adding some colour to the street

Working from Home......Mallorca

Last week Tony and I travelled to Mallorca to create some incredible flower installations for Nick and Lucy's Wedding. We worked throughout Friday making many carnation balls. You may remember the Selfridges look we put together a few months ago......well here it is recreated Mallorca style....if only we could have hired Kartell chairs!!!!!! We had lots of flowers left over the following day, which we used to adorn my family home.......

The one on the right is me....and the left my sister.....I have always been a one in favour of posing!!!!

The following day, the carnation balls decorated our family home

My parents collect a lot of art......so we decorated this too....

Art Fair in Marylebone

Marylebone High Street closed last Sunday for their Annual Summer Fair. The InterContinental University was Host to Art in Marylebone, and we were comissioned to create two installations to attract attention at their front window. These fun chairs have become one of our signature pieces.....we create them in all sorts of blooms!

BAOD at the International Art Fair

Two weeks ago, a client comissioned us to create a floral display that would attract attention but not steal the show from this incredible painting! the arrangment had to last 2 weeks with only one top up, so we decided for a trough of Cymbidium orchids....and it certainly stole the "show"

NEW COLLECTION OF BOUQUETS ......coming soon

Shot by the incredible Mark Weeks and grooming by Sarah Jagger, By Appointment Only Design will be soon launching their collection of Bouquets for fall/winter 2010

Trip to Holland

Last Sunday we ventured to Amsterdam...to visit the flower Auction in Aalsmeer. There we visited our dear supplier Marc Boers Flower Export....we have been buying flower from them for over 2 years...their quality and choice surpasses any supplier in Covent Garden Market. There is a saying you get for what you pay...and that is totally true. Eric, Marc and Sannie work day and practically night choosing, wrapping and packing the best of blooms, sending them all over the world, we feel privileged being one of their clients!
