Sumptuous Colors with Olivier Guigni





On June 4th, 2009, we played with peonies courtesy of Olivier Guigni of L'Olivier Floral Atelier. The colors were nothing less than astonishing as each student picked among the fuschia, pale pink and cream flowers and created a pave (or a brick shaped arrangement) in a glass container lined with leaves. Olivier always brings drama to his classes as well as a touch of whimsey -- that touch can be seen in the grasses that were added to some of the arrangements.

Orchid Bridal Bouquet



These are orchid bridal bouquets that our students have created in class IV of our Introductory Series. They are all hand-wired and they take a lot of time to put together, but the result is quite spectacular! By the end of the class everyone's hands hurt -- a small price for such rare beauty.
