Cheerful holidays wreath

Wreath is an important symbol of the Holidays season. Who does not wants to hang a gorgeous wreath at their door to welcome family and guests during the festive season. A wreath can also be beautiful on a table with a candle or hurricane at its center. The holiday wreath I have created is made of golden eucalyptus, noble fir, red berries, cypress and some Alder trees pods. It has a luxurious gold and red look that will for sure dazzle your entrance door.

The process of making a wreath can be quite painful for your fingers ... but the result is so worth it. This wreath if kept outside will look stunning for at least 3 weeks.

Noël élégance

The holidays are around the corner... The most exciting time of the year for me! To start the season, I have designed this elegant candle holder arrangement in a silvery tone. The beautiful and antique candle holder goes really well with "Juliet", the peachy english garden roses from David Austin. These roses comes with a high price tag, but they are so fragrant and elegants, that the splurge should be allowed without remorse. Plus, they are grown here in Southern California, making them a green flower.

According to the Florists' Review Christmas Trends 2012, Noël élégance is one of the biggest trend of the year. {The sophistication of a French chateau combined with the vintage charm of holidays gone by.} This trend includes vintage or vintage-looking candleholders, champagne flutes, vintage crystal an glitter, and shimmering metallic wrap. To me, this arrangement beautifully portrays this Noël élégance theme... Only champagne is missing!

Luxurious winter textures

Textures and colors are the most important elements in design to create a visual appealing composition. For this winter, I have imagined a luxurious combination of Avalanche roses with the Uber trendy Dianthus barbatus Green Trick ‘Temarisou’. To give more rhythm to the composition, I also have included some stars of Bethlehem and winter berries in small glass tube. {A very European touch}

I have also included a simple hand-tied bouquet made with Dianthus, stars of Bethlehem and Avalanche roses. I love this combination of texture.
