the circle of life

Beth O'Reilly AIFD TMF collaborates with Coby Neal AIFD, PFCI and Nil Buan Videography to create floral street art that portrays the metaphor of the circle of life through flowers. They took this installation throughout the streets of Austin, the state capital and a popular swimming hole in hopes to capture peoples reaction to experiencing flower art in a new and exciting way. 

Autumn Floral Feast

Beth O'Reilly AIFD TMF shows us how to make a structural arrangement using stacked Oasis foam disks inside a beautiful container from UCI’s Current collection. This arrangement is perfect for an entry way of a fall wedding, food tables, or even corporate events. The added element of fruit really gives it an organic and fresh vibe; not only does it look delicious, but it can be a useful vessel for flowers! 

Dipped in Gold

Beth O'Reilly will show us a new design trend called "dipped in gold". This look is created by taking things from around the shop and adding a new gold, glittery finish. The main course is a dipped in gold bridal bouquet that will make your bride sparkle with glee! Featured floral product: novelty carnations, Sahara roses, Camel roses, Camel Antique garden roses, Romantic roses, Cool Water roses, Sterling Silver roses, magnolia leaves, succulents and agonis.

Living Picture 

Living walls, vertical and micro-gardens are all the rage. Follow along as Beth O'Reilly AIFD shares how to create a living picture with succulent plants and fresh cut flowers from Mayesh Wholesale Florist's line of Awesome Blossoms.
