CMC Design has designed floral arrangements for over 20 years for weddings, parties and corporate events. This piece was a thank-you to a special client who donated her time to the CMC effort. She has a rich personality and loves sumptuous textures so I wanted to create something elegant and somewhat extravagant. I picked the fall grasses and millet as the mainstay center of this piece and took the color pallet from the millet. From that burgundy palette I picked other flowers and grouped them in clusters so they would stand as clumps and create a texture unto themselves. The greens of the kale and hydrangea act to step off the darker background reds and pop in the front.
The container, chosen to accentuate the natural and somewhat wild aspect of the arrangement, is made up of wood rounds tht are attached to a solid fiberglass pot that holds water.
The final touch is a personal card that is created from a rendering of a pear that I did in my journal and photocopied and then colored with pencils once again in the same burgundy color palette.
