Sometimes you need a really big photo for a really big arrangement.
I'm developing a new, expensive camera hobby. With encouragement from my photographer friend Parker, I'm entering a phase most ladies enter in art school. So far it's been really nice shooting film, I'm looking through the lens with more intention and patience and I need those things desperately in my life. I used to think film was a bit unnecessary, but my reverse snobbery is fading. Anything that stretches and inspires is okay over here.
A grown man had to cradle this arrangement in his lap in the back of a cargo van to deliver it to Cipriani 42nd Street last week. I collaborated on a table for the Lenox Hill Gala with my favorite bride and friend Ashley Whittaker and this was our jawdropper. Jawdropper is a good noun. Let's start using it, but sparingly.
That is stunning! Love it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Dramatic. Rustic. Whimsical. Love it.
ReplyDeletegoing to cry from the sheer beauteousness, lady.
ReplyDeleteSpeechless...
ReplyDeleteA saucy festival of flowers. Like an offbeat countess.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've been interested in your photos from the start...what sort of camera are you using now? very lovely images...and composition.
ReplyDelete...Jawdropper describes this arrangement perfectly! :o)
ReplyDelete...Blessings
That is SUCH a beautiful arrangement!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours.
ReplyDeleteWow such gorgeous and lovely image of flower pot. Its very cool and beautiful flower. I like to use this thing as decoration at home. Its too fresh and best.
ReplyDeleteI can't stop looking at it. I want to project it onto my wall and never leave my room again. It must be what heaven looks like: I simply can't imagine anything more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJawdropper, indeed. I say we start using the word by draping it over the backs of chairs, splashing it up against the walls, and pouring it into champagne coupes.
ReplyDeleteit is really, absolutely, totally and completely jawdropping. i honestly dream of the day when i can ask for your floral assistance in something...(hopefully a wedding, but who knows!) :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I think Jawdropper is a great noun (to use sparingly) and totally applies here!
ReplyDeleteLooove the urn.
ReplyDeleteThis is insanely good.
ReplyDeletethis is just breathtakingly spectacular. it's so wonderfully dramatic. ahhh, melt...
ReplyDeleteGobsmacking!!!!!
ReplyDeleteit is a jawdropper-lush
ReplyDeleteJust one word...BEAUTIFUL!

How do you manage to do arrangements so eclectic, whimsical and beautiful at the same time!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!! I suscribe of course.Béa
ReplyDeleteThis arrangement seems pretty unafraid. Viburnum pom poms?
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I've been thinking of enrolling in a short floristry course for a while now, so I think I'll begin to use your blog as inspiration! Good luck with the film photography :) It's great fun - something else I need to get back into once I get my camera fixed! Rhi xx

all the other adjectives have been used, so i'll just say WOW. the arrangement is spectacular, and the photo, the LIGHTING is amazing. You have such talent!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely in love with these pictures. Not only are the flowers and the color tone perfect but the lighting as well. I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteYour photos make me want to be a florist! Would you take me on as an apprentice? (only half joking)
ReplyDeleteI've been curling up with my laptop and your blog like I would curl up with a good book. It's like spring cleaning for my brain.
ReplyDeleteYour florals make me hungry for spring. ~Deirdre
