“A stylish, modern alternative to the traditional dozen-rose arrangement for Valentine’s Day and beyond.”
From the creative “flower-noir” mind of John Regan, M .F. A ., Ph.D., owner of Twisted Stem Floral Design in Crystal Lake, Ill., comes this sophisticated topiary-inspired arrangement for Valentine’s Day – a quick- and easy-to-design alternative to the traditional dozen-rose arrangement. Great for production-line assembly utilizing less-skilled flower arrangers, this design is also space efficient and delivery friendly.
As is often the case with fashion design, the styling of this “haute-couture” composition fuses architectural interest with romantic expression. In addition, the distinctive hue of Suntory Flowers’ ‘Applause’ roses, paired with free-flowing pink jasmine – which adds dimension to the otherwise vertical design – bring color, fragrance and a more youthful vitality to this modern take on the classic valentine.
Beyond Valentine’s Day, this minimalist design idea is applicable for occasions year-round, from party centerpiece to home and office décor – even get well and sympathy, and can feature myriad other flower types.
