This arrangement was meant to be a multifocal area rectangular garden-themed design. The rectangular part of the design got a bit diluted as the flowers I had to work with all came with graceful curves. The overall inspiration for this piece was the peace of winter with hints of the promise of spring. I chose a refined color palette of soft green, ivory and eventual hints of pink and purple when the flowers open to their fullest. I included the freesia and lilies for their fragrance so this arrangement will beckon to be examined more closely. I believe this design would be perfect for a late winter luncheon or rehearsal dinner.
