Celebrating Spring

The dogwood branches have finally arrived (and a little early this year, too!) We’re celebrating spring the best way we know how, with gorgeous spring branches. Dogwood, cherry, prunus, and lilac are some of our seasonal favorites. Whether alone in a large tall vase, or added to a springtime mix as shown here, spring branches add an airy sophistication to floral designs. This combination uses dogwood, fringed tulips, hydrangea, stock, ranunculus, and parrot tulips.

Floral tributes

This tribute wreath was created for Memorial Day with a red, white and blue theme. Tribute wreaths and sprays can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes. The color palette chosen often reflects in some way the person the design is in tribute for. The standing sprays shown below show three distinct color palettes. 

Color study: bold and bright

Standout color is the theme of this arrangement. A mix of fuchsia dendrobium orchids, purple vanda orchids, liatris, pin-cushion protea, and burgandy oriental lilies makes for a big, bold color statement.

White wedding corsages

White is by far the most popular color choice for corsages in wedding and formal events. Flowers for corsages need to hold up well outside of water. Our favorite corsage flowers include: roses, spray roses, freesia,  orchids, mini calla lilies, and lisanthus.

Peachy keen

Springtime is also the time for soft pastels. Here’s some recent arrangements in soft peach and pink tones with mixes of standard, garden and spray roses. Click on "Read more" to see more pictures.

Bursting with color

We’re so ready for springtime, aren’t you? These sweet, small arrangements are bursting with colorful springtime favorites such as hyacinth, anemones, ranunculus, and tulips. Rounding out the mixes are trix, roses, hypericum berries, freesia, protea and heather.
