Having Fun with Flowers: Design Workshops, Special Event Florals
I love orange roses . . . the last opportunity to design with fall colors including sunflowers is around Thanksgiving. This is the last hurrah for orange roses and foraging in the yard and garden for rose hips, green plants and branches.
The Fantasy Christmas House is a fund raising event held each November in southern Wisconsin. The home is decorated for the holidays by local florists, designers, and vendors. It includes a Hall of Trees where decor and wreaths are donated for a raffle. I designed the Sunflower Tree that highlighted deep red sunflowers, pine cones topped by natural ribbon bows, bird nests and handmade bouquets of lotus pods and eucalyptus branches. The proceeds from this event benefitted the Ronald McDonald House.
