The Colors of India





This week we got a floral order for an Indian luncheon. I wanted to create arrangements that reflect the rich hues of Indian culture. I became more familiar with this rich and diverse culture through my youngest daughter’s travel stories. She spent a little bit of time traveling throughout India last year and she shared with me a lot of stories and pictures. These photos and stories allowed me to vicariously travel through this colorful country with her. Her photos had so many vibrant hues of orange, pink and saffron in them that the people and things in the pictures seemed to come to life for me. Because of this, I wanted to create very lively arrangements that reflected what I saw through her travels.
