High–Low

Thursday, June 14, 2012


Normally I gravitate towards low, lush arrangements and skip towering columns of flowers–but I'll make an exception for this dreamy combination of prep and polish! Hydrangeas, roses, ranunculus–it's an over-the-top look with understated flowers that's the best of both worlds! 


What's your preference–table-skimming arrangements that encourage intimate conversation, tall bouquets with plenty of drama, or a combination of both?

  1. I agree - I usually also prefer lower arrangements, but love this one (those colours!) and the white vase.

  7. Very pretty indeed! I prefer lower ones, but I also adore tropical flowers and some of those are very long stemmed arrangements. xx

  9. We did little vintage brass cups of all varying heights and added simply arrangements. Everyone could see across the table and the table still looked full.

  10. reminds me of wedding crashers: "I could go with a tall tapered arrangement of freesias and orchids, or I could go with a votive of roses and lilies- I don't know." (sad that I just quoted that. have seen that movie one too many times!)
