Lecture at the Washington Garden Club
The topic was trends in floral design, and I’d brought some
amazing materials to work with. Roses, peonies, ladies mantle, cock’s comb,
green and white hydrangea, lisianthus and Bella Donna delphinium were the
undisputed stars of the afternoon.
We played with a number of ideas, from container selection,
to palettes of color and texture perfect for the season ahead. We created
everything from a table centerpieces of varied white flowers that would be
perfect at a summer wedding, or a fiery of orange and green mélange of flowers
with tangerines as accents that seemed to cry out for the sounds of a Cuban
bans.
One again I reminded people that simple seasonal
arrangements feels right at this time of year, whether it’s this ethereal
delphinium arrangement with a collard of ladies mantle, or lush peonies grouped
in glass containers of three.
Hope I inspired everyone to be creative.
