JOYFUL? Greens

[conchandler]

This customer (who happened to take one of my workshops and heard how helpful it is to know a bit more about the occasion/purpose for an arrangement to help the designer in evoking the right emotions) is looking for 2 vases (pronounced vozez) of holiday greens for her Christmas party buffet table tomorrow night. She wants them to be JOYFUL. Question: What can I add to make the Greens Joyful? Painted birch, ribbon, glittered ting? Any, all suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Consider hanging ornaments from the greens. Are the "vozes" colored or clear? If clear, you can wrap some ribbon around them. You can even "build" Christmas trees in the "vozes" if they are colored or ceramic. Very joyful!

Because Evergreen stems aren't very attractive, I was thinking of using Red ceramic vases

oh I like the idea of the Christmas tree thing

or a music theme, notes glitter branches

or candy cane/ribbon candy theme

Throw in some red berries and call it a day!

I'm partial to curly Australian pine. People react well to it because of the whimsical monkey tail-like shape.

I'd fill those voses with scotch (I'm pining for scotch)

Thanks, I don't have any, have never seen it, but will definitely look for it next year. Sounds really cool. The things you learn here....

After the day I had, I went for red, but put the cranberry and vodka in a glass! wink

This is the best picture I could find on the web of curly pine - it's not great. I'l try to take my own next week. http://www.growersbox.com/product/curly-pine-200-stems-340/?osCsid=7a72a000e5a25732f678aefbfabf7f1f

I like the red vases...I think they're "joyful"! I would add some red berries and probably some glitz...we have been selling anything glitzy this year. Sparkly gold, red, and green has been popular.
