CBIZ Women's Advantage Pink Party - Oct 2011





Once again, a great event.  Pink was the central color theme for breast cancer awareness.  The ladies at CBIZ sure know how to put on an event.

Spring Events

2 spring parties back to back during the Memorial holiday weekend gave me more opportunities to design outside the box.

African Lily arrangement

Designed this for a gentleman who wanted to give his wife a gift "for all she's done".  Very thoughtful husband.

Earlier Designs

Here are some some earlier designs which I created for events over the past several years.  With each design, I try to think outside the box and try to create something a little different from the last.

Holiday fun @ The Kleen and Adkin's residence

Dave Kleen and Tyler Adkins sure know how to host a party for the masses.  What a party full of energy.  I created a couple arrangements for the festivities.
White mums, bells of ireland and hot red roses filled this large white vase.  Pine branches of different varieties helped finish off this organic design.

Hot pink event for breast cancer

Each year CBIZ puts on a women's event and for the past 2 years the party was centered around breast cancer and awareness.   Several vendors showcased their products and a portion of the proceeds went to the cause.  This year the colors were hot pink and did the ladies dress for the occasion. Here are a couple of the shots of my florals.   Lon Lane's food was delectable and as usual, displayed like art.  And what a professional staff to work with.  Check out Lon's website inspiredoccasionskc.com

J Hathaway Shoe Boutique in Leawood showcased Ann Roth shoes. 
The women went crazy over these shoes. annrothshoes.com

IKEA holiday


On a recent trip to Minneapolis, this was one of the vases I found that makes for a simple floral arrangement.   Mark and Shelby wanted out of the vase section after a 1/2 hour...but I was in heaven.
