Channeling Cristobal Balenciaga

July 15th, 2011

As many of you know, Cristobal Balenciaga was the highly acclaimed Spanish fashion designer. He was famed for his inventive haute couture fashion design and had a recent exhibition at the de Young Museum featuring a 120-piece retrospective. In May, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Board of Trustees had their welcome dinner celebration for their newest members. This special occasion was themed around the Balenciaga exhibit and included florals by Soulflower Floral Design.

Soulflower owner, Emily Dreblow, remarks on the event: “It was truly an honor to provide florals to the de Young and Legion of Honor’s Board of Trustees. For an incredibly sophisticated group with such high regard for the arts, I am flattered to be able to add our sense of style and channel Balenciaga’s flair for drama. We chose to take a monochromatic approach with the dramatic use of large black tropical leaves coupled with fuchsia, ‘Coral’ and ‘Red Charm’ peonies and speckled tiger orchids.”

Just seeing the event’s photos makes me want to dance the flamenco and drink Spanish wine! If you missed this exhibition, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy Picasso’s fine work.

Viva Balenciaga!

Soulflower on Style Me Pretty

July 1st, 2011

It’s always a good day when we are featured on Style Me Pretty, this time for a romantic occasion at James Leary Flood Mansion. Newlyweds Kathryn and Johnny wanted a hip, fairytale wedding and we think everyone we collaborated with on this event knocked it out of Cinderella’s Dolores Park!

For the perfect marriage of hip and fairytale, we combined tall, classical arrangements with little touches of sparkle and texture.

In addition, to the beautiful setting, we can’t to get enough of Kathryn’s wedding dress by Vera Wang. The dress was also featured in the movie Bride Wars worn by Kate Hudson. We’re still raving about all that gorgeous tulle!
