After much work, stress, and a little sweat…Erik has successfully passed his PFDE (Professional Floral Design Evaluation) and has been invited to join AIFD. Next July, he will be inducted into this prestigious group in San Franscisco. His next adventure will allow him to stay aware of all the new trends and techniques that make Flowers Washougal, what we are…Extraordinary!

PFDE Testing for AIFD

Over 100 people tested to become members into AIFD this year. Erik is one of many that passed his testing and will invited to join AIFD next summer! Here are some of the designs that he created for the test.

Stunning contemporary yellow rose bouquet with turquoise wire beads and bobbles	Erik created a unique sympathy design suitable for the funeral service for someone that loved the beach. Calla lilies, eremuris, roses, succulents, shells and more were incorporated into this fabulous design!
Erik created a modern linear design suitable for the home with gladiolus and steel grass framing a focal emphasis of sunflowers. Petals of sunflowers lift away as if to float to heaven	This design, although not one of Erik's personal favorites, was part of the tested which allowed judges to see if you could duplicate a design. Each contestant was given a photo in which they had to duplicate everything about the design.

This category was for an "over-the-shoulder" adornment...Erik created a whimiscal corsage of Calla lilies, billy balls, hypericum, live wire and gems appropriate for a wedding.

This week, we have kept quite busy thanks to Owens Corning employee appreciation event. The second day was held at Multnomah Falls  Restaurant. 40 people attended a beautiful dinner coordinated by Amanda Houghton of Life’s a Party Event Planning and Consulting. For this event, we created stunningly tall arrangements inspired by the beautiful northwest surroundings of the falls. Branches, nests, succulents, ferns, mosses, feathers, rocks and grasses were all incorporated into the theme.

White Roses, hydrangeas and calla lilies added the crisp clean feel to the event.

This week, we have kept quite busy thanks to Owens Corning (a client of ours) and their 2 day employee appreciation event starting at Springhouse Cellars Winery. 50 people attended a beautiful dinner provided by Niki Davis of Nicolette’s Catering and coordinated by Amanda Houghton of Life’s a Party Event Planning and Consulting. We created lavish centerpieces, inspired by the venue and wine corks…hundreds of them! Julie comes up with some awesome ideas…but this one took the cake!

Long arrangements consisted of grapes, corks, grapevines and hundreds of red carnations paved together in a sea of red, green and cork brown.

Look close! You will see some corks entwined on vines!

Niki’s buffet arrangement was created in a bowl brimming with corks and corks on grapevine. Shots of vibrant red crocosmia added the life to the party!

Whew! We have been very busy the last couple weeks. This special event sponsored by Vancouver’s BIA hosted over 250 attendees at the new Parade of Homes site in Ridgefield, WA at Green Gables and Pioneer Canyon. We had the great opportunity to create stunning tropical arrangements for the event thanks to Amanda from Life’s a Party Event Planning and Consulting and Niki from Nicolette’s Catering.

These Stunning Arrangements were created in cone shaped containers on stands. Anthurium, orchids, heliconia, bamboo, crocosmia and tropical foliages were combined together in this dramatic look.

Tall arrangements towered above many of the tables with bamboo, ti leaves and crocosmia. Simple and stunning!

On other tables, low bowls of river stone, bamboo, palms and anthurium dressed up the tables.

On Niki’s buffet tables, we created long tablescape arrangements of tropical splendor! Overall a really great event! Thanks to everyone that referred us and for such a great opportunity to show what Flowers Washougal can do!

A beautiful day in June started off right for Amanda and Dave’s organically creative wedding. From classic touches like gardenias, old fashioned roses and sweetpeas, to less conventional selections like succulents, string of pearls, scabiosa pods and poppy pods, this wedding was fabulously fun to create!

Bridesmaid’s carried sweet nosegays of freesia, roses, mokara orchids, billy balls, succulents, lamb’s ear and much much more. The vibrant shades of yellow and contrasting grays made for a sophisticated yet casual feel perfect for the afternoon affair.

Amanda’s toss bouquet consisted of all things textural in a display of organic wonder.

Her boutonnieres were anything but ordinary. Each different, they displayed many of the individual elements of the wedding in “small bites”

This custom cake was created by Sweet Cakes by Melissa - Gresham, OR. We adorned the cake with all of the wonderful touches of the wedding. Adding manzanita branches to the look really added a bold and beautiful texture to the overall look.

With November upon us, it’s nice to know, people are still getting married late in the season. Kelsey and Jeremy got married at a beautiful church here in Washougal. For this time of year, autumn tones and deep rich colors are common choices for our brides. But Kelsey is anything but typical. When I met with her and her mom months ago, they explained to me that Kelsey has always loved rainbows. So, when it came time to pick the colors for her special day…it was obvious what the choice was. RAINBOW!

Kelsey's bridal bouquet

Her attendants each wore a beautiful color from fuschia, to buttery yellow, lilac, blue and deep green. Their bouquets of fragrant seasonal flowers tied in the colors of the wedding. From Roses to hydrangeas, stock to iris, these bouquets has some of Kelsey’s favorites and a couple of ours!

The Attendant's Bouquets

The ceremony was inside, but pulled together a garden like feel, with vases of garden flowers on shepherd hooks and a white garden arch perfect for the day.  All the colors and flowers of the wedding were combined in this colorful array of seasonal wonderment.
