The Chapel Designers never stop inspiring me. While in NYC a large group took a compote floral design class at the
Flower School New York with
Ariella Chezar. After a few days of being home twitter was a buz with information and questions on finding the perfect compote, black, white, silver, brass, you name it we all wanted to get our hands on more compotes. So about a week ago we were all so excited to see that
Martha shared our love with the compote as well, and raved about how they lift up the flowers to the perfect height and created a lush shape for a round table.
Isha Foss of
Isha Foss Events threw out the idea that we should all create a compote design and all post our design on the same day. That day is today! The flowers in my design are from my garden and are designed in a pewter sugar bowl that I found at a yard sale years ago. It's small in scale and fits perfect on my living room coffee table. I almost didn't attempt this design since I had just returned from vacation and was worried I didn't have flowers to use but with the encouragement of all the other Chapel Designers posting their amazing designs I felt inspired to go out in my yard and find beauty in what I had to work with.
