Garden Rose
A QUICK AND EASY ELEVATED DESIGN FOR EVENT
WORK THAT IS LUSH, STYLISH AND VERSATILE

Lush and elegant garden
roses and spray garden
roses—like these stunners
from Alexandra Farms—are
the perfect stars for event
work. eir voluminous
forms, rapturous colors
and enchanting fragrances
provide inspiration for fl oral
designers and are highly
desired by consumers.
Elevated designs are oh so
fashionable (and practical!)
for event work, and this
versatile example can
be used in myriad ways.
It would be dynamite as
entryway décor, on a bridal
couple's "sweetheart" table
or head table, or on a place-
card table, but I created it
for a rectangular reception
table. Its height provides
drama to fi ll a large room,
and yet there is interest
at the table level—all
while allowing guests to
easily converse with each
other. And, because it is
a component design, the
individual pieces are easily
deliverable and can be
assembled on site.
