Recently I was asked to do an arrangement for a little one-year-old angel named Lucy. Her mother loves owls, so we decided an owl-themed arrangement would be appropriate.
There are several choices when it comes to easle arrangements. In the end we went with a solid heart-shaped oasis. After soaking the oasis is preservative water, I was here...
Then I started adding flowers and greenery. The customer wanted bright pink and bright green. I emphasized the pink by doing a sash of bright pink roses.
I added in more of the green roses and the white lilies.
The finishing touch was an owl and love note. When the client came to pick it up I was lamenting to her that they didn't have a girl-colored owl. She suggested adding a bow and had left-over ribbon from something else the family had done. (Definitely one of those, "Why didn't I think of that?" moments!") I had recommended the card message and she loved it.
All in all I think it turned out cute and (as always) hoped it gave the family some comfort!
