Bright Ideas

Happy May!


So I often get the question of "how can I stretch my dollar when designing?"  It's a matter of knowing how to use what you have and making less look like more.   That's exactly what I did the other day.  I didn't have that many flowers on hand, but I still managed to make an impactful arrangement.  I used the "scraps" that were leftover from a previous arrangement:  3 anemones, 3 calendulas, 1 small palm, a piece of a ti leaf, a handful of jade, hydrangea leaves, and a leuchadendron variety (recently spotted at Trader Joe's).  


The bold anemones and vivid calendulas are a perfect pairing

I made a terrarium-like base using sand, and the small cut materials


Pop of color


Remember to think simple and understated.  You don't have to break the bank to make an eye- catching arrangement.
