In the incredibly grand Bibury Court, set in the heart of The Cotswold’s, the rambling gardens so wonderful, half my job was already done. Romantic and loose, the flowers helped create a pathway to guide guests from the Church and through a gate into the walled gardens. The archway over the church door was full of fragrance and color, the freesias gently nodding their heads in the breeze. I wanted to create the effect that it had been there for some time, establishing itself on the ancient wall.

A balmy August day in Chicago, prepping for this event at the top of a high-rise, looking north up the beaches of Lake Michigan is still so memorable. An eclectic mix of dried and fresh blooms, succulents, and foliage, the final result being these bright, textural color-popping arrangements. Designed to fit the eclectic style of RM Champagne bar on Randolph and to last for a family event the following day; they were designed to be places with ease, with the idea was that each arrangement could work with any other, like a simple jigsaw.
