With the arrival of fall just a couple of days ago, it will be no time at all before the Holidays are upon us. Where did this year go?! How can the year 2020 be just around the corner??
The cooler weather has me daydreaming about beautiful floral decor for the Holiday Season. And I’ve sketched some pretty neat designs that I am offering this Holiday season. If you love the idea of something different for the Holidays I would be honored to create a custom piece for you.
Over-sized Holiday Wreath
When I was eleven years old and living in Hawai’i I dipped my toe into entrepreneurship for the very first time by selling my hand-made Holiday leis and Holiday wreaths around my neighborhood. Unique wreaths, as well as wreath-making workshops, have become very popular in the floral world in the recent years. And the modern designs I’m seeing online are absolutely lovely. Some are delicate. Some are wildly asymmetrical. Some are not even circular! And they are all amazing!!
I call this design my whirlwind wreath. Instead of following the curve of the wreath ring, all the foliage would spin out from the center. Keeping the metal ring is a toss up, but I kind of like the framework it provides without being too obnoxious.
This wreath design was inspired by my love for asymmetry and the idea of a living wreath, where entire plants (roots and all!) would live in the framework. You would just need to water and the wreath would slowly change shape as it grew. How neat is that? This sketch includes a wreath of white poinsettia plants and pothos plants, both neon pothos and manjula pothos.
Static Holiday Installation
This is probably the Holiday design that I like best. This specific vision would be created as a fixed installation on a wall, but we could also create a design that could be hung from the ceiling or planted on the floor. The shape that has been my favorite for some time now is the shape of a snowflake. They are just so lovely to look at! This installation would resemble falling snowflakes that would be created out of different greens – pines, cedars, and ferns. I included ferns because I thought it fitting for living here in the Pacific Northwest. I also included fairy light snowflakes, because as you know (or might not know), I LOVE fairy lights!
Interactive Backdrop
This last design was the one I had the most fun with in dreaming up and the one I envision people to also have the most fun with. Floral photo walls have become very prominent at launch events, company parties, etc. And how fantastic would it be to create an backdrop that people interact with. This design is a tribute to the Seattle winter weather. You could pose for a company Holiday party with a botanical umbrella under a cloudy sky of rain. Let it rain!
If you are just as excited about any of these unique Holiday designs and would love something for your home, your office, or you Holiday event, I would be thrilled to create something spectacular for you this season.
