharp bright ones is something of the likes of a Dutch Master's painting. Completely out of this world. I love to work with these in bride's bouquets and smaller intimate table arrangements as their dainty size can unfortunately get lost in larger arrangements. Available all year around
This insane flower is just as beautiful as it gets. The fragrance, the petal count and the variety of colors is why this one wins the #1 place. It has such a gorgeous metamorphosis from a tall ball the size of a large marble to a full bloom in the size of a grapefruit, it truly is one of natures true beauties. Only down side, it's only available two times a year, November-December & May-June. (Sometimes if the season has been amazing those dates extend to other months)
We are getting ready for our next couple floral design workshops and couldn't be more excited at all the incoming requests and interest. Thank you!! We had a blast at your last one and are thrilled to continue offering these classes to our fellow flower lovers.
Please email us with any suggestions or requests as we would love to cater any classes to our guests desires. Special thanks to Sugar and Cloth for hosting our first floral design class and to Relish Wilmot Photography for the amazing shots, seen bellow.
Isn't this rockin'? This is a polaroid shot of a recent photo shoot we got a chance to do with the creative Kathleen Akers of Beau-Tied Events.
There are so many good things happening over here at Maxit. But first let's get to the most important... we are finally pulling the trigger in planning our next series of floral workshops! We have received so many requests and feel so honored that this is happening. Eek!! Thank you guys. :-)
So please stay tuned and to all our social media outlets and we will keep you updated. Some spoilers... we are looking to do a Friendtines (Friend-Valentines), Mothers day and Summer workshops.
But first, this past weekend we were honored to help take part in a good friend's workshop. Kristara is the founder and creator at Kristara, A Houston Calligraphy Studio.
