“What makes a good arrangement? In my opinion, it’s the placement of the flowers and how the florist allows each bloom to complement the others. It’s the negative space between, the way the flowers are placed to replicate their natural state and the consideration taken when choosing the colour palette. Even the details of the wrapping are important for a beautiful bouquet. How will it look sitting in a vase? There is a fine balance between carefree thought and over-thought.”

obsession “MY GREW TRYING TO FIND VASES... THE MORE collected, THAT I THE MORE I WOULD FIND NEW THINGS. CHINA, CRYSTAL AND CERAMICS, GARAGE SALES, OP-SHOPS, OVERSEAS… endless” THE LIST IS ~ MYRA PEREZ, MY VIOLET
