Party Scene

Here are a few shots of Michelle's designs for Panther Creek's Member-Guest party last weekend.  Love the Nantucket-feel of the flowers,  sea shells, and netting :)
Sand-filled cylinders featured sea shells and sea-blue glass.

June Weddings


June has been a busy wedding month!  We so appreciate our brides and grooms who choose Petals & Co for their flowers.  It's an honor to do our part to make their day special.








This couple used photographs of numbers as a theme throughout their Panther Creek venue. Flowering kale, hydrangea, and white larkspur topped some towers, while submerged florets of hydrangea filled others. 













Vases of pink and a signature drink were featured at this Firefighter's Club wedding reception.  The roses are Oceana, and they smell heavenly!




 
Wheat grass holds  table cards for the guests.













 
White stretch chair covers with green and white flowers give Erin's Pavilion a crisp clean look. 












June is a great wedding month, but so is July!  Stay tuned--more wedding flowers to come :)

Summer Rec


This little alstro topiary was our first project at Michelle's flower class at Summer Rec.     Alstromeria is a great flower.  It holds up forever--well, maybe not forever, but  two weeks easily!




Michelle had all sorts of tips to share--how to make your flowers last longer, how to add accents of color with ribbon and mesh, and how to use decorative wire and u-glue dots to hold everything together.  Be sure to stop by Petals & Co for your flower fix!

Prom Time

Petals & Co is ready for Prom!   Check out our great flower bracelets--pearls, beads, rhinestones, or bright flexible wire . . .
 Ribbons in every hue.  One of the new trends this year is animal print with a color twist. . .

Choose from our Fitz Design bracelets or one-of-a-kind handmade by Petals & Co.  Either way, you'll have a beautiful bracelet to wear and enjoy long after prom is over.

Call us (217-498-8882) or stop by soon.  We can also help you with other flower jewelry options--rings, armbands, flower tatoos, maybe an orchid for your updo.    And don't forget the bout!

Panther Creek Wedding Show


 Panther Creek, one of our very favorite venues, was the site of a wedding show this past weekend.  We were delighted to provide floral finery for the tables!
Red roses with a touch of leopard

Submersible LEDs and fun gel beads  add  a punch of color and light to these cocktail table centers


Chocolate cymbidiums under a lighted shade
Pink hydrangea with floating roses & wire accents
Walking stick branches with white dendro orchids, agapanthus, accented with green apples

We couldn't decide which table center we liked best.  Let us know if you have a favorite!
