Flower Arranging 101
I had the pleasure of attending a flower arranging workshop at William Ashley’s new flagship on bloor the other weekend with my sister Ariel and am happy to share some tips with you so you can make the same insta-worthy bouquets at home.
I have been making my own arrangements for years for photo shoots and my own entertainments at home but confess that 99% of the time I stick to groupings of single types of blooms in one vase. I still love this look, but it was nice to be pushed out of my comfort zone and learn from an actual pro how to make a professional-looking multi bloom arrangement. Alice from Alice’s Table (of Shark Tank fame) did a great job walking us through the basic steps and it was a treat to be able to use the beautiful Kastehelmi vase from Finnish brand IItala.

IDS16 Highlights
Thursday night was the opening party of IDS, otherwise known as the Interior Design Show, here in Toronto. I will always have a soft spot for the event after having coordinated a feature space way back when at my first design gig, but I haven’t been to the show in a couple of years while in new mom mode.
Now that I’m back in the swing of things with work, I was pleased to be invited to attend a demonstration on opening night of the show from DXV, the luxury division of American Standard. The invite came with a fluffy embroidered robe, and let me tell you there is nothing like a touch of the spa to set the mood to see some luxury bathroom design!
