Orange, Orange, Orange
For exuberant flower lovers, orange is a real crowd
pleaser. A number of my clients
are opting for shades of orange, in monochromatic or strongly contrasting
floral arrangements for a number of striking effects. Here are some centerpieces that will catch your eye:
These flowers are truly sumptuous… for centerpieces as well
as bridal bouquets and aisle chair posies:
Orange, grey and white flowers, by the way, is one of this
year’s favorite mixes…But orange is also spectacular with purple, chartreuse or
hot pink.
Recently I created the floral designs for a party at the
Washington Club. Party
Coordinator, Dana Schulman selected orange colored tablecloths and it was my
job to come up with a creative idea for the centerpieces. I selected pincushion flowers mixed
with an abundance of grevillia…arranged in birch bark containers. The flowers matched the tablecloths
perfectly and the fringy grevillia conjured a woodsy feel. I decorated the shelves mounted on the
surrounding walls with swags of dried bay leaves and birch bark of varied
shapes and sizes. Tables and
shelves were backlit with pretty glass votives. I left feeling quite sure that in this setting the guests
would soon be engaged in lively conversation.
