Fresh Flowers: A recurring expense for weekly replacements

A large floral arrangement for an entryway or lobby: over 1.2 meters tall, using seasonal branches as a framework, paired with a large quantity of a single type of flower—for example, thirty white peonies or a whole bunch of hydrangeas—forming a voluminous mass rather than a mere bouquet. The vase is large pottery or bronze, dark in color, heavy enough to anchor the flowers. As fresh flowers, this arrangement must be changed weekly, representing an ongoing expense rather than a one-time decoration. The flowers are in a state of being about 70% open, with a few petals naturally fallen onto the tabletop. Soft natural light. Avoid: using dried or artificial flowers, mixing many types of flowers to create a messy bouquet, a vase that is too small and out of proportion, cleaning up fallen petals.

一個玄關或大廳的大型花藝:高度超過 1.2 公尺,以當季的枝材為骨架,配上大量同一種花——例如三十枝白色的芍藥或一整把繡球——構成一個有體積的量體而不是一束花。花器是大型的陶或銅,深色,壓得住花的重量。因為是鮮花,這個陳設每週要換一次,是持續的支出而非一次性的裝飾。花的狀態是剛開到七分,幾片花瓣已經自然落在檯面上。柔和的自然光。避免:使用乾燥花或人造花、混插多種花材做成雜亂的花束、花器過小失去比例、把落下的花瓣清乾淨。
