Altar flowers Part 1

Occasionally, I am called on to design altar flowers.  I know many churches have an altar guild or committee to handle the task, so with Pentecost Sunday this weekend I naturally thought of altar flowers.  If we use the traditional liturgical colors, Pentecost provides an opportunity for bold color that is compelling in contrast to the usually subdued colors in altar arrangements.  For more on liturgical colors, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgical_colours




These are at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.  The ferns stay in the church all the time, and they provide nice contrast for the bright colors in the arrangements.

During Ordinary Time, which is traditionally associated with green, any seasonal arrangements will work.  Here is a fall altar arrangement I designed for a christening at First Methodist Church.




Dried hydrangeas are great to have on hand for fall.

Prints

One of the things I enjoy most is helping clients choose prints and other art for their homes.  Today, I'll be sharing a few of the prints that I sell in my spaces at Interiors Market in Jackson.

Pottery Preview

I've learned to make pottery this year.  I'm still learning, but I did have some pottery at the holiday shows. 


Be sure to visit my Facebook page for more wedding flowers, holiday, and home décor.



 
I've produced these cross ornaments and a few other small pieces and found this is something I enjoy very much.

Shower Flowers!

This will be the end of the wedding series for awhile.  Before we leave the topic for a new one, I wanted to share some floral arrangements for a celebratory shower.





 
Once again, the silver trumpet vases seemed to be perfect for this setting.
