Gotham Gardens

I know the holidays are here; and my opportunity to post dark and unusual things should have fallen in my October post. But me simply being; well me Gina. I must bring to your attention this dark yet chic arrangement by Gotham Gardens in NYC. I'm always in love with gray brazila and the white ranunculas; it's a play on morbid and organic chic. I hope you enjoy. And trust me more true holiday colors are on the way. I just love all things dark!

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!

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.
