How Do They Do It?

I think I’ve confided before that there is one part of floral design that I find elusive…difficult…frustrating…and that is designing a truly mixed bouquet. For some reason, I see flowers in specific color groups and have the hardest time breaking out of a tight color palette. Maybe it’s because I hate the mixed bouquets I see that appear to simply be the leftover flowers shoved together by some designer trying to avoid “wasting” them. You know what I mean? No rhyme or reason to the design and it just doesn’t jive for me…or worse, it makes me slightly nauseous. Then there are the designers who can combine many colors and textures into a bouquet that makes me cry with envy…and I have to ask, “How do they do it?” Of course, I know how they do it. It’s a GIFT…something not easily learned…just a talent that flows through the hands of these talented designers. So let’s look at a few…
