Beach Inspired Flower Arrangements

Can flowers evoke an escape to the coast? These designs by Christina Springfield of Nouveau Events and Flowers bring home the summery vibe of the surf, pools, and vistas.

Venus Emerges

‘Carolina Sapphire’ cypress foliage, cymbidium orchids, muscari, and sweet peas fill a shell on the shore’s edge, recalling the famous Botticelli painting of the goddess of love.

Poolside Pair

A simple arrangement of anemones and muscari can take the heat.

Windswept Style

A statuesque pedestal dons an asymmetrical crown of Cymbidium orchids, echeveria succulents, flaxleaves, hellebores, hydrangeas, and pieris.

Lush and Luxe

As if the bride will be right back to claim her bouquet, an arrangement of beachy blooms gets a splash of refreshing water from the fountain. Materials include ‘Carolina Sapphire’ cypress foliage, cattleya orchids, echeveria succulents, fringed ‘Aladdin’ tulips, hydrangeas, and phalaenopsis orchids.

Ocean Blues

A symphony of clematis, echeveria succulents, grape vine root, hydrangeas, pieris, and yucca poles set the mood in a bower of palms and breezy white linen.
