Floral Trends

Use stripes of all colors and sizes to jazz up your displays and designs.

Trends from the fashion world often filter down and become trends in the floral world, and stripes are a perfect example. A colorful grid is formed by adhering electrical tape around and over the top of the vase, creating vertical stripes on the sides of the container. By overlapping some lengths of tape, stripes of varying widths are created, and when combined with light-hearted blooms such as Gerberas, striped designs become happy reminders of how festivity never goes out of style, while the soft Freesias and more unusual pincushions (Leucospermums) add visual interest and texture.

MATERIALS: Square Vase from Syndicate Sales; Freesias, Gerberas, Leucospermums and electrical tape from favorite suppliers; Stylin’ Mom Purse SuperShape™ from Anagram International Inc.; Pink Rendez Stripe wrapping paper (SAP2882) from Nashville Wraps, LLC; clay vases (978580) from Flowers, Inc.
