Eclectic Essentials

We are trying out a new little venture and I hope that it is welcomed with open arms. In Cincinnati, there are few places that you can reach out to rent "unique items". This year we a thrilled to start out a rental service of antique or specialty items if you must give it a title. From milk glass and hobnail containers to 1970's Pepsi Machine (yes you heard me right), these items will for sure give your event the personal touch that is the rave these days. Once we get more photos of the items, there will be a "Eclectic Essentials" tab for you to view these one of a kind rentals. I love to provide my clients with a fresh approach to different and fun products. If this venture grows, so will the items.

Emily and Chris are Hitched!!!

Emily was an "on it" Bride. It was a perfect mix of feminine flowers with a masculine touch. Bright green, black and white were the colors for the day and it turned out beautiful. Thanks Emily for including me on such an important day. You were great to work with! Beautiful photography made possible by Patrick Banfield Photography.

A Very Un-Birthday Party!

So of course we are not only flowers here at Marti's Floral Designs. Basically overall event design sums up the bill. Any event from weddings to children's parties, we have it covered! Point in case Charlotte's little Alice in Wonderland Tea Party. The pictures beautifully describe the magical party. Studio N Photography once again outdid themselves with the fantastic photos.

Cincinnati Flower Show 2010~ Three Little Piggies

So this year's inspiration for The Cincinnati Flower Show was children's fairy tales. I choose The Three Little Pigs. Yes everything in here is flowers or dried naturals, even down to the little piggies. Moss, Sumac, Waxflower, Mini Daisies, Various Greens, Succulents and King Protea to name a few are what were used to create this magical setting. We were one of the few to receive GOLD medal scoring which is always fabulous! Make sure you get out to the Cincinnati Flower Show to check it out!! Oh and of course a little photo love to JMM Photography. Fabulous as always...

Flowers Frolic in the Snow

So I have joined the ever so lovely Jacalyn, JMM Photography, at her consultation space in Newport. As if sharing a space with her was not great enough, she did a little impromptu flower photo shoot today. As you can see, it was completely amazing. The snow and icicles provided a great addition to the photos that left me pretty much in awe of Jacalyn's work. Thanks Jacalyn!!!!

Bee is for Baby Shower Storyboard

I am getting to that age where it seems that a lot of my friends are starting to make their garden grow. I have had this idea for a bee inspired baby shower for a few months, thanks to those with babies on the brain. Well this is what your party may look like! So I will have to post the pictures when the inspiration becomes a reality. I am already excited to see it in pictures!

This weeks Inspiration Board~ "Purple Romance"

During this busy booking season, I have already been inspired by many stylish clients. I love when clients give me a little more creative elbow room. I absolutely love when people step outside of the box. Different textures and colors always stand out. Sometimes the cheapest detail can be the most eye catching. Over the next couple of weeks I am going to do some inspiration boards for some of my favorite color combos mixed in with some fun detailing. Hope you enjoy!
