Gretcehn who works at Vida is a brilliant sculptor of natural product. These 2 wall hangings are made from lotus pods (alot) and bark, they are fantastic together side by side or as single displays. Such an interesting piece of art.

Pacific Pearl

Tuesday before Christmas we were lucky enoough to get the job of decorating P&O Cruise Ship the Pacific Pearl for her launch party. It was a challenge to say the least, the weather could have been kinder to us, MAF held us up and then getting 5 pellets of flowers and vases on board a cruise ship as well as a team of florists took considerable time, but the end result was 'Pacifica' and colourful and best of all a fantastic party followed all the hard work. And yes the moment the party was over they all had to go into the bin!

Dahlia's

Dahlias - we have been having a little play with some of these gorgeous big blousey flowers for the upcoming wedding of Linda Hallian from NZ Gardener magazine. We only wished that these gorgeous flowers were grown commercially so more brides could have them.
