The Inspiration
The garden façade of Anderson House features classical architectural elements carved in limestone, with replicas of the original green-and-white striped awnings.
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: Taking inspiration from the Mansion' Beaux-Arts architecture, where one can find columns and archways around entryways, I imagined a "floral entrance" to the house, creating a soft and romantic transition from the garden grounds to the interior. Nature is always at the heart of my floral designs. For an organic, garden-style effect, I decided to "de-structure" the installation and used plenty of garden roses for an harmonious result playing with color and fragrance.
Recipe: A variety of garden roses in a pink and peach palette, spray garden roses and other seasonal blooms, mixed with trailing foliage
