FLORAL DESIGNS

Design 294

This contemporary all-round table centre design has been made in a glass container, with floral foam for the mechanics. I've used some lilac coloured sisal to cover the foam around the outside. Foliage used is Fatsia japonica aurea, and Hedera colchica 'Sulphur Heart', For the height, I've used three lilac Gladioli. Other flowers used are lilac Dendrobium orchids (Singapore Orchids), deep pink Carnations, and pink Roses. For added interest, I've used two groups of three scented wicker balls. Each grouping of flowers and foliage is duplicated on the other side, giving visual balance to the design. I've also added a few balls of lilac sisal to repeat the shape of the wicker balls, and the colour and texture of the Gladioli and sisal. Finally, I've added a few glass nuggets to repeat the glass of the container. The design sits on a large mirrored base, with a smaller one layered on top of the larger one. More glass nuggets are added on the base to add interest and accent.
