Topiaries

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

I love topiaries! Versatile they are: short or tall, they make fabulous centerpieces. Caterers appreciate tall and narrow arrangements for the buffet tables, which make topiaries a perfect choice.  They can frame an outdoor ceremony site beautifully; and what a great welcoming decoration near the entry.

Dahlias

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Dahlias are one of the most popular garden flowers. Extremely versatile, the flowers can take on a great variety of different shapes, colors and sizes.

The dahlia was originally discovered by European adventurers in the 16th century in what was to become Mexico. In Europe a Spanish monk named the flower in honor of  botanist Anders Dahl.

Dahlias are in great demand for weddings and events during the summer and fall.

Dahlias are perfect for topiaries; lots of texture at the base in container covered with halves of baby artichokes

Buffet Table Arrangements

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Topiares are often great choices for buffet tables: they are tall and striking, yet they don’t take up much space. Sometimes the bride prefers a more traditional arrangement in a vase. If you selected a woodland theme, log arrangements look fabulous!

Tall blue delphiniums ‘grow’ out of a tall square vase, lined with equisitum; lots of texture – seedpods, fruits, grasses, alchimella and unusual foliage – decorates the base.
