Last month some awesome vendors came together at The Lab Event in Sonoma to showcase their talents and bring inspiration boards to life. Here are a few photos of how some of those vendors interpreted the Peony Pop inspiration board created by a Snippet & Ink reader…

I just love this sunburst invitation suite by Dauphine Press!

Gold and pink with pops of turquoise and orange played up the retro vibe.

Escape the winter blahs to Lumeria Maui, for a three-day floral master class with Ariella Chezar, floral designer extraordinaire. February 27, 28 and March 1, 2013. Download the flyer here.

I had the opportunity to attend one of Ariella’s three-day workshops earlier this year, and it was incredible to see her in action and learn from her. I can only imagine how fun it will be to attend this workshop in Maui!
