Starting with a group of bronze containers, Kellie Jackstien, Owner of Artisan Bloom, created a high-and-low composition of flowers and candles staged on low-sitting cocktail tables.
“I love to layer complementary, side-by-side arrangements and nestle them together,” she says. “You get the wow-factor of a large arrangement and the texture and depth of lower ones.”
An abundance of eggplant-hued tulips, fuchsia anemones, hydrangeas, artichokes, sweet peas, budded lilacs and tight clusters of gray-green brunia berries flourish on a backdrop of chocolate geranium leaves.
“You have to choose foliage as carefully as you do flowers,” explains Jackstien, who selected the geranium leaves for their fuzzy texture and fragrance.
