Simple Tricks || Creating Your Own Foraged Autumn Centerpiece with Grocery Store Blooms || Dreamery Events

When it comes to entertaining and Life Itself, I think we’re all on board for “Niksen”, the Dutch concept of as simple as, well, doing nothing. The Dutch motto for the joy of doing nothing, I guess very similar to the Italian saying “Il Dolce Far Niente”. And I’m all for it! I mentioned it…

Caramel Pumpkin Pie || Dreamery Events

Good ole pumpkin pie. Some are all about it, some will eat it if served but that’s about it, and then the rest simply don’t care for it. It’s definitely an acquired taste, not an instant crowd pleaser like apple pie. But for some time, before the holidays get real busy, I had been craving…

Classic Apple Pie

Is there anything more American than Apple Pie?? This simple dessert is as classic as it gets, and pretty much the epitome of Autumn. No surprise, Apple Pie is also the most popular pie in America! But even the classics like Apple Pie aren’t all made the same way. Some stick to traditional cinnamon, while others…

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”
……
This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
