have been inspired by the Japanese symbolism of color when creating this design. According to Henry Dreyfus, the word for red and white, Kohaku, is pronounced as one word in Japanese. Ko means red, while haku translates as white. Their use together immediately signifies happiness and celebration to the Japanese viewer.
Terrariums can become an incredible source of inspiration in floral design. Usually used to grow plants, they can prove to be quite a nice and "high style" way to display beautiful blooms. That was my main inspiration when creating this design in a glass hurricane. I chose a mix of nice winter greens with different textures: noble fir, princess pine and seeded eucalyptus to create the base while 3 Dolce vitae roses and an ornamental kale create 2 focal points. This is a true European style design in the sense that the green materials are carefully selected for their visual appeal, and are an important part of the design, not just creating volume.
To celebrate the start of the Hanukkah holidays, I have created two arrangements that are using the blue and silver colors usually associated with this celebration. The large centerpiece is designed on a ceramic tray of silver color. With its geometric pattern, this tray gives an edgy and modern look to the composition, and will have many more future applications in your decor. To contrast with the light blue hydrangeas and white carnations, I have used some super green roses that are creating a stunning focal point in both designs. The interesting shape and texture of the silver and pod eucalyptus are completing these creations.
