Life's journey... through our eyes

It has been a very busy week for us, from designing and creating wedding event decor to creating wreaths and decorating a laying-in-state. It certainly brings with it a whole lot of emotions... From joy and laughter, to a more somber and reflective mood.

With every event that we design and decorate, we realize more and more how our services impact life events - Baby showers, birthdays, weddings, promotions, 'just because', funerals... It is these events that give us pause, and remind us that everyday is a gift and that we should appreciate and maximize every minute of it. we should celebrate life while we can, and not get bogged down by things around us that we have no control over.

We certainly hope that you live life to the fullest, so that when you look back on your life many years from now you can smile and say to yourself "I lived my life the best I could... I did my very best"

We hope you all had a great week, and hope you have an awesome weekend!!! Cheers!

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) inspired wedding bouquet

When Will and Kate got married in 2011, we were all awed at how simply and elegantly put-together Kate was. Her wedding dress, flowers and bridal party were not over the top. Apparently, Kate had requested that her bouquet be "unpretentious, simple and natural" which seems to be a true reflection of her personality. Kate looked graceful and poised, a testament to how secure she felt transitioning into her new role as William's wife, future mother to their kid(s) and Britain's future queen.

Two years later, we find that brides are still inspired by her simple and elegant style. Over the weekend, we created a Kate inspired bouquet for one of our brides, and she loved it! Among the sea of colors at her wedding, her white airy bouquet created out of 'Baby's breath' stood out as simple, elegant and unique. 'Baby's breath' is used as a symbol of purity and being pure of heart, and was definitely a great choice for our bride.

While Kate's bouquet was created with more expensive flowers, it wouldn't break the bank to create a similar bouquet for the regular bride. We love this style, and agree that there is definitely something about understated wedding bouquets that exude an airy sense of simplicity and self-security. 

Cheers!!!

A plethora of THANKS to you - our fans & customers!

Decor by Christine's Creatives

If you are one of our facebook fans, you probably noticed that we decorated a wedding over the weekend. It was a beautiful wedding, and we were honored (as we always are) to be invited to decorate the event. 

As is normal with most event decor projects, there were situations that tested our resolve to 'make it happen' (we call it the Naija effect :) ). Thankfully, with all the experience we've accumulated over the years, it was easy to be patient, proactive and creative in dealing with unforseen situations and curve balls. The icing on the cake for us, were the many compliments and thanks we got from the guests and families of the couple.

In turn, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers, fans and customers who have supported us over the years. Your likes, comments, emails, orders and phone calls have kept us going over the years and we truly appreciate you. Without you we wouldn't be here today, and we recognize that. Muah!

Please feel free to leave us a comment or send us an email about ways in which we can make your experience with us even better. Our customers always come first! Thanks again and we look forward to many more years of service to you. Bless.

Flowers for the ones we love... in this life and the next

 Flowers for the ones we love... in this life and the next.

As florists, we know how important it is to express feelings through flowers. Giving flowers to friends and family when they are still around is a way of saying you appreciate, love, acknowledge and care for them. When they pass on, flowers are also a way to say, they may be gone (for now) but they are never ever forgotten.

Wreaths by Christine's Creatives Nigeria Limited

When a loved one passes on, people think about what they can do to symbolize their love for the individual that has passed on, while also acknowledging their grief of losing that person. For thousands of years, people across nationalities, race and creed have recognized flowers as a symbol of life, hope and love. Floral baskets, Casket sprays, Laying-in-state floral gardens, Casket floral blankets, Floral pillows and other floral set pieces are floral designs that bring color and a sense of hope to a laying-in-state or funeral service.

Welcome

Welcome to our first blog post on Christine's Creatives. This blog is not intended to be some super duper serious blog. In fact it's pretty much just going to be a combination of thoughts and information that we think may entertain you.

Floral arrangement by Christine's Creatives Nigeria Limited

To start with, we designed a silk floral arrangement for a client this past week and figured we'd share a picture with you. What are your thoughts? Do you like?

Our clients are always welcome to bring in their vases/containers and we custom make the arrangement to suit the event/location/taste of our client. This particular arrangement was for a church.
