Roses representing the Holy Family

[Rhonda]

Have a customer who wants a centerpiece of all pine with deco but only three flowers, 2 red roses representing Mary & Joseph and 1 white rose representing the baby Jesus. Anyone know if there is a specific
way of doing this? I am thinking the white rose in the center up over the two red roses (clustered clearly showing in the center of the design.
Any suggestions?

Mary's flower is the rose - hence rosary.

Haven't ever heard of a Nativity interpretation with flowers but my guess would be the 2 red roses tall and the white rose lower to signify a baby.

If I can remember back YEARS ago there was an arrangement that included all of the symbols of Christmas-pomegranate, pine, a straw star, a figure of the Virgin Mary, holly, perhaps 3 roses, juniper etc. I think it was from The John Henry Co. In the files somewhere at home I think I have a copy and there was a story that went with it describing all of the symbols. Will check tonight.

my take

joseph taller

mary a little shorter by .6

the white one for Jesus at the base

ummmm.....

Mary was taller than Joseph.....

 

[Rhonda]

LOL, well, my thoughts were similar...
Joseph tall of stature,
Mary smaller,
Baby Jesus cradled low.....

Mikey, you say she was taller??? hmmm motion pictures lied about her height?
Thanks all, will be looking forward to the pomegranet etc, that should prove interesting!!
