For this design, I have used a contemporary aluminium oval dish, with floral foam for the mechanics. It is designed to be viewed from all sides. All the flowers and foliage has been grouped for effect. The foliage I have used is Hedera colchica "Sulphur Heart", Heuchera "Stormy Seas", Rubus tricolor, and Hedera helix "Buttercup". I have also used some Bear Grass (Xerophyllum tenax), looped, and some of which has been brought down to link the pink candles in their glass candle holders to the design. The flowers I have used are pink Roses, pink standard Carnations, green "Yoko Ono" button Chrysanthemums, and soem beautiful white Dendrobiums (Singapore Orchids), which have a pink centre. Some Poppy seedheads (Papaver somniferum) have been added for a change of form and texture. |
