Inspired by the Sea

I am in phase 3 of my floral design class. Our latest assignment was to create a full table scape of your own design. The only information we were given was that the flowers would be green and white. The rest was up to you. My immediate thoughts were YES! I can finally bring my vision to life. It is often difficult to convey my true vision when confined by the stipulations of the instructor but this was my chance to show what I was really made of.

I drew my inspiration from different shades of sea glass, green apples and sail boats. Sounds that an unconventional pairing but that's me! The arrangements utilized the quite contemporary jade roses, classic cream vendala roses, baby green hydrangea and hypericum berries. I utilized a aquamarine charger with a classic white base plate to pull together the design. I engulfed the table in a white chord reminiscent of what you would find at any nautical destination. For a bit of pop I scattered fresh green apples throughout the table scape to accent the jade roses.

Let me know what you think!
