Community enrichment is an essential aspect of Sweet Bloom’s work.  Read along as Tavia shares how Sweet Bloom gives back to the Bragg Creek community through floral design.

Recently I was asked by the Fine Arts Team at Banded Peak School to be an artist in residence during their Fine Arts Day. A day where local artisans come together to teach school aged children their art. For Sweet Bloom this was an immediate YES!  I could not imagine a more fulfilling community enrichment idea…teaching students in Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 the love of floral design.

So, on January 19th, students at Banded Peak School began crafting their own Magical Fairy Gardens!  Using fresh greens, brilliant blooms, magical crystals, and of course a little bit of fairy dust, students created individual gardens for their fairies to enjoy!

As always, it takes a team to make this type of event possible.  Firstly, Thank You to Kelly!  Kelly is our bloom specialist who provided the blooms for our special event.  Thank you to our community volunteer, Rose, and Banded Peak’s teacher, Karen, who spent the day supporting our artists.  Finally, a warm Thank You to the Banded Peak Fine Arts Team for inviting Sweet Bloom to participate in this wonderful event!

Read along as Tavia highlights Sweet Bloom’s favourite vintage design of the 2014 wedding season.

Vintage/rustic/nostalgic… are common words to describe the ever growing vintage theme for weddings.  From vintage milk vases, to repurposed mason jars, and old tea cups…the vintage theme has grown exponentially.

My favourite part of being the lead designer of Sweet Bloom is the ability to explore and choose all the design elements.  When designing for Anne and Rej’s summer 2014 wedding, the vintage theme was evident in all aspects of the bride’s planning.  She hoped to have a bridal bouquet that reflected a vintage feel and was unique to her personal taste.  I selected garden roses in soft pink and white accented with eryngium. These beautiful, delicate, peony structured roses offered a perfect match for the vintage theme.  The bouquet was accented with white wax flower and seeded eucalyptus to complete the design.

Sweet Bloom shares inspirational literature that guides the design process.

One of my favourite ways to gain new ideas and learn techniques from other expert designers is through literature. These inspirational books full of detailed, elaborate designs and new bloom information keep me on my learning journey and expand my knowledge base. Being dedicated to a life of learning allows me to provide my clients with current bloom information and design trends. All part of the Sweet Bloom experience.

Keep checking my blog as I give you a sneak peek of my favourite wedding design books.
