Sympathy flowers can create a calm and relaxing mood for family as they are greiving. This past week, we were given the opportunity to create flowers for a stunningly simple funeral held in Brush Prairie. With roses, orchids, tulips, snowball viburnum, calla lilies, and maiden hair fern, these flowers were quite dramatic.

People probably say it all the time…”What will they think of next?” We have created everything from a smiley face, to a Ford logo, a barber pole and a baseball. Truly up for any challenge…when you call, don’t be surprised when you ask for a giraffe, and our first response is…you bet how big? Flowers Washougal…we offer every ordinary thing a flowershop should but our passion is in the unexpectable and extraordinary.

This tribute was ordered by a family for a well-known barber in our area. We were not surprised, when they called and ordered a Barber Pole made out of flowers. You see, that is our specialty. We like doing floral sculptures! We have created logos out of flowers, smiley faces, pather paws, why not a Barber Pole? Erik headed to the hardware store. A little of this, some of that, a few flowers….and LED Light for the top…Viola!

This past Monday, Scott’s mom passed away. As we do so many times, we offered up beautiful flowers with unique touches that related to her life.  She loved her chickens and sold eggs to many people in her life.

Julie created a beautiful casket piece of purples and yellows and vibrant pinks. Mollie built a chicken coop to sit in the center of it.

Accompanying easel sprays were created with tomatoes and garden flowers and foliage relating to her love of gardening.

Eggs in brightly colored egg cartons filled this easel spray with her love for chickens and selling eggs!

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.
