Floral Artistry

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up"
- Pablo Picasso 

Picasso's Summer Bouquet

 I like to think of myself not as a florist.  I think of myself as a Floral Artist.  Not every bouquet is a unique piece of art.  But when the oppurtunity arises to create something truly unique and distinctive, well, that simply brings an artist much joy.

Bouquet & Bout made with organic florals and recycled computer parts

 While on one of my trips to Southern California working with my sister's company, we were given a challenge.  Create a 'green' wedding theme for a display at a book signing.  We brainstormed and came up with the idea to tear apart an old computer and use the parts to make various wedding items.
What we didn't anticipate was how much work it is to tear apart a recycled comptuter.  We sat in her garage with hammers and other tools hacking away.  We laughed so hard as computer parts flew across the room.
At the end of the day, we had created a bouquet, boutonniere, centerpiece, and table number out of computer parts and organic floras.  We we proud to display our unique works of art!
I am excited to have a wedding this summer here in Southern Oregon that the bride has an artistic and eclectic flair.  We are having so much fun designing her wedding!

I absolutely treasure my time making my Bride's Bouquets.  I want my Bride's bouquet to be perfect and fresh for the big day.  I set the alarm for 3 am......rub my eyes...and get to it!  My brides deserve a bouquet that is splendid to accompany them down the aisle.

Romantic Rose Garden Inspirations

My bride and groom came to me with a vision.  My adorable bride knew exactly what she wanted.  She pulled out her spiral notebook with pictures clipped out of various wedding magazines taped to the pages.  She had already decided on a venue.  The beautiful rose garden at Eden Valley Vineyards.  I wanted to give the couple what they were envisioning, only better.  The first image is an image sent to me after our first meeting.  I loved this couples' style and was excited to help this vision become a reality.  Months of planning ensued.  The moment of  completion came.  As I looked around I literally got chills from head to toe.  It was truly breathtaking.  I felt like I had to pinch myself to make sure it was real.  One of my proudest moments as a professional wedding designer!  Below is a couple of the images of the centerpieces, just a portion of the overall design.  I am smiling now as I look at the beautiful centerpieces my team and I delivered that day!

Jane Productions Design Team and Marigold Vintage Rentals headed up to Portland for one of the swankiest bridal shows of the year, Luxe Bridal Show in the Pearl.  We had a very successful showing.  Brides and Vendors alike fell in L-O-V-E with the vintage rentals and my vintage inspired floral displays.  Marigold will have to open up a studio in the Portland area as I predict a ton of biz coming their way.  

More pictures to follow, but here is a sneak peak!

Southern Oregon Wedding Expo

The Southern Oregon Wedding Expo was a huge success!  I am so proud of the teamwork between Jane Productions and Marigold {Vintage Event Rentals}.  We worked around the clock to bring visitors a unique and beautiful booth.  Our hard work certainly paid off.  We had many visitors; we shared our story and heard theirs.  Interacting with upcoming brides is an energizing experience.  I love these bridal shows!  Both Jane Productions and Marigold have received multiple bookings from this one show.  I have a feeling we might get booked for this coming wedding season!  The fusion of my design and Kelle's vintage furniture is brilliant....can't wait to rock it out!

Here are some images the talented Rachel from Pixy Prints shot for us.  She is a gifted photographer as you can see, these images look like they could be on a cover of a magazine.  Thank you Rachel for taking the time to take these amazing images for us!  To see more of this talented ladies' work go to:  www.pixyprints.com
