Named for the island it was inspired by, Bora Bora is vibrant yet serene, suited for the quintessential summer girl. This design is perfect for the beach house or for anyone longing for escape to cocktail umbrellas and cabanas. It is intended to transport the recipient by extracting the colors from these lush, verdant islands – sea, sand, sun and, of course, palm trees. Subtle details include coral-like Celosia and the spiky sea urchin Dianthus. The flowers crash over the driftwood like waves washing away your cares. Cabana boy not included.
Flowers/materials featured: Holland Hydrangea, Gentiana, Yarrow, Trick Dianthus, Celosia, Grapewood, Mini Cymbidiums, Whaleback foliage, Beige grosgrain ribbon, Flexi grass

I really love the variety of textures used. The colors scheme is both soothing and a “pop” of summer vibrancy.
Beautiful!!! I love purple!! π
Love the contrast of the rich purple and vibrant yellow! I also enjoy the flow of the piece created with the flexi grass, makes me think of dolphins in the ocean.
U talented lady you ! You’re Pure genius !!! But Why is the cabana boy not included !!!!
Beautiful! Great job as always
I LOVE this arrangement! I recently have discovered and fallen in love with hydrangea and think how you present it in this is BEAUTIFUL! Wish you were in the northeast? π
Love the vibrant colors and textures. Just right for a beach house. Lovely!
I love your idea. Just remember that in an enclosed area, all those candles will increase the room’s temperature. Just make sure to request that the venue decreases the temp accordingly (I’m talking a couple of degrees at the most). Also, ask your florist if they have any one-use candles (these are candles that look new but were lit one time for a short amount of time). See if you can use/buy those for a discount. Most florists will do that. Good luck!
I voted for Bora Bora! Love the colors she used, Beautiful! Thanks for the chance! π
I love the color, movement of the piece with the grasses and of course love the driftwood piece! Really striking!
Gorgeous! Classic and chic! I almost pnlaned my wedding around tulips- my favorite flower. But I wanted a fall wedding. So in the end I left flower choices 100% up to my florist. I had no idea what I was getting until the day of and they were gorgeous!
What beautiful flowers you have here. Both the color yellow and blue are my favorite so I’m really happy to see this. Your arrangement is also very gorgeous. Are these for sale?
I agree with Layla, they look fantastic.
Sounds so pretty! Love what you have in mind :)I knew I wanted winter so we did Februar. I didn’t give the flowers a thought until we met with our florist- we lucked out that some pretty ones were in season (I know we had ranunculus but I’m blanking on the rest!) and our florist did a gorgeous job π So smart to think ahead if that’s important to you!
