A few weeks ago I had a chance to meet with Kirsten of Blue Magnolia. She’s a doll and the local florist to the stars (and we’re working together soon, so excited!). And she just opened the most adorable floral shop in Summerland.

I stopped by her grand opening event this past Saturday and its really too sweet for words. I mean, milk glass for sale? Yes, please.

Here is some of her recent stunning work, shot by Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie. I love the orchids and soft purple glass, so pretty.

To learn more about Kirsten check out her website here, or visit her shop at 2246 Lillie Ave in Summerland.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Laura Sangas of Cody Floral Design. I simply adore these modern tabletops she did for a showcase at the Santa Barbara Polo Fields. I love the bright, summery colors, and how she used the split down the tables to act as a holder for the tall papyrus. Its both dramatic and functional.

I also love the poesys of calla lilies wrapped with wire because:

1. I’m obsessed with callas lilies.

2. I love when an interesting and different material is combined with flowers.

Be sure to visit Laura’s website for more of her inspiring work!

On Saturday I met with Camilla at the Biltmore and she showed some of photos of her gorgeous work. Her style is versatile, but her passion for color is obvious.

I met Camille of Modern Day Designs last week and she is such a nice lady with a great eye. She shares the similar sentiment with me about flowers, more is not always more. I love the simple aisle decoration below that demonstrates this point.
