Incorporating a variety of flower types is especially
fun when working with smaller pieces like these cocktail
arrangements. The gorgeous purple Dahlias are accented with White Hydrangea & Green Cymbidium Orchids, which result in a striking (color) effect!
This was the centerpiece design for a woman’s Birthday Party in Newport Beach. We were able to find the Hydrangea in that gorgeous periwinkle/blue color (hard to find this late in the Summer!). We set the arrangements inside antique silver bowls to enhance the romantic, soft & effortless look. We are seeing less of the BEYOND LARGE, over-the-top, structured & tightly packed arrangements, and more of the loose, soft & effortless arrangements set inside beautiful vases. Like in fashion, the “less is more” approach holds true for floral design as well. Gorgeous flowers hold their own, stripped of any crystals, feathers, etc., that often times are a distraction and take away from their true beauty.
