It may sound funny, but some of my greatest inspiration comes to me while I am driving to work! As I drove into work this morning, I noticed the sun peeking over the snow covered branches of the trees. I thought to myself, “What a beautiful scene! I would like to capture this feeling in an arrangement.”

I found myself thinking about how to create the feel of winter with fresh cut flowers. I visualized the snow and imagined arrangements of flowers in shades of whites and creams, like a fresh and crisp snowfall.
I also pictured natural accents such as birch, pinecones (frosted are my favorite) and lotus pods, which reminds me of the barren landscape all around us. Even berries (Winterberry, seeded eucalyptus or hypericum) add a splash of color and/or texture that enhances the overall winter look. We offer several options in monochromatic arrangements for a variety of occasions.
