Happy Easter

Say "Happy Easter" with non-traditional colors. I did use pastels, but elaborated on these colors to use their metallic and pearlescent hues as well.

The ceramic pots are made by Brie Ruais, www.brieruais.com, and are used in a decorative display or can be separated and used throughout the Easter event venue!

Since I was working with several different flowers, most of them pretty small, I clustered them to get more of a pop of color, but also to put the shapes of the flowers together like little clusters of colored eggs in the arrangements.

Several textures also make the arrangements interesting - whether floral textures or the textures in the vessels themselves.

 

 

Conversation Pieces

 

My clients had a small dinner get-together and they wanted smaller arrangements that would not impede the conversation. So we called this one "Conversation Pieces". They are low enough to not get in the way of talking to your neighbor across the table, as well as passing food and drink around the table. I really loved the color scheme we went for-lots of golds and oranges with the forsythia and freesia.

First Day of Spring

I love looking forward to spring. The tulips, hyacinths, crocus, all these gorgeous bulbs popping up in unexpected places just brings a smile to my face. Not only are they fragrant, but the colors they come in just illuminate the garden
