key flowers to consider
Exotic flowers, such as Proteas or Anthuriums, or
those which because of their form can masquerade as “exotic,”
such as parrot tulips, fit best in this look. Patterned leaves,
which seem almost handpainted themselves, also are important
here.

arranging tips
Flowers are
carefully arranged into intricate and sometimes woven designs to
fit the “Nomad” theme of handcrafting. Natural and handmade
embellishments are good additions to these arrangements |

merchandising tip
Create a miniature foreign bazaar in your shop.
Gauzy fabric draped from the ceiling can create a tentlike effect
within which florals can mix with bright textiles and other
collected items with Middle Eastern or African influences.
Enhance the mood by playing world music in the background. |
