Sense of Place

Was excited to provide flowers for a dear friend’s baby shower this weekend.   I considered the mom-to-be and all inspiration on hand.  I settled on a very simple mix of hydrangeas that would find a sense of place in the host’s home, which is traditional and very southern.  The fern (which grows wild in my yard) lightens the hydrangeas providing a sense of movement.  The take-aways?

  • As I am constantly reminded, buy vases you love.  I am of the mind that you can never have too many.  Consider the brightness and form provided by the aqua vessel below.  If you like, buy it; but, never spend too much. They are merely vessels!
  • Consider the setting (Occasion?  Decorations that surround?) and let the flowers do the work.  They are beautiful on their own right.

A few of the arrangements…
