“She believed in living life to the fullest. She was everyone's favorite aunt, whether you were related to her or not, and her stories were endless. She was a walking encyclopedia of adventures, and her ability to pick up useful phrases in foreign languages was matched only by her talent for making friends wherever she went. She lit up every room. To know her was to love her, and to love her was to be along for the ride.”

The Designs

To celebrate this vibrant life, we designed bold, dynamic pieces with big, showy blooms, strong colors and lush compositions. We started with her favorite color, orange, and added other bright colors to complement it. We also included pops of black and white, a nod to one of her favorite travel experiences: seeing puffins in Iceland.

The floral palette

Orange free spirit roses, hot pink roses, hydrangea, scabiosa and touches of both black and white anemones and black and white gerberas.
