Flowers and Dressers

table centrepieces

collection of flowers was a fun outing yesterday if we choose to forget about the massive price hike. this whole economic crisis affects running costs of small businesses like ours directly since we find ourselves very much at the mercy of the many suppliers above us.

thankfully, the batch of flowers and leaves ordered came from good crops. once done, i slipped into the cold room once again to check out fresh supplies of flowers for the week. peonies were a lovely lot! wax flowers came in 4 different colours - apart from the usual greenish and purplish hues, red and ochre hues were available too.

last night was spent conditioning the roses while today we completed all the arrangements required for this weekend's wedding. we worked mainly with red roses and leaves. pretty standard stuff i guess. set up begins late late saturday night!

apart from this weekend's wedding, i've been browsing the net for stylish dressers. i got so caught up, i decided to dress mine up! but here are a few from various sites - these pretty things are just perfect in pictures. according to my mom, dresser ornaments are dust collectors. but i guess it wouldn't hurt to dress yours once in a while and pretend you live in a magazine bedroom. haha =)

i really love these mirrored dressers and furniture in general - taken from cotedetexas.blogspot

this picture got me dresser crazy. the ranunculus are in the perfect shade of dusty pink well matched with the turquoise estee lauder bottle of something, enamel bangles and the pink bead/crystal necklace adds a nice element of translucency to this whole jpeg. - taken from stylecourts.blogspot


flowers simply transform a plain table to a pretty one. therefore, find of the day is this purple/pink hydrangea currently as big as my head and definitely bigger than nora's! haha =)


i'm thinking a lace mat for the jewelry box and i didn't expect the hydrangeas to be so large! but time is short now so i'll rethink later.
