Tonight I attended a fabulous collaboration of an event at Juliska in Vineyard Haven, who teamed up with the cool gals at MV Florist...showing us their fancy tips and tricks of flower arranging. If you're not familiar with Juliska on Martha's Vineyard, you should definitely become acquainted! Their fancy tableware will have you ooohing and aaahhing all day long. They are a beautiful store for a bridal registry and they were a fantastic host for this event. My Wedding Studio gals, Marisa and Jessica, also attended the event with me and we had an absolute blast!

| Our first demo used lots of beautiful roses...in this gorgeous white Juliska vase. |
 |
| The middle arrangement was beautifully and simply done....in a classic and clear Juliska vase. |
Some Tips We Learned Tonight (thank you Marisa for taking notes!):
*Arrangement's height should coincide with the container's height
*Use straight stems in the center and let the bent ones flow over the sides
*Start the arrangement with green filler, so that it can hold all the flowers in place
*Remember to turn the vase as you arrange and to look at the floral arrangement from a seated position if its for a table top

| Our fabulous Juliska and MV Florist hosts, thank you for a great evening! |
|
 |
| We had some time to browse after the demo and before we made our own flower arrangements...love this crystal gem and the decorative flags, just screamed Olympics! |
|
 |
| I'm a sucker for books....especially when they have "Sweet" and "Cake" in the titles! |
 |
| Welcome to Martha's Vineyard. |
 |
| Okay, listen to me closely!!! You need to pick up one of these numbers at MV Florist's retail shop in Edgartown immediately! Well, at least during store hours of course! This little jar contains candied hibiscus flowers, that are delicious! They served them to us in the bottom of a champagne glass...poured the champagne over it and it was gorgeous! Gave the champagne a pink tint, added a little sweetness and it was elegant and delish'! For only $8, you need to go stock up and then have your friends over for a glass. |
 |
| Get very familiar with these friendly faces! My staff of two...and event professionals in their own right, I'd be lost and overwhelmed without them! Jessica Barker on the left and Marisa Walsh on the right....are now seasoned florists!(Well, almost!) | | | |

 |
| This was my very own flower arranging creation and I love it! I may be an amateur, but it sure looked good to me! |
