Purple Haze

From an outdated colour palette, the purples are breaking their way to the surface again as a colour of choice. Texture is key and the combination of downy hydrangea with the pointy tipped chrysanthemums only serves to provide a platform for these gorgeous indulgent colour tones.

Paired with our heavy set concrete and bronze dipped vase this piece gives a cosy wintery feel to this perfect interiors accessory.

Method

To keep the flowers secure, you can use a cut slice of dry oasis in the urn, by using a loosely packed ball of chicken wire, or by taping a grid system with pot tape across the top of the urn.

Think about height and texture when placing your stems to create interest. Don’t be afraid to create height and length. The beauty of faux is you can bend and manipulate the stems until you are pleased with a look or effect.

Cut and separate buds from blooms to work your foliage into usable pieces.
