Beautiful ;)
What a lovely way to start the morning. I am on my way over to a museum-garden design project in the excavation phase, (mud!) – so I will keep these lovely images from your warmer climate in my head on this grey, raw, wet November day. Your arrangements look good enough to eat!
Happy thanksgiving, Michaela
i love these floreal creations! my favourite picture is the one with the fire place on the background.
Heard/read something yesterday about Asian bittersweet (vs. native) and how it is strangling other native species. Recommendation? Don’t pick it, don’t use it, definitely don’t put it out where birds can eat the berries and scatter the seeds. I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’.
yup, the arrangement with the fireplace in the background is my favorite too. The reflection of the chandelier in the mirror mimics the shape of the centerpiece.
Wow. These are all stunning, and that pink dining room is divine! I love the urns on the mantelpiece, the chandelier, the color on the walls, everything is perfect! The floral arrangement is so lovely, what a perfect combination of flowers, leaves and berries. Well done!!
sooooo pretty… such lovely inspirations..
I completely love the abundance of berries and fruit and the minimalist use of actual flowering blooms. What a fascinating solution for a green, sustainable design concept.
