Making a Statement with Flowers


bloom boxx had the privilege of making a floral display recently for the Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park NJ.  Currently the gallery is featuring "Dark & Lovely".  Our color palette was inspired by the "Adam Wallacavage" Curio Wallcovering featured on the home page of Parlor Gallery's web site.  The flowers used here are black calla lilies, blood red spray roses, deep aubergine carnations, and pale blue/green hydrangeas.  To coincide with the show title, we not only used dark flowers, but we also invoked a macabre tone by incorporated dark feathers and wired twigs creeping all over the hydrangeas.    Flowers are indeed lovely, and they can also be fun and interesting. Never be afraid to incorporate non-floral materials into arrangements.

If you get the chance, you have a couple of days left to see "Dark & Lovely" at Parlor Gallery.  You can also see these works on their web site.  This Saturday, April 24th, Parlor opens their next installation, "Fancy".
