Paris, Susan style!


While in Paris, several weeks ago, I wandered through the most delightful florist shop and was inspired by several interesting designs. I noted the designs in my idea notebook for future use.


Lucky for me (!) one of my clients asked me to design fresh floral centerpieces for her holiday party this year. Take a look at the selection of fresh floral that I was able to get my local supplier to bring in for me! Just like Paris!


Red, yes, red hydrangeas with delightfully Christmas green accents!




Remember, I talked about these baby floral kales that we found in the Parisian floral designs? Well, I got them too! So cute. So stylish.


To carry the holiday theme through, I am also using these crisp white and red roses.


In addition, I have the red and white amaryllis (not photographed, as they are still in the opening stage)...I'm praying that they open tonight while I sleep!


I added these lime green kermits for a little pop to the mix, along with medium monstera for drama.


Tomorrow is my design day. I'm looking forward to it and will post my holiday designs soon!


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, indeed.
