ornamental flair
Flowers and cording create a
floral version of a traditional Christmas decoration.
Novelty floral arrangements have experienced a resurgence in popularity in the past few years. This arrangement, which uses an iconic Christmas ornament as its inspiration, is sure to be a highly sought after seasonal special. A small floral-foam sphere, secured atop a foam-filled decorative ceramic container with wood picks, is covered with festive red carnations and punctuated with Berzelia berries, both of which offer long-lasting enjoyment. Winter greenery appears to cradle the “flornament” with a textural collar. A tricolored cord provides the ornament’s charming “hanger.” |
