How Red?...Tulip Red!

Spring is here! And I cannot feel more inspired by just seing all the beautiful colors of the blooming flowers, feeling the spring breeze and enjoying a beautiful sunny and warm day! Spring is one of my favorite seasons! I think after a long and white winter you really appreciate more the colors of Spring.

So, last week while doing some shopping at the grocery store, some beautiful red tulips caught my attention. The color was so vivid that inspired me to create the same flower. Back home, I started dying my cold porcelain paste, and after various attempts (really various!) I achieved the same vivid red of the tulip I saw :) (hooray for me!). For the ones you are not familiarized on dying cold porcelain, there are some colors (like browns and reds) that are hard to achieve.
Also I made some white tulips with red hints. Here are the pictures of my cold porcelain tulips:

Did you know that tulips have different meanings like love, purity, innocence but also symbolize a new beginning? Tulips will add a lot of meaning to your wedding and if you are looking for a special gift, tulips will be a great way to express admiration and love.

Can I buy single flowers?

Of course!!!! This past week I've been working on a custom order for a very nice client. She asked me if she could buy single flowers. She needed two miniature hydrangeas and a single pink flower.

Knowing the dimensions and colors I can create almost anything :) So I started working on the 2 inches mini flowers. I made a white one and a pink one with yellow hints, they looked lovely!
Creating mini flowers take a lot of patience and detail, but the finished flower is a stunning piece of art!

These will look great in a small vase. Now the flowers are on her way! :)

Wedding Bouquets and Peony Cake Topper

A had a very exciting and productive week! I've been working on wedding bouquets and a cake topper for a wedding.
My cold porcelain flowers bouquets are a favorite among brides who love to keep their bouquet as a keepsake and I can not agree more! It will bring beautiful memories of her special day for life!! Another reason why brides choose cold porcelain bouquets is that brides love flowers that are off season or can not be found locally. With cold porcelain is easy to create any flower in any color, shape and size. Here are some of my cold porcelain bouquets:

The cake topper that I've been working on is a beautiful peony with dogwood flowers around it and cherry blossoms. This cake topper was a favorite for the brides-to-be at one of the Bridal Shows I participated. Well, one of the brides contacted me to recreate the same cake topper for her wedding this coming April. She requested the same size with extra peonies for side decorations.

 

After creating my bouquets and shipped the cake topper I uploaded new listings on my Etsy Store What a busy, busy week! And now, ready for Spring!!!

New Listing on Etsy: Succulents

Have you ever noticed how beautiful a Succulent is? Succulents are also called organic beauties and they are becoming more and more popular not only for weddings but also for decorations like centerpieces.
So recently I met a baker and she asked me to create some succulent flowers to decorate a cake she has planned to put on a window on her shop. So I stopped at my local floral store and saw a variety of them, but there was one in particular that stunned me! I came home and started to work on my first succulent flower. To be honest, the first one did not look like a succulent at all! So the second try came out better, working more on the edges and then finishing with a touch of color. Here are the pictures:
