Floral Design by Yukiko: blog2

 

Ranunculus and tulips are hale and hearty this winter and I have used them in these three bouquets with seasonal branches and foliage.

Winter Bulb Flowers Bouquet with Birch Branches

Ranunculus and Lily Grass Bouquet 

Ranunculus and Harakeke Bouquet

This September bouquet gathers autumn colored roses with white phalaenopsis, green anthuriums and blue hydrangea in a tall design;   green equisetum (horsetails) emphasizes its height, and curly willow wraps the outside of the sturdy glass vase.  This varied arrangement expresses a fulsome presence.

The white phalaenopsis, off-center as it is, creates an eccentric touch to this robust and otherwise symmetrical design.

Calla lilies are so elegant in themselves, I have to be careful to choose seasonal flowers and foliage that will genuinely complement the calla lilies and complete the design.
I believe this recent bouquet is successful — what do you think?

I have begun using this design blog2 to publish images of my new floral designs — from photos taken just before they leave the studio, or in some cases at the client’s site.
This format allows us to publish larger images in continuous sequence of design. Also, they can be retrieved by Catogory– as listed on the right.
