The Inspiration
Sculpture, The Madonna and Child
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: The art work that we selected is “The Madonna and Child” statue located in the main hall of the Anderson House. This is a medieval piece of art, with French or Spanish origin, that beautifully displays the Catholic Christian image of love of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. Paintings and sculptures of the Christ Child and his mother Mary are large part of the Roman Catholic tradition. Viewing this sculpture invites reflection on the purity of love between a mother and child as well as Christ’s everlasting love for us all. We are honored to grace this artwork with a beautiful floral design. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful sculptured elements and ornate finishing touches, our floral art piece will display a presence of grandeur and delicacy.
Recipe: Our signature style is an asymmetrical design with unique dried florals and varying floral selections to add texture. Bright colors and large blooms keep the eye dancing around the floral design with delight. Floral highlights include roses, spray roses, ranunculus, tulips, stock, snapdragon, lilies, orchids and a host of textured greenery.
