Designing at the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA) Part II

So thrilled with this photo of the design I did today at the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA).  It was taken in the dark lobby of the detroit film theatre so when i lightened it up in editing it came out looking like a painting don't you think?  How perfect for an art museum design to look like a painting :)

It is just so fun to carry the design around the museum and photograph it with all the gorgeous architecture, stone work and gilded frames in the background.  Big thanks to Jody Costello of Fleur Detroit for helping me pick out the poppy pods which were the perfect accent!

This design also includes succulents, kiwi vine, vanda orchids, garden roses, clematis, and monstera leaves.  I'm so happy with the whole thing but probably love the kiwi vine the most I will be buying that again (all flowers are from Mayesh)

Today was my first attempt at leading the weekly designs for Prentis Court at the DIA  
It was equal parts fun and terrifying.. I'm not used to designing outside of my studio but there was lots of friendly help and I soon forgot how freaked out I was and got lost in the flowers.  

These designs include, Jasmine vine, sterling range, hawaiian orchids, classic duet coral roses, jumbo green hydrangea, succulents, pink riceflower, pink parrot tulips, privet berries, and quince branches... there are some awesome pink astilbe hiding behind but you can really see them in these photos much.

Can't wait to design at the museum again on the 30th! Such a delightful community new flower freinds!
