I was at the Los Gatos Fitness Grand Opening/Member Appreciation celebration last month to promote my business. I brought this scrumptious design to attract people to stop and learn more about the services I provide. A lot of people stopped to remark with surprise on the arrangement and here are a few of their comments: "Is that real?" "Is that one of those edible designs?" "Wow! It's so unusual!" I think a lot of brides today are looking for something unique and different for their events. And I love to design pieces that make all the guests notice and start talking about the flowers. However, sometimes it's hard for a bride to know just what she wants. She might see photos she likes of floral designs in a magazine but wants something more than just to replicate the look. Or maybe she's not sure that that is the right look for her special day. That's where the floral designer comes in. I like to ask my potential clients to describe the feeling they want their event to convey. Should it be lively and colorful? Serene and tropical? Romantic and lush? Design does a lot to evoke a mood and so it is important to discuss what kind of mood you'd like to create for your guests. Green floral designs can be both calming and invigorating. Green is earthy and soothing, but it's also not your typical flower color. Florals in green can add that bit of surprise to your event and provide an unexpected source of beauty and wonder. P.S. Even roses come in green! And they are beautiful!
