Floral Arrangements/Expert Profile
Expertise
I welcome questions concerning flower selection and identification, mechanics of arranging, style and color trends from contemporary to period pieces, and current techniques used in the floral industry. I can also direct you to resources for flowers and supplies not readily available in some areas.
Experience in the area
I've been a floral designer for over 20 years in the Los Angeles area. The entertainment industry here keeps us very busy, and has also provided me with very unique opportunities to create pieces for various eras and locals. I am experienced in wedding and event work as well as individual pieces for all occasions
Education/Credentials
This is very much an on-the-job training type profession, but I have found my background in interior design, particularly art history, has been something I've drawn from many times over the years.

2011-04-08 Calla Lily and Hydrangea Wedding Centerpieces:
Thanks for your question. For that size cube, one hydrangea should probably be enough. I don't know when your wedding is, but right now the white ones are very full, and even have long individual lateral

Groupings are a nice way to do something a little different. Since you are looking for simple and modern, I would suggest keeping the shape uniform. Cylinders are generally less expensive than squares
