Mother's Day

After Valentines Day and Prom season, Mothers Day is one of the busiest days of the year for us floral designers.  It was my first year taking orders for Mother's Day and it was a good start.  Here are a few of the designs that I worked on:

One of the other Mother's Day events that I started attending last year was the Filoli Mother's Day Floral Show.  This year, the theme was "The Secret Garden, Discover the Magic".  I had classmates and friends showcasing their designs, and I brought my mother and my mother-in-law to explore the house and the gardens.  For anyone in the area next year, this is a fun event to attend and bring your mother to!  Here are a few of the designs that were on display:

The design below used square pieces of cardboard.  I thought it was very inventive and added an interesting texture and color to the design.

The design below was created by my good friend Brenda Bennet of Botanicals by Brenda

This table design was by Pico Soriano 

The next three pictures are from the students at College of San Mateo.

Hope you enjoyed the photo's as much as I enjoyed making and seeing them!  Happy belated Mother's Day to all my readers!
