I often get quizzed about how I come up with my floral design color combinations.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy.\u00a0 I just go shopping!<\/p>\n
I make a regular habit of taking slow strolls around the entire farm in the evenings after all the crew are gone and all the major tasks and distractions of the day are done.\u00a0 I let myself focus on single blooms and pieces of foliage. \u00a0It\u2019s like shopping at the department store for that perfect outfit.\u00a0 Try this top on with those pants.\u00a0 Maybe this skirt instead with the top. \u00a0That\u2019s good.\u00a0 But now what about these earrings to tie it all together?<\/p>\n
Just like shopping it\u2019s best if I don\u2019t go into these color strolls with any agenda in mind.\u00a0 If I\u2019m hunting for something specific, I\u2019ll never find it.\u00a0 \u00a0So, I let my creative mind drift and toy with various ideas.\u00a0 I snip individual stems of this and that as I walk.<\/p>\n
After gathering an interesting collection of specimens, I get a small bottle to use as a vase.\u00a0 Then I play with floral design color combinations by trying a stem of this with a stem of that and paying attention to how each color plays off the other.\u00a0 Put a stem of dark foliage into the bottle and suddenly everything feels a little moodier.\u00a0 A touch of light blue brightens it up and makes it feel summery.\u00a0 The differences are subtle when in this small bottle format, but once applied to a larger design, each choice really makes an impact!<\/p>\n
I take some quick snapshots as I go along, so I can remember which color combinations I liked the best.\u00a0 It\u2019s nice to have these pictures to show wedding clients too, serving as inspiration for their full floral palette.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing what an evening stroll and a small bottle of blooms can inspire!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
