Bohemian Summer Vibes | Velours Designs

California Floral Designer | Redding, Ca

Bohemian Summer Vibe Styled Shoot | April 24, 2018

This design was something out of a dream! I am so happy with how it turned out. The contrast between the soft muted tones, delicate flowers and the sharp, structured weight of the cacti was everything I imagined it would be. 

This look would be the perfect summer or spring wedding. It adds just enough wow factor to a beautiful and dainty design. Marianna Chambard Photography did a fabulous job with the photos and I would highly recommend her to anyone out looking for a photographer!

Día de Muertos Wedding | Velours Designs

Kristi and Justin King  | October 14, 2017

Talk about the funnest wedding I have ever designed! I am a huge color girl and was star struck the whole process because everything was so incredibly vibrant! I love themed weddings because I am faced with an incredible problem to solve which is... it could be disastrously corny. I don't do corny. I must manipulate the colors and textures to transform a theme into a beautiful and complete story.

The bright bold colors came together flawlessly. Two of my favorite flowers that I believe  made this look was the beautiful, small, round and yellow flowers called Craspedia and the whimsical, purple (almost blue) Veronica. 

Though we had to celebrate before the actual holiday, every detail at this wedding was perfectly executed. The favors were actual molded sugar skulls. There was a cigar bar. We set up a memorial table with photos of loved ones gone ahead. There was no detail untouched!

Orchard Picnic Floral Design Workshop

 Velours Designs 

Holly Kiker Photography

This May I held my very first floral design workshop and I had a wonderful time doing it. There is nothing I love more than seeing individuals inspired to create and learn. 

Floral Design Workshop

I have always loved going above and beyond when it comes to a party (if i can afford it.) And when the above and beyond has the potential to make someone feel special, it is even better. I created a lovely Hors d'oevres bar set up. With different meats and cheeses, salads, fruit and featured some Moseley Family Cellars Wine.

I set up a display table for each attendee to set their arrangement on. That way everyone could see how much their arrangements add when throwing a party or an event. Shout out to Rustic Charm Rentals for lending me the beautiful Safari Chairs.

The arrangement lesson I went with was a very basic design called the Horizontal Arrangement. It was really fun to see everyone understand and execute the instructions I had drawn out for them. Be sure to watch the video below if you are interested in creating this look.

Step by step instructions

Horizontal Arrangement 

Step 1: Create Your Horizon - a long structural branch or flower on opposite ends of the arrangement.

Step 2: Add Your Skeleton - forming the overall shape, don't add so much that you no longer have room for flowers

Step 3: Add Your Focal Flowers - Larger flowers that capture the attention and stand out by themselves.

Step 4: Add Fillers - light airy flowers that take up a bit of space without adding weight to the arrangement. This is a moment that you can add some textures. 

Check out the following video to see one built.

Thank you Holly Kiker Photography for providing such beautiful photos!
