Floral Inspiration :: A Lush Mix of Pretty Yellows & Pastel June Blooms || Dreamery Events

oh, how fleeting you always are sweet, darling June … It seems we’re all being kept too busy these days, and June, the one month I have a softer place in my heart for — and perhaps it is because I celebrate another dance around the sun a few days into the month — but…

Lovely ripe, sweet and plump with juice, and all the varieties please! I love a Kumato Brown, Golden Jubilee yellow, the smaller…

Pie is most certainly my favorite thing to make. Often on afternoon making pie dough, getting my fingers into the cold butter and flour, it’s like a beautiful mental trip or therapy session. It soothes the soul. Can I say that’s really the secret to any yummy flaky pie dough. And when it comes to…

Watermelon, Peach + Tomato Caprese Salad || Dreamery EventsWatermelon, Peach + Tomato Caprese Salad ... the only meal you'll want this Summer! || Dreamery Events

It’s the peak of summertime, the heat lingering day after day, that soothing ultra-relaxed “let’s kick back”, celebrate this slowness — live it slowly and fully like Mother Nature intends….the kind of days I live for. In the truth it’s the mentality and lifestyle I wish everyday of the year was more like. More laidback….

Mango Curd Ice Cream

July 30, 2018 · Leave a Comment

And just like that, another summer month is coming to its end. July where did you go so quickly? I didn’t get to enjoy and make nearly enough ice cream to commemorate National Ice Cream Month. This food holiday isn’t just a fad either, it’s been around since 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared July as…

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.
