Natural Arrangements
I recently hosted a luncheon at the Four Seasons in New York City to celebrate the launch of my Wholearth Beauty and Bath line. I'll share pictures from the luncheon with you soon right here on the blog.
One thing I had so much fun doing was creating aromatherapy arrangements for the table centerpiece that didn't involve using any flowers at all.
I just used an assortment of dried moss, red and white seaglass chunks, raw wood silhouettes (hearts, peace signs, leaves), Indonesian river rocks and a slice agate stone on the side. All of them were sprayed with the fine fragrance from the Wholearth line (it's USDA certified organic!) and left to sit on the table and perfume the air gently.
The materials were so easy to find and inexpensive, which I think is key when doing a large event. I'm thinking of doing a very large aromatherapy arrangement like this for the master bathroom of my house. Might even make a nice gift!
Stay tuned for more pics from the party…had a great time and I'm glad all the editors and store buyers had a chance to preview it. Can't wait to share it with all of you!
Love the arrangement. You have inspired me to make one using bits and pieces from nature (all collected sustainably of course!). Cheers, Tricia
I love the agate slices – they are so beautiful. I think I will take a walk today and collect some pieces of nature and make arrangements.
Perhaps seashells could be added to your beautiful, natural arrangements. They come in so many different colors, shapes and sizes. I find strolling on the beach and picking up shells to be incredibly peaceful. Adding shells to a collectible bowl, placed in the bottom of a vase or added to an decorative arrangement could be the perfect touch!
You usually can do no wrong in my book, but this one is a bit of a miss for me. It’s just too much of too many things. Did you consider maybe just going with one type of absorbent material (moss, wood) with one type of non-absorbent (rocks, glass)?
