Amy Osaba Arrangements in Silver

Using interior designer Betty Burgess’ house as a picture-perfect backdrop, this floral designer arranges classic flowers and foraged materials in antique silver containers

“There’s something quite nice about complementing an antique silver piece with flowers that are graceful and alive. Creating a balance between the resilient silver (oh, the stories she could tell) and the ephemeral flower is a beautiful thing.” — Amy Osaba
