Colored Foam

{Both here}

Say what?
Okay so you are probably familiar with the green foam right? This is what everyone uses in floral arrangements unless it's a fresh water vase. But yesterday I got to play with some colored foam. Powdered foam no less.

{powder foam here}


So at first I was like ehh...maybe if I make big cosmos the size of a tall arrangement for like a casino night or Sex in the City party but c'mon, how many request do you get for that???
I saw a display of this at a lecture I attended last year but still I thought, no thanks buddy.
I pass.

Well.....that was till I saw Maribel's Wasabi.
What the heck does that mean you are asking?
Take a look.

I told her she was after my own heart, they were so cute!
That wasabi is actually foam and the sushi are made of leaves with fresh flowers in them. the drinks are also filled with colored foam and then were topped with fresh flowers.
GURRRLLLL.
That is what I said outloud.
I may have to borrow that is what I said to myself : P J/K!

These are Holly's. One is like a big a** Margarita and the other is like a cool rununcula sorbet, right? So yes, these are made out of foam and real fresh cut flowers. Yellow Rununcuals and pink carmelia's(sp?).

This one is Ruby's. She cracked me up with her Ikebana spin on the whole floral foam. I find it amusing because she purposely combined the two knowing Soho would have a cow with the foam because it's not exactly Ikebana material.
I almost peed my pants when she named her arrangement
"Pink Panties".

Here are my two:
Tropic thunder


and Steel Magnolias. Hahaha!
We didn't have to name them , we just got silly and thought up names.

We were totallly having fun with these and going overboard with ribbon and bedazzling them!:P

This last picture is like an assembly line of various cocktails that my favorite two sisters made, Monica and Maria. Doesn't that yellow margarita with an orange tulip and lily grass look like you could drink it? They are totally toxic but man they look like a mango smoothie of some sort, don't they?

Ok, this one is very sweet. It's a cake made out of fresh cut flowers!


Look at how cute it is. Like a little petit four that would be perfect as a table setting for a wedding. Everyone gets their own dessert. There were other great designs, that I just forgot to snap up.

They are slowly growing on me.

Will I make them?
Probably not.....but if someone asked me tooo..............
