I’m always searching for a styled shoot location and Castle Hall in Detroit is one venue that stood out to me. The place has big windows, a unique location, and literally looks like a castle. Therefore, I couldn’t wait to yet again do flower design in Detroit. 2019 Color of the Year - Coral This was the second styled shoot that Kelle and I worked on together, which was a great opportunity to see if we’d be a good fit. Kelle was interested in using bright wedding colors so we agreed on bold and bright. After all, colors like that will make a statement. We decided on the 2019 Pantone color, living coral. Kelle designed a flower wall that included ombre rose colors. The colors transitioned from dark red to light ...
Styled Shoots
Styled Collaboration – Holly Vault
Holly Chapel I remember seeing a bridal show hosted at the Holly Vault and being enthused with the Chapel. After they finished their renovations and opened up the venue to 2019 brides, my creative juices started flowing. By now, you know that I enjoy styled shoots, so I couldn’t help but jump on the opportunity. I contacted my partner Kelle and photographer Ilze to do a tour in February and fell in love with the venue. Before I left, I’d already come up with a color scheme for floral design in Holly! The Color Scheme I really like blue, so it was only right that the color was somehow incorporated into the styled shoot. My refreshed branding color scheme, like my logo, follows a blue theme. Therefore, I thought it was a great ...
Styled Collaboration – The Barn in Clarkston
FINALLY I'm writing about this shoot, almost a year later. I’ve participated in a few styled photoshoots in 2018, some organized by me and others by someone else. However, they weren’t big enough for me and weren’t really making the impact I would have liked. I wanted something large and spectacular, something to challenge myself with. Then I Found The Barn in Clarkston When I met Leanna at a business meeting, I was immediately in love with her barn. She purchased the barn back in 2017 and was doing all the renovations herself. Leanna’s end goal was to make it a historical place where locals could hold farmer’s markets and wedding ceremonies. She was very excited when I shared my idea of my very first, big, ...
Styled Collaboration – The Treasury at Pontiac
There are just some things I countdown the days till I can post because I just can’t wait to share with you guys, and these photos are one of them. I took the amazing opportunity to organize and style a photoshoot at The Treasury in Pontiac. This venue is absolutely exquisite, and when I saw an ad about The Treasury getting booked for 2019 with an opening in April 2019 due to renovation and new ownership, I jumped on the chance. With an appointment, I was able to tour the venue with the amazing Ilze Lucero to get her opinion on the color theme we were going after. Deciding on the Color Scheme When I tell you that we were both simply floored with the detailing of the venue. If I had to choose one word for it I’d say exquisite. The ...
Styled Collaboration – Hines Park
If you haven't noticed already, I really love participating in styled collaborations in Metro Detroit! Styled collaborations are always fun and they give you the opportunity to work with other amazing wedding vendors. I recently had a chance to organize and plan my own styled shoot and it turned out wonderful. Read on and check out the photos to get an idea of exactly how it went for your Detroit wedding florist. If You Can't Stand The Heat, Then Get Out The Kitchen After a long and cold winter in Michigan, we finally had gotten some hot weather...and I mean really hot. The day I set-up the styled collaboration was 90 degrees and humid, but we still made it happen. We felt like we were literally melting under the sun, but you fortunately ...
Styled Collaboration – Fisher Building Detroit
When you think of the color champagne, what do you associate it with? Maybe it brings to mind happiness and joy. Or maybe you think of the bubbly, sparkling wine that is sipped during joyous occasions. We associate the color champagne with luxury and class. It's simply one of those colors that just doesn't go out of style no matter what time of year it is. The Champagne Themed Styled Collaboration During the second styled collaboration, we had the opportunity to work with this yellowish-orange, and almost beige color. I was so excited when Christine called upon me for collaboration and couldn't pass up on the opportunity. It turned out to be a very fun shoot at the Fisher Building in Metro Detroit. The gold interior complemented the ...
Styled Collaboration – Packard Proving Grounds
Recently, I had the pleasure of being a part of a styled collaboration and it was absolutely phenomenal! For those that don't know, styled collaborations are a group of vendors that come together to produce a unique mock wedding. You may also see styled collaborations for other events, such as bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties and more. It gives us vendors the opportunity to showcase our talents and express our creativity in a new way. They're pretty labor intensive, but absolutely worth it! Styled Collaboration With Your Metro Detroit Florist I was beyond thrilled when Mark Kelly from Mark Kelly Photography reached out to me about participating in a styled collaboration. Mark and I had done a wedding together back in ...
