Colorful Arrangement Provides Visual Excitement

Shape

The smooth symmetrical curves of the large urn are an extreme contrast to the flared arrangement of diversely shaped buds, fully opened blooms and feathered foliage.

Effect

The idea of this large, full design is to create maximum impact: these intensely colored flowers have many different shapes and textures that together create an impressive visual display.

Color

The strong pink glassware is complemented by bright reds and deep pinks. All are accentuated by the contrasting dark green color of the French ruscus.
