A ‘Pumpkin Carving’ Party!
Once in a while, team FW gets a project that might be considered out of the realm of a flower shop’s regular duties…But not to us! We welcome all the quirky ‘odd requests’ with excitement, pouring into them creativity and life. This last week, we were faced with a ‘pumpkin carving party’ yard project.
A good customer came to us and requested a festive scene fit for all the ghosty and gobliny kids of the neighborhood to exercise their creative pumpkin wielding. We created a six-foot scarecrow with lighting pumpkin head, a ‘trick or treat’ pumpkin totem of stacked pumpkins and bittersweet, and a patch with beautiful autumn mums, corn, millet, apples, pumpkins, and gourds. We sure had fun doing it. And everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Happy Halloween and Pumpkin carving Nielsen Family!!
Best Of Luck Dustin and Kristin!
This past weekend, we had 3 more weddings. Dustin and Kristin tied the knot in the Rhodedendron Garden in Portland. She chose beautiful flowers in deep shades of purple with accents of lime green. Turquiose ribbon offset the colors and balanced the addition of peacock feathers!
Blooming oregano, scabiosa, hypericum, seeded eucalyptus and feathers add contrast and whimsy to the completed bouquet!
The Parade of Homes 2010 – VIP Event
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!
