Floral Expression Stemware

In recent times stemware have taken on a persona, they are no longer just used for the mundane task of  providing liquid refreshment.  They have some how evolved into the extraordinary....expression stemware. How this happened? I have no real answer, but what I do know is guys and gals the world over are buying into the expression stemware idea simply because its fun.


You may ask what exactly is expression stemware? Well in my opinion, it's simply a  fun and creative way for individuals to express their personalities and interests on stemware.


I have created a line of floral expression stemware geared towards personalities, which make magnificent gifts for any occasion - bridal party gifts, birthday, anniversary, and corporate gifts.


Here is ''LADY TIGER"



The tiger lily is a true stand out, a spectacular bloom that signifies 'wealth & pride'. Make a statement get one for you or a friend. It will continue to bloom long after the real tiger lily fades.



Here is "TULIP PASSION"



Expressing the feelings of comfort, perfect love, enchanting beauty, and simplicity the tulip captures the essence of a woman. Let her know it. Give the gift of Tulip Passion.


And finally "PRINCESS DAISY"








Innocence, purity, and a love that conquers all, that's 'Princess Daisy'. This is a gift for the one seen as a princess; also a great 5th anniversary gift.

There you have it expression stemware....give a flower that will never fade. Have fun pairing them to friends and family. Check http://www.eddieshandpaintedthings.com/#goto=portfolio-shop for more options.

A Sunflower Affair

The Sunflower is considered the happiest of all flowers and means loyalty and longevity. It seems as though I am describing the perfect marriage.  No wonder the love affair that exists between the blushing bride and the warmth and happiness of the sunflower.  I too have a love affair with the sunflower. I've painted painted it on stemware, glassware and terracotta pots. 


Here I've painted both the stemware and decanter as an unfolding sunflower; the bumblee on the decanter is scooping down to taste its rich nectar.  For that touch of class simply add the entire sunflower collection to the head table at a sunflower themed wedding or even consider just using a few decanters as centerpieces at a wine country wedding. Having a rustic or garden wedding? Then add a series of these sunflower terracotta pots as centerpieces to help set the mood.






The radiant glow of the sunflower will forever beam its light in the hearts of the blushing bride and will always entice me.
