European style flowers

Vibrant colour and artful touches bring to my arrangement life even the flowers are artificial. Playing with bright scheme red and purple the coffee table centerpiece becomes attractive spot into a living room. img_4404

Flowers are neither modern nor old-fashioned in themselves, but some have certain associations. Any flowers can look modern used in right way. The key is keep them simple. In our case I designed in round shape. It helps to keep the silhouette clean, clear and united. This doesn’t mean minimal: some of the arrangements are actually quite elaborate. But if you are using many different flowers, or many little arrangements do cut down on colour- just one or two at the most with possibly a contrasting accent.  Usually peony associated with vintage look but in our case I placed the arrangement into plain a white ceramic pot that give it modern twist.

Timeless yet contemporary, the vintage look for interiors has never been so fashionable. And there are plenty of flowers that are the perfect complement for treasures and trinkets from time gone by. Garden roses with all spectrum of white, heavy-bloom hydrangeas with their greenish overtone and star shaped lilies I used for this table arrangement that makes it look fully glamour of Victorian style. Massed together, the dendrobium, cymbidium, freesia, lilies and gladiola would look gorgeous and fantastic into rich vase or with simple modern black container. European floral technique combined with American design where minimum foliage involved, replacing all decorative leaves with flowers. img_2262

Arranged in asymmetrical posies in tiny vase this arrangement can be only small just because each inch counted here.

Scent of white hyacinths is incredibly fresh, spring aroma fills up the whole room with their perfume.img_2339
