Joey-Lynn Curry loves all the texture and dimensions
that can be used and showing people flowers in ways
they've never seen before.
About her design, Curry shares:
"From the moment I received the beautiful garden
roses from Alexandra Farms, my mind immediately
channeled an intricate centerpiece combining both
dimension and texture. My goal was to accentuate
the roses while sprinkling in a few of my other favorite
botanicals. I wanted the arrangement to present itself
as a rustic yet chic and clean floral design, so I
incorporated elements such as Japanese maple leaves
and Japanese fantail willow branches. Once I chose my
botanical elements, I mimicked the dynamic motion of
the fantail willow by creating three large coils of OASIS™
Rustic Wire to swirl around individual Ranunculus stems.
Color also played an important role. I found it important
to keep the color palette cohesive yet distinctive while
allowing myself to be creative in designing an arrange-
ment that reflects the contest goals and my personality."
