A Year Of Bouquets

I have seen on many of my designer friends blogs they are posting their bouquets from the year. I to will follow! Here are just a few of the wonderful bouquets I designed for my 2009 brides. It has been 6 years since I left my job, kicked myself in gear and starting living the dream. To all my gorgeous brides and grooms who trusted in me to create your flowers - Thank You! To my awesome husband who never complain (well to much) about me using his truck for deliveries or my meeting out of town brides on a whim. all the hours I spend in "his space" he spends his Saturdays watching our kids listening to me complain about flower related stuff. letting me stay home to be with our children. I am so grateful to the new friends I have made so many of us work from home and are able to meet and share our ideas with each other. What a talented and thoughtful bunch. I find you all so inspiring. To the awesome Missy P. who help me this summer, without you I could not have done so well. . Here is to a bright new 2010 and all it has in store for Park Place Design

See You In 2010~

Fall Photos

I love it when my brides tell me their wedding photos are on line! My bride Nicole was a late September bride. Simple fall colors and flowers for her wedding. Here are a couple of her on her wedding day. I just love this photo of her and the groom...

Recap 2009

I had a wonderful year my flower business grew so much in 2009. I had fun, trendy brides that let me do my thing with their designs from feathers, to wheat grass's, orchid's, you name it they wanted it. Thank you my wonderful clients for making Park Place Design the areas most asked for wedding design company in the area. ~Tracy

My most asked for table arrangment in 2009

for 2009 Pomanders are my best sellers by far. I sells 100's of them to my brides they are fun, cute and very useful. Hang them on chairs, then use them as center pieces in the hall sitting on tall glass vases. Most Carnation pomanders stat at 38.00 and can run into 85.00 each depending on the flowers used but if your using in 2 spots it's a GREAT value. Next are my Manzanita Trees, fresh flowers, hanging crystals and lighted votives! oh what a fun way to add to your decor. My tress start at 85.00 and can run into 150.00 depending on the flowers used.
Next my tall arrangement's with willow are FUN!!! they can be used any time of the year. These start with the rented vases at 65.00.. I hope that this gives bride a since of prices and style when choosing styles for your wedding day...



















These photo's are of my own work.

September 2009

What a great view of the lodge, sadly to say this will probably be the last one I do for a long time. It will close the end of this month do to the hardships and the economic times What a great photo I am so lucky to have it. so picture perfect.
The bridal bouquet was to die for Plumb callas, monkey tail, plumb lily's, green berries, and white orchids Vanda orchids lily grass. I used plum ti leaves just the right touch for such a great design.

More pro Photos

This was a nice September wedding at brook Lodge Camile was a bride I only seen one time. Her mother booked me. The photos are amazing.

The bride had many great flowers in all the bouquets, Monkey tail, voodoo roses, billy balls, green berries, orchids, safari sunset,pincushion protea's. Very much an earthy look to the wedding.

Pro Shot's

Most of my bride can tell I LOVE earthy things moss, river rocks,sticks, wheat grass to name a few. This wedding was one of those that filled my dream~


I Love the earthy look Jessica wanted for her wedding~ look at all the texture I used in her bouquet. Stunning....The table pieces were glasses filled with loose blooms.

I have posted my photos from this wedding back in Aug. at Yarrow. But today I received the pro photos! I just love theses. The Wheat grass is amazing. All of them are amazing. Thanks T.J

My designer friends

My friend Janet from floral verde Made this amazing "G" monogram for a wedding she designed in Oct. I absolutely LOVE it.. I love the rustic charm it has. This is a wonderful warm way to greet your guest used for the doors of the church or hanging from hooks. Janet this is sooooo cute.

Cakes

If your thinking of giving Park Place Design a call for your 2010 wedding you probably should do it soon! My 2010 calender is booking up fast~ fun smart brides are getting on the books so they will not be disappointed in a couple of month when their date is gone. Please contact us soon....







Next is this awesome bouquet I made of black and white~ I just love Anemone it's a great flower to work with, but it is also seasonal. this beauty is made of permanent floral's










I think the new and trendy cake stands are awesome ! I really wanted to get into the mix and have something fun and trendy for my brides to see on display and be able to rent from me... I made this "faux" cake to display in my stuido but really it's for the glass you can change up the colors add flowers to the insides of the glass. See how it's liffted up and the clear glass can display so many flowers? I have a bird nest and vines in this display because I am into little birds. All diffident ways to add a special touch to your cake display. Give it a try~

Fun, Bright, Trendy Flowers!

Here are some new photos I received from one of my June brides~ I just love the way the photographer captured my flowers. This was a very simple outside wedding in fact is was going to rain all day and when I left the site the sun was shining.

Cute details

I was so glad I got to make theses cute little "belly Bar" arrangement's they really set the table's off.I love using wheat grass. I also feed it to our pet bunny!! The guest card table was really pretty too. I love green dendros, and willow
The maids dress's were a pretty shade of brown, it's really funny I did a wedding one year ago almost to the date with the same dress's and the same fall flowers.
