Tre Chic of the Week: Chocolate & Marigold Pallet

I'm closing out the week with a color that use to make me cringe, marigold. But these two amazing creations by Amorology is making me rethink this color. Not sure if I'm just tired, but I'm loving these even more styled against the leather brown chair. I feel like I need to pour myself a glass of great scotch like Lagavulin and walk down the aisle with these fab fleurs. Doesnt scotch and these bouquets pair well together!

Those Brits Know It All

These vases from LSA International are making me want to max my credit cards. I'm loving the opague vases right now; and yes dont kill me because; I love black the most. But seriously these vases have a clean simple shape and the right perportions; which is always key in great flower arranging. But get ready to pay ero pricing because these bad asses are in the U.K

Le Fleuriste: Sandra De Ovando

Today I'm adding Mexican designer Sandra De Ovando to my list of Le Fleuriste. She has a love of bold colors. Her arrangements are elegant and artsy.When you count Armani, Gucci, Hermes, and the Gansevoort and W hotels as clients, you know you’re in a special class of haute-floral design. Working with flowers since her childhood in Mexico, Sandra De Ovando has grown her NYC West Village floral boutique, Ovando, into a work of art that has attracted a clientele that reads as a who's who of the fashion industry. Her arrangements start at $150. I'm truly lusting over the arrangement second to the bottom. A lush arrangemet of Gloriousa Lilys, and Red Peonies. Just a little side note about peonies, they are one of my favorite fleur due to their every-changing form.

Design on a Dime

I'm loving this economy conscious table arrangement. Using the ever so inexpensive Carnation. ($2.00 a stem retail) While Carnations clustered together by the same color has been a trend for a while. The fade of a color group is something that you will start to see a lot more of in 2010. I will for sure post more color fades soon!!

I Dream of Style

So I was walking the streets of North Beach, SF; minding my own business when I stumbled upon this window display of amazing handbags. No these are not the latest Fall handbags from Hermes, Gucci or Balenciaga. These are actually cakes. Yes ladies those are cakes; from fab cake designer Shinmin Li owner of I dream of cake
While this blog is about fab fleurs; it is called Le Fleur Couture; and couture is what these cakes are all about. I mean how could I resist! Seriously check out her website she does some amazing things!!!

Grand Chocolat

Well I've waited, and waited, and waited; for the time I could put something dark and yummy on my blog. Well wait no further; it's chocolate cosmo season and I'm in love. The dark gorgious cosmo melts my heart. But when I go down deep and smell the scent of the cosmo; it takes my lust for flowers into a different universe. If you ladies think that your floral arranging can get by through fall without these sinfull items; than think again. I really am on the brink of wanting to open a floral studio that is full of dark morbid flowers. And you know what? I think there is a market for it. Enjoy the above; but more dark fleurs are on their way!
