Photo Gallery Tuesday " A Dream Table Setting"

This gorgeous table setting is from the 2010 Philadelphia Flower Show.  The whole design really took my breathe away and I felt the need to show it to some of the newer followers out there! How gorgeous are those roses? I just wish they didn't die so fast, they are so pretty! 

Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!!

Jewelry Made by Flowers at the 2010 Philadelphia Flower Show

Our last post from the flower show is the most unbelievable. All these exhibits are truly amazing and those who create them I clap very loudly. It really makes you feel anything is possible and being an artist is a great gift. I hope some of these posts have inspired you to try something different. I am so looking forward to next years show as Springtime in Paris sounds like it is going to be a real gem. 

they tell you what items were used to make the jewelry - this one has coconut, chick pea, mustard seed, lima bean to name a few 

I would wear all of these bracelets - how 'bout you ?

love the color on these mixed with the gold 

what detail that went into these

 

being a jewelry lover, there was not anything I saw I wouldn't wear

Exploration South Africa

Working with design colleagues from South Africa, the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD) provides a tangible artistic presentation of the Zulu culture. Hand-thatched huts, live drummers, a chandelier of floral birds, and sculpted life-size lion and giraffe provide an enchanting entry to a walk-through display that invites visitors to inspect tribal headdresses and masks that depict the vivid colors and patterns found among the native people.

this was very colorful and just amazing

I really had to fight for these photos with no arms in the way !!

Flowers! The Jewels of an Indian Wedding

 An Indian wedding is an unforgettable event, and this exhibit is equally memorable. With a traditional wedding canopy, life-size floral elephant, soaring palm trees, golden columns entwined with jasmine, lotus-filled pools, floral mosaics, and elaborate ropes of marigolds, this wedding scene celebrates the senses and the colorful, joyous spirit of India.**

the colors were just amazing 

this was my fave exhibit of the show

2010 Philadelphia Flower Show "Polar Fantasy"

Though flowers are not normally grown in 40-below temperatures, this exhibit brings flowers to the Arctic with the warmth of the swirling lights of the Aurora Borealis.  

The display features all-white flowers encapsulated in caverns of snow and ice.  

Thousands of white dendrobium orchids behind sheets of “ice” frozen in stalagmite and stalagtite formations are combined with spherical mounds of white carnations piled high throughout the exhibit.  

As guests walk through, fiber optic cables power the swirling colorful lights in an ever-changing pattern that captures the imagination and brings warmth to the coldest point on the globe.

this was an amazing thing to see in person

the type that takes your breathe away....

Orchids are beautiful

these looked very different but as we got closer we realized......

they were covered in wax.....

are you amazed???? 

Exhibit is by Schaffer Designs of Philadelphia, Pa
