Pink brings out the femine side of us all....

Textures, Colours and Prom

How I love sheer and satin ribbon, the two textures together combined with fresh blooms give such a feminine feel that is only matched by the compliments that the softness of a pearl corsage bracelet gives.  Visual interest is often gained by using several textures and shapes.  A wrist corsage can help to soften an outfit giving a more fluent overall look.

Nevertheless, in this blog, the colour is the major factor.  Associated with all things feminine, pink is a quiet soft colour.  Offering both acceptance and contentment, Pink can also settle an agressive environment.

So, if you like pink, you will love some of these pictures.

Enjoy the pinkness.... Paula xx



Feeling Blue???

The colour of the sky and the ocean, blue is the colour of inspiration and sincerity.  A blue iris suggests that friendship is important to you.  Turquoise on the other hand, has a soothing affect and is the symbol of youth. 

Blue can give a feeling of peace....

So, are you blue??

If you are, you maybe interested in a couple of these pics that should inspire your creative mind...

Enjoy, and next time you are feeling blue, come and see us at About Flowers.....

The Colour Red

Red is a very emotionally intense colour, bright and bold, it is also associated with energy and passion.  Sound like you???

Well, if you have a gorgeous red prom dress, stunning red prom shoes, diamante jewellery and a fabulous bag, you are all set.  Oh, of course that is apart from your bespoke, one of a kind prom corsage..

When you think about Prom, think "About Flowers".

When you think about Prom....think "About Flowers"....

I have so neglected this blog, but you will be pleased to know that I have made extra efforts to get you some good..... no....great images to get inspiration from.

I have the greatest florist friend, who is based in Yerrington, Nevada.  (That is not far from Las Vegas for us UK guys.)  Anyway, Tracey or Twigs as we fondly call her, very kindly sent me a disc with all of these images on to show our UK girls.  How nice is that???

She is famous throughout our florist network and has her own blog that you may find very inspiring.  She is the prom queen as far as I am concerned.  http://promflowers.blogspot.co.uk/

Anyway, onto the new pics that I am really excited about.  Just a few for now.  If you have any questions on any of these, just email me on info@about-flowers.co.uk or go over to our facebook page and ask me there...  http://www.facebook.com/#!/AboutFlowersWidnes

There are various ways in which you can wear a flower corsage and this initial blog is just to show you different aspects, even more to come in the next couple of weeks. 

The shoulder corsage.

The wrist corsage, above with Roses and below with Orchids.



The waist corsage, shown here with Gerbera, Mini Roses and Hypericum Berries.  Accented with sheer ribbon which I personally adore.

Corsages can be matched almost perfectly to your dress, and we promise not to make two the same for the same school.

Anyway, enjoy your prom shopping....... get over to pintrest and start collecting your ideas. 

Oh and for your information, we do prom corsages in both silk and fresh which means we can post these out to anywhere in the UK.  We design fresh prom corsages for Widnes, Runcorn, Warrington, St Helens and Liverpool.  Come and see us, if you like, give us a ring first to make sure I am in (I love to talk prom)....

You get one prom, enjoy it!!

Lots of love Paula xx
