Nothing creates

more emotional

impact than flowers.

Through color,

shape, texture and,

the designers ability

to create movement,

flowers stir emotions

and create a positive

environment.

Lifting, inspiring,

fulfilling.”

C ITRUS fuchsiaVibrant and fresh hues compete to capture attention and

spread energy. The color palette pivots around raspberry and

bright pinks with citrus popsicle orange and a touch of bud

green and bright yellow that spike the look up. Passion and

energy merge with the bright colors of Gloriosa Lilies,

Craspedia, Zinnias, Gerberas, Colorful Chrysanthemums,

and Vibrant Roses. Vessels with clean lines in clear or colored

glass help define the look. Plastic or glass pieces can be frosted

or transparent but need to be bright and full of optimism like

the color palette of the flowers. Design accents of colored

aluminum wire, colored sticks, beads and bling emulate the

carefree heart and soul of the youthful optimism of this theme.

A leisurely tropical paradise, where mind and soul find relaxation

and renewal. A feeling of refreshing energy flows as this design style

sends waves of energy to all the guests. Oncidium spray orchids

create a graceful horizontal movement, giving the impression of a

soft ocean breeze. Perfect for placement down the middle of long

banquet tables. Narrow and long containers made of bamboo,

woven basket, pottery or glass keep the base of the design nice and

slim. The base is kept uncluttered and light, but weighted with use

of river rocks, sand, crushed glass or water pearl/ice. Acolyte LEDs

or candles embedded at the base provide subtle lighting. The style

can be expanded to any bright tropical color theme and can be

accessorized with smaller matching centerpieces.

P lantescenceVery modern and mindful, yet very organic theme appealing to

our eco-friendly yet fashionable lifestyle. With a sense of fresh

airiness and natural lightness this design style provides impact

with a feeling of sustainability and simple beauty. The color

palette as the namesake indicates range in all shades of greens

(from yellow green to blue green), white and natural earth

tones. Incorporating plants and greenery enhances the feeling

of natural beauty and reinforces our desire for a simpler, less

impactful indulgence. Easily accented with black and soft

metallics. Containers and accessories of clear glass, colored

glass and opalescence along with stainless steel, chrome and

champagne metallics are best.

CUL INARYcapersThe garden overflows with this natural and herbal theme,

exquisitely textural with a combination of aromatics from

herbs and flowers. Selections of herbs and garden flowers in

this table design enhances the taste of the meal and the

ambiance of the occasion. Pairing the flowers and the food

adds another gourmet dimension creating a magical experience.

A number of monochromatic color themes could be utilized

when used with shades of garden greens by simply selecting a

range of flower types you would naturally find in the garden.

Cut crystal or clear glass containers or its acrylic counterpart

can be lit up with LEDs from underneath to add impact and

stir the excitement of guests.
