The new backyard studio is open! #holidayflowerarrangement
I got my Fall “on” yesterday, inspired by Trader Joe’s offerings. We don’t get much color change here in LA until late November, so this is a much needed reminder for me that there is a season called Fall somewhere in our country! #fallflowers #traderjoes
Practice in Purple. #dahliaseason #covidsummer2020

My biggest thank you, goes to my daughter, Adrienne, who was my floral assistant helping me prep, schlep, climb ladders, sweat profusely and place flowers in this wedding arch with a keen eye for design! I love you peanut! #goodeye #lovemyfamily💕 #covidwedding2020 #peanutrocks
The little touch of blue Tweedia is a delicate, perfect addition to the Bridesmaid’s bouquet. Take care when you condition her, use gloves and let the sticky sap drain in a vase of water before using. #bridesmaidbouquet #bluemilkweed #butterflyfavorite
Thank you @flowerschoolny for teaching me how to present my boutonnières so sweetly! #flowerschoolny #floraldesignprogram #covidwedding2020
It’s hard to see the subtle color differences in this photo, but they are beautiful in person...complimenting each other with gentle applause. #hybriddelphinium #calocalflowers #supportlocalflowerfarmers
Oh. My. “Romantic Antike” cabbage garden rose. It takes my breath away. #romanticantike#californiaflowerfarms
Thank you for helping Fleurette support your local SoCal flower farmer! #spreadlovewithflowers #socalflowers #socalflowerfarmer #shoplocalpasadena
Local ranunculus from the L.A. Flower Mart. These colors make me happy! #ranunculus #ranunculuslove
As you can see, I have been busy with succulents and Winter Formal!
I am crazy about these fresh floral cuffs. They work beautifully with succulents and are such a delicate, embellishment to the wrist. #weddingcorsage #freshflowercuff #floraljewelry
I just had to post this for my flower friends on the East Coast (you know who you are!) We actually got some real weather last night. Incredible sunset. It felt a little like the clouds were spitting on us, but hey, I’ll take it!
We chose from more than 600 garden roses to create a unique, large scale design. @flirtyfleurs
I had so much fun taking Alicia Schwede’s 3 Day Wedding Workshop in Oct, here in Los Angeles @flirtyfleurs. Lots of hands on lessons from bridal bouquets to wedding arch creations with more than 600 English garden roses. Thank you Quynh @pinkandposey for sharing your artistic eye and teaching us the many uses of paper flowers (who knew?) and your creative ideas for large installations. Many thanks to Caroline Tran Photography @carolinetran for your saavy social media instruction and the use of your incredible studio space in DTLA. Your lens captures a fresh, modern take on flowers! Can’t wait to share some of her photos of my work! #weddingflowers #floralworkshops #flirtyfleursworkshop #paperflower #carolinetranstudio
I am in flower love with this succulent corsage flower cuff I created for a special person for a fun night! No broken traditions here! Only honoring them and adding a little panache!#succulents #succulentcorsage #succulentjewelry #wristcorsage
I love the simplicity of this Selaginella Moss in a classic urn. It compliments and draws your eye to the true star on the wall behind it.
Welcoming the Fall season in The Brown’s gorgeous home. Time to make soup! #fallflowers, #flowers, #autumnal
After 12 years of owning our Mammoth Lakes, CA home and navigating our teens Fall back to school schedules, we never got to experience the Fall here in the Eastern Sierras. Times change! This was taken on the rocky road up to Laurel Lakes, elevation 9,500 ft.
Liberty House, London. I am in heaven!!!!
Had the good fortune to visit Kew Gardens this afternoon. Not a lot blooming today, the first of the daffodils, some gorgeous cherry blossoms, forsythia and some incredible majestic magnolias! #kewgardens #magnoliaflower #forsythia #cherryblossom
A natural Spring display by Bloomsbury Florals at The Covent Garden Hotel, London. Alliums, dianthus, astroemeria all in simple, spiral arrangements.
Thank you Èlan Flowers, NYC for teaching me the beauty of a spiral! Photography by CDPhoto
I was desperately trying to work with our pink/magenta camellias flowering in the garden this week in this centerpiece. The Los Angeles downpours have caused them both to burst into bloom, yet quickly wither and drop.
....or a captivating invitation to tango!
It is so much fun creating these small beauties. Delicate and small, they add so much vibrant elegance to a suit!
I’ll be creating beautiful boutonnières and corsages next week for Winter Formal! DM me @fleurette_studio or email me: alex@fleurettestudio.com
A make-shift Thanksgiving centerpiece in Kauai. #flowerseverywhere
2018 deFaria grape harvest. Think we can squeeze a good Cab out of these? Bumper crop this year!!!😀
This is my garage tonight! This is the sweet spot: where the visions of sugar plums are dancing in my head for tomorrow’s creations.
Pushing my artistic comfort zone this morning to create this piece for my Mae Arts Floral Studio Etsy site. Thoughts? #maeartsfloralstudio #fauxsucculents #homedecor

A gift for a new bride. Congratulations to Matt and Crystal!
Taking my dog for a walk and found these along the path. Figs are in season here in hot La Canada! Please share your recipe ideas! #figseason #figfruit #lacanadaflintridge
Monterey Bay Aquarium. A flower of the sea?
Surprisingly, bougainvillea thrives in this cool, coastal climate - everywhere I see them, I find them lush and hydrated.
Good morning Carmel~By~The~Sea 🐬
I had the pleasure and privilege of freelancing for CJ Matsumoto and Sons this weekend. Jesus created this stunning full, romantic arrangement for the lucky wedding guests. It had gorgeous depth and flow. Thank you, Deb and Chris! #cjmatsumotoflowers
