Here are some beautiful designs we created to spruce up local businesses.  We often opt for long lasting flowers and greens, and use cool textures and items.  Sometimes protea or orchids make it into the mix for a burst of color. Delivery and cleanup is often included in these weekly or bi weekly orders.  For more information about office, restaurant or business flower delivery please see our website.

I wouldn't usually put cabbage and tropical in the same sentence. Here's a pic of a lush tropical arrangement Gorgeous and Green created for a local restaurant, featuring organic and local cabbage, local roses and local birds of paradise.  Very bright and  festive.

Gorgeous and Green provided another set of wild and local restaurant arrangements for Origen Restaurant in Berkeley.  Here is a pic of the large dining room arrangement.  The focal points were deformed echium branches, I thought it looked almost like a large oyster mushroom, along with locally grown protea and local greens.

Last week Gorgeous and Green provided some bushy arrangements for the local Farm to Fork restaurant, Origen.  Local and branchy, it was a nice change from our usual, more sculpted and linear arrangements.

I would like to continue sharing what Gorgeous and Green does at Origen restaurant in Berkeley, so here are a few more pics from my phone.  This week I tried to incorporate the local white calla lilies, that we've been getting from a local organic grower in Oakland, lovely local blooming camelia branches and some ornamental artichokes, since it is a restaurant! Here are two arrangements, one for the bar and a larger more branchy one for the main dining room:

Sorry it's a little fuzzy!

Here's a photo of an arrangement provided for Origen Restaurant in Berkeley.  The colors of the restaurant remind me of toasted almonds, baked apricots and pistachios. So when I can, I bring in flowers and branches with hints of warm green, browns and orange/red.

Hello friends of Gorgeous and Green We are always bringing new items into the boutique, and slowly getting them up on the online shop as well.  Here are some lovely strawberry dishtowels from Tina Produce, a local artist!  We also carry the dishtowels in other berry prints as well as  sets of four napkins.  Blueberry, strawberry, blackberry and raspberry and mixed sets of napkins.

They are printed on various earth-friendly fabrics including a recycled hemp and recycled cotton fabric!

Here's a nice arrangement with complementing colors that was delivered today for a special Grandpa in Berkeley.  Slightly masculine and whimsical, I love the right complements of red, purple and blue.

Featuring local organic anemones/cedar/iris/dogwood, local gerbera and sustainable brazilia in a nice cobalt blue vase.

A few weeks ago, we were asked to provide a lovely arrangement for a local Terra Bella Client.  They have been a long-time sustainable florist in the Seattle area, and I have been well aware of their work for a while, as there are not many of us who offer similar services.

Here's a lovely arrangement featuring local hydrangea (small because it's only early spring) local ranunculus, Veriflora freesia, and other lovely greens and branches.  We attached a lovely hand printed and recycled card for the message.

Here's the large arrangement we created for the main dining room.  We love including locally grown flowers and produce and try to use organic when possible.  Check out the pop of yellow from the lemons...

And here's a smaller arrangement for the bar that also has the lovely blooming branches, flowering kale and lemons as well as some pops or orange
