OPPOSITES ATTRACT
Contrasting colors equal
high drama in this
sophisticated bouquet.
Surround burgundy coleus
with bright green Tiger Eyes
sumac and
H euchera
foliage.
A narrow-neck vase cinches
the stems together to make
a lush-looking arrangement.
Tuck in a length of purple
sweet potato vine and let it
trail down the side.
m a k in g a r r a n g e m e n t s
Add texture to your designs
by pairing delicate leaves
with more substantial ones.
Cluster two or three kinds
of foliage in a vase and add
a few longer stems for
height in the back. Limiting
each vase to a single color
makes arranging easier.
Treat leaves
just as you
woulc
flowers
- c u t
the stems on
an angle using
clean, sharp floral
scissors, then put
them in water
right away.
