Making It Special for Mom
GLOWING PURPLE
Long-lived and semi-permanent materials create a do-ahead showcase for mini callas, added at the last minute. Joyce used some grapevine cut from a coiled garland to create a wreath that surrounds the foam at the rim of the vase. She covered the rest of the foam with dyed Spanish moss, then added wired wool, beaded wire, and succulent rosettes. Fresh passion vine adds a swirling accent; you could also use a leafless green vine or artificial vine. This design offers exceptional vase life. 28 www.flowersandmagazine.com
