Floral Design by Yukiko

Amaranthus, anthurium, orchid, angel ivy and harakeke floral design in two views.

So, one must be the front and the other one must be the back.  But which?

Oakland, California – March 2010

Early spring blooms of fresia, ranunculus, tulips, konfetti roses, forsythia make possible this happy birthday bouquet.

San Rafael, California – March 2010

Friends in Germany requested this special arrangement for a thirtieth birthday celebration in Marin – Yukiko’s design includes harakeke, ivy, leaves, and of course, 30 konfetti roses.

San Rafael, California, March 2010

For a special birthday in Marin, her parents called us from their home in beautiful Brittany.  A series  of telephone calls and e-mails set the guiding tone as soft yellow, spring, peach.   For this, Yukiko designed the bouquet below:   peach roses with a subtle accent of “wax” flowers, magnolia leaves, nandina leaves and Hawthorne foliage.

The tone is a reflection, a reminder of the daughter’s favorite flowers and colors as she was growing up.

BTW,  you probably knew this already, but I’ll write it here anyway: “wax” flowers are not wax;  they are real flowers with a waxy coating deep inside.
