In James Farmer’s dining room, Stephen Sonnier of Dunn and Sonnier: Antiques, Florals, and Gifts orchestrated a symphony of peach roses, coral tulips, orange pon pon ranunculus, snowball hydrangeas, sea holly, and echinacea, along with the surprise of a deer antler. The mix of blues, reds, and yellows mirrors the “Tree of Life” wallpaper, and the abundance of flowers matches the maximalist design of the dining room. See James’s video tour for even more from the dining room.

In Ware Porter’s entry, Kim Starr Wise of Kim Starr Wise Floral Events used an arrangement of bright orange pon pon ranunculus to add contrast against the gray-scaled wallpaper. Along with the contemporary art pieces, the bouquet adds a bold pop of color to the space. See Ware’s video tour and more from the entry.

FLOWER‘s style director Amanda Smith Fowler envisioned the laundry room as a dreamy flower room. AnnMarie Meyers of Hummingbird Floral Studio brought the vision to life, filling this copper watering can with fluffy pink roses from Grace Rose Farm that perfectly complement the rose colors of the room. In the sink, ranunculus, snapdragons, and dahlias continue the abundance of blossoms. See Amanda’s video tour and more from the laundry room.

In Veronica Solomon’s butterfly-filled bedroom, AnnMarie Meyers of Hummingbird Floral Studio prepared a visual feast of flowers. In her arrangement, reflexed tulips, gloriosa lilies, and roses in orange and yellow hues shine against blue and white delphiniums and blue tweedia. More tulips in red, along with rose hips and butterfly ranunculus, add punches of red and bright yellow to the composition.  See Veronica’s video tour for more of the second-floor bedroom and bath.

To keep in step with the glamour of Arianne Bellizaire’s dressing room, AnnMarie Meyers of Hummingbird Floral Studio used metallic vases to hold the dramatic and velvety roses from Grace Rose Farm. The yellow and pink colors glow in the night-inspired space. See Arianne’s video tour for more from the dressing room and primary bath.

On Huff-Dewberry’s covered porch, Stephen Sonnier of Dunn and Sonnier: Antiques, Florals, and Gifts created a simple arrangement of blousy cream tulips and blue tweedia. The light color palette works well with the pastel greens and blues on the porch, and the simplicity of the arrangement complements Will Huff and Heather Dewberry’s bright, clean style. See Will and Heather’s video tour for more porch details.

In Megan Molten’s media room, Emily Eberwine of Pick-a-Petal Floral Design matched the jungle-theme energy with tropically-inspired compositions in a pair of tall, turquoise vases. The arrangements are rich with green texture from palm and palmetto fronds, as well as other foliage, with pops of pink gladiolus and anthirium, purple alliums, red and pink roses, and cascades of red and green amaranthus. See Megan’s video for more from the media room.

The powder room’s floating vanity allowed for a bountiful floral moment underneath. Rachel Cannon requested the floral designer bring the drama, and Stephen Sonnier of Dunn and Sonnier: Antiques, Florals, and Gifts met the challenge using planters that overflow with some of Rachel’s favorites, including peonies, poppies, anemones, and tulips. Watch Rachel’s room tour video for more from the powder room, mudroom and back hall.

Ashley Gilbreath felt that with the tall draperies, the living room needed a place for the eye to rest. She chose a large, sculptural urn.  AnnMarie Meyers of Hummingbird Floral Studio filled it with phalaenopsis and cymbidium orchids, hanging amaranthus, viburnum, Purity garden roses, ming fern, Japanese holly fern, and sword fern. The arrangement makes a grand statement while still matching the simple white-and-green palette of the room. See Ashley’s video tour for more from the living room.
