Yesterday was a perfect day to work with flowers and a busy one at that. These below were arrangements donated for a special French style evening of dining through the Art Council's benefit last year. Hyacinth, lilac, dusty lavender spray roses, frayed red parrot tulips, French double lilac, seeded eucaliptus...it looked lovely on the dinner table atop a hadnstitched tablecloth.
this was the coffee table piece, in complement to the centerpiece yet different and with its own sensibility; featuring burnt orange spray roses, white hydrangea and green viburnum, plus charming greenish orange inside perfectly round parrot tulips.
Gentle and delicate plum blossoms don't really show on the photo, but they were wonderful to work with. This arrangement for the bar has hybrid translucent purple hydrangea, french parrot tulips, lilac, oncidium orchids and a touch of French lilac to tie it all together. Black river stone at the bottom of one of my favorite vases grounds nicely such a top-loaded arrangement in a tapered vase.
