Here is an arrangement I made for home. I never thought I would like a purple and yellow arrangement - if you had asked me. I design intuitively, noticing the subtle blending from one color to the next on each flower. I love how the green allows the purple and yellow in this combination not to seem garish. Notice the subtle turn of shades from green to purple on the blueberries. If you are noticing the new background I am using for photos - it is a wonderful table I bought for the shop made of sanded reclaimed beams and iron. I love the rustic wood against the delicateness of the flowers.
top view of the same - blueberries, Karamel Antik roses, asclepias, poppy pods, ornamental oregano, and fringed pale pink/white tulips
and here is a much larger "get well" arrangement ordered by a client.
vivid coral dahlias mix in to give a cheerful and lush look
Subscribing to your blog in my reader is like getting flowers sent to me every day. Thank you so much for blogging.
