More Internship Pictures

Here are a few more pictures of work that I've done while on my internship at The Floral Shoppe.

An easel funeral spray. The family wanted the spray to be woodsy so in addition to the flowers I added pine cones and used evergreen foliage.

Classic dozen roses design with Monte casino filler.

Here is a half dozen roses, wrapped with solidago and leather leaf.

This everyday design was for a birthday. I think any girl would appreciate something like this from the man she loves.

This design was for a walk-in customer that wanted something cheery to take to her adult daughter for her birthday.

A funeral design. I really loved working with all the warm fall colors throughout the seasons.

This was for a funeral. The customer wanted something long and low, so that the family of the deceased could take the design home and display it on a table. It was also made in a metal basket, that the family could keep it as a memento.

An all-around everyday design, one of the first that got designed to be in the cooler ready to go for a walk-in customer to walk-out with.

This was for a funeral, it was a small open heart, but it took so long to get all the babys breath done. I think the pink splash of color was magnificent.

A close up of the color.

These last few pictures were taken with the camera on my phone, so the quality is obviously not as crisp as my digital SLR.

This funeral spray I had to be creative with because we only had three gladiolus in the cooler, but by cutting it apart I made it look like six.

This centerpiece was for thanksgiving dinner at a children's table. I loved using the large rovers in my thanksgiving designs.

This cornucopia had a dozen terra cotta roses with fall mums and tinted eucalyptus and solidago. Thanksgiving designs were some of my favorites because of the rich colors I got to use.

The Floral Shoppe-Everyday Designs

I made this cute arrangement for a birthday on August 11th. The customer wanted the color red in the design, which inspired me to use a red glass cube vase and the bright red gerbera daisies. The yellow kangaroo paw filler gave the arrangement an extra kick of color and fun.

Office Arrangement

Today in Flower Center I had the privilege of making an office arrangement for one of the Horticulture Professors. I started out with a simple basket, added a liner, oasis, and then created line with the Liatris, a focal point with the Mums, and connected them with the Iris and Heather. I thought it was pretty dang cute.

Small Special Occasion Arrangements

In Flower Center this week we have been researching special occasions, and creating arrangements for them.
This is my shot at an arrangement appropriate for a baby boy, for example.

And this cute little thing would be appropriate for the welcoming of a baby girl.

This is the same arrangement, only without the foliage. Interesting how something so simple can change the entire design.
