Lately White Iris Designs has been all over the place when it comes to floral designs. We've had a lot of different events going on & here are is a sampling of the flower art going out our door.



Antique hydrangeas, Eos roses, horse tail, seeded eucalyptus & lycopodium. There are only 2, yes 2 hydrangeas in this bouquet. They were huge & they were gorgeous!



Breakfast for wedding vendors....we sat the table. Combination of succulents, roses, apples, pears, coffee beans, oak leaves, candles, moss & creativity. This was fun! We even used the lids to the apothecary jars that we placed candles in...they had succulents & roses under them on a bed of moss. If you click the photo, you will enlarge to see all the details. These monthly meetings are held at University Plaza Hotel in West Lafayette.



This was a massed style bouquet in a shallow glass dish that has aspidistra leaves swirled inside to conceal the flower stems. The bouquet consisted of shades of pale pink & creamy yellows using gerbera daisies, roses & alstromeria. The roses used were Eos, Sahara & Antique Caramel garden rose. I got the roses in for approval by the bride for a wedding we are designing for in August.



Glass container with aspidistra leaf at the bottom & stacked Circus roses designed for Yellow Bowl Bakery. The bakery gets a surprise bouquet each week...by surprise, I mean they never know what flowers we will be bringing!



This was a bouquet for the front window of The Muse Venue during The Taste of Tippecanoe celebration. The venue is located downtown Lafayette, & is a great contemporary site for wedding receptions, corporate events, parties & on the weekends they have live music & other fun events.
This was a tall purple glass vase with deep burgundy/plum hybrid lilies, green hanging amaranthus & curly willow.


Here are the two bouquets we designed for The Muse Venue & Bea One Restaurant's booth at The Taste of Tippecanoe.
They are both in glass vases with aspidistra leaves submerged to hide the flower stems mini green cymbidium orchid sprays, blue thistle, green hanging amaranthus, fox tail, curly willow & bamboo.

We invite you to choose White Iris Designs for your next wedding or event!

The White Iris

The Iris danced across
the ancient Grecian skies. Gliding with her
embossed
satiny milken sides.

Her lithe and nimble limbs moved methodically...
From her cream white petals to her supple stem. The nectar that she carried was transposed into a hymn.

"I must use my moments wisely, for they shall soon pass away... And be lost to me forever... A mere memory of my yesterdays...

"Thus she sung
And thus she cried.
Her voice set to harp
And lyre. So true a call
So true a heart did Zeus himself see...

"Come now unto
Mt Olympus

Oh white Iris,
And our announcer be"...
She floated along
In such a curving grace...
Transposed she was
In time and space...

The blessed arched path
Which she did go,
Became the journey for
All our eternal rainbows.
