Bridal Show

I was so happy to be a part of The Everything Bridal Show this year, which was hosted at the Hy-Vee Conference Center in West Des Moines.  A successful event and great exposure for Cold Porcelain Art!

 

I was looking forward to this event so this year I had some new and colorful creations like this exotic orange cymbidium orchid with lily of the valley cake topper.

 

Others were more unique like place card holders which can add some romanticism to your table décor but also can be used as a wedding favor.

I had a great time, not only setting up appointments while hearing love stories but also helping with new ideas on how to choose a luxury option like cold porcelain flowers that will bring memories of an eternal love!

What a romantic day I had!!!

Going International!

This summer has been very busy and fun for me, orders for weddings are -by far- what I have been working on the most. But a few weeks ago something new and exciting came with an order request... and that was for the flowers to be shipped to Australia!!!

So YES, it is now official, Cold Porcelain Art is now international! J

You see, when I started this blog, my first posting titled “Blogging World… Here I come!” talked about how I never imagined being blogging. Well, after just over a year, and incorporating Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Etsy into the mix, you can probably understand why I consider this to be a milestone. Online “global reach” has a new and real meaning to me!

This client’s request was to create red and pink poppies, green hydrangeas, white gardenias and white dogwood flowers. I had so much fun creating them, specially the red/black contrast obtained with the poppies, definitely an eye catcher! Here is a picture of the red poppy and white gardenias.

New Listings on Etsy: Miniatures and Teapots

I just recently added new listings to my Etsy Shop with Miniatures and Teapots. One of my customers loved the flower arrangements teapots and asked me to make a mini arrangement for favors. So I create a set of miniatures for her party and later she order one teapot for a co-worker.

The vases are also unique, handcrafted and hand-painted by Bolivian artisans. Here are the pictures:

I really enjoy making miniatures and Teapots. Take a look at my Etsy Shop.

Orchids and more Orchids!

One of my clients contacted me to see if I could create a single green orchid to put on a place card for a 16th birthday party. So I created green cymbidium orchid with hints of pale light green in the center petals and with a pink color highlighting the edges. The throat has pink dots on sides’ scallops and lines on the middle scallop. She really liked so she ordered 6 more.  

 Another order I enjoyed creating was a cake topper a lady requested for a wedding. The cake topper flower arrangement consists of 2 white orchids with a magenta throat (with hints of pale light green).

This is the cake topper arrangement with white Stephanotis flowers painted with hints of yellow in the middle. My best wishes to the newlyweds!
