Colour Blocking... Why Not!

Hello Foxy Bloggettes,


So the question is " Why not Colour Block?" it's everywhere this 2012 Season/Year. I was recently at the mall and thought maybe I was in the 80's with all the fabulous Colours in Fashion, from the Earrings to Shoes! if you haven't been to the Mall lately go grab a Starbucks start to wonder around because I am sure you Definitely will get Inspired for some Fun Colour Blocking Schemes! It's certainly the time to Show Intensity, Power and Expression of ones self. Colour Blocking is everywhere with these Bold Colours and Patterns, Big Stripes, Chevrons, Florals etc. Not only do we see this in fashion but in Home Decor as well, just open one of your favourite Home Style Mags flip through and you will see examples from the Art work, Furniture to Wall Colour. It makes such a statement in any room, again expressing ones personality. So...Why Not Colour Block, Express your Personalities through a fun Creative way on your Special Day!
Colour Blocking with Florals makes such a beautiful impact. This Picture is an example of Hot Pink Roses and a hint of light Pink. To bring this further in your wedding decor why not do some simple vases maybe a cluster of 3 on each table, featuring in 2 all hot pink and 1 vase of light pink, maybe surround with hot pink petals, votive candles and you have yourself a fabulous focal point for your guests.
I hope you are inspired to implement some Fun, Stylish Colour in your day!

It's Been Awhile!

Hello Foxy Bloggers!

It's been such a long time since i have written anything on my blog.... I think it is time to keep up to date and fill everyone in on my life thus far... Well since my last post ...ehhhmmm ... November... well lots has happened! 
A new addition arrived to complete my lovely little family. During and i think the only Blizzard we had my little boy decided he wanted to arrive a few weeks early. Few days away from my 35th birthday i couldn't have asked for a more delightful and precious gift, 7lbs 7 oz of pure perfection all wrapped up in blue! love... here's a beautiful picture From Februaryof my Sweet Boy Bentley at 6 weeks old from the Very Talented Lifestyle & Wedding Photographer Lindsay Palmer of Lindsay Palmer Photography www.lindsaypalmer.ca

Since that Jan 30th 2012 snowy day my life and business has not stopped. Foxy Florals has been nothing but evolving! Preparing arrangements for Bridal Shows, just finishing my fourth wedding for this year, designing for Bridal Showers! With that said not only has it been about design but also looking at where do i want to bring foxy florals in the near future, with much thought, time, and never ending desire I am happy to Aannounce that Foxy Florals will be now offering to all clients, Rental services, linens, centrepieces, candelabras  etc. You simply bring your ideas and we will make sure that your vision is fulfilled and Designed with Style! This decor element  has been on the table for quite some time, Some of you know that I have been in the florist business since i was 16 years old and than deciding to attend Sheridan college for another passion of mine interior design. Living life loving all aspects of design I knew I had to find a way to stay in both worlds, well what better way than marrying them together! I am so excited about this new avenue we are embracing, nothing better than having your floral/Interior designer bring to life the entire table setting, creating beautiful ambiance for guests to enjoy all day/night long. I can not wait to share with you all this wonderful new Branch of Foxy Florals!
