san francisco: rose and radish

I visit the lovely Rose and Radish blog periodically for a fresh blast of West Coast modernism. Next time I'm in San Francisco I'll definitely be attending one of their themed installations of art and craft items mixed with home wares and flowers (images from the Woodland show below).

Guess what? The talented floral people at Rose and Radish also do daily flower deliveries and events. To see behind the scenes (even more), check out Jill's blog small stump. In addition to working for Rose and Radish, Jill makes and sells nature-inspired goodies on her website, but get in line if you want some of the birch-bark vase covers or cute little mushrooms!

california floral designer: sillapere

Sillapere truly is "a design lab specializing in events and environments", as the website says. Flowing, glowing tents, sophisticated lighting and fun floral design springs up wherever Sillapere goes... Looking at their events I get the feeling that the artists and designers that work with Nicole Sillapere are having too much fun - and in fact when I emailed the company a while back for help in sourcing flowers for a friend's wedding, I got many enthusiastic responses. So they're incredibly nice and helpful to boot! Check out their website for some dreamy inspiration.
