Reflecting Pool
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: Channeling the tranquil, reflective quality of the pool. Our installation will be interactive; Created for guests to walk through, and around, engage with, and enjoy from all angles.
Recipe: The blooms we have chosen will be intentionally clustered to help to highlight the beauty of each individual type of bloom. These will include Delphinium, Agapanthus, Allium, Aster, Mums, Blooming Pear Branches, Mixed Grasses and Greens.
We also plan to create a mixed media installation to include florals, fabrics and natural elements sewn together to aid in our portrayal of the movement of the water.
