Busy Hands- The Winter Flowers Workshop

We had a wonderful group in the studio for our Winter Flowers Workshop back in January! Focused on sustainable design principals using flowers that are locally available in the winter, each attendee made a gorgeous arrangement. The whole workshop was photographed by Sarah Carpenter, who did an amazing job. I really love how Sarah captured so many hands in action. Watching a person's hands as they create an arrangement is extremely beautiful. I have been fairly obsessed with the parallels between movement and floral design recently, and hands that are actively arranging are a direct crossover. Thank you so much Sarah for capturing so much of this movement in your images!

We are currently planning a couple of workshops for this fall and winter. If you would like to be added to our workshops list, please send an email to kelly@botaniqueflowers.com.

Elise and Alex in Pioneer Square

Gorgeous couple, gorgeous setting, gorgeous day... Elise and Alex had a such a beautiful wedding! It was one of those perfect Seattle summer days (sunny, but not too hot) and they wed under a canopy of trees in Pioneer Square. So picturesque! Their reception followed at AXIS, where we decked the walls floor to ceiling in vines. It was romantic and magical!

Lora Grady captured everything perfectly, as you will see in the following images.

Congrats Elise and Alex!
When your clients make these faces upon walking into their reception and seeing all the flowers and decor for the first time...  you know you have done something right! Thank you Elise and Alex for trusting us with your vision.
