Color: Do you like a mix of many complementary colors, strong contrasting colors, or do you prefer a tonal mix of the same colors? One color, two, three, or more? The best way to get an exact color match is to provide a sample. But, remember exact matching may not be possible. We can promise a close and complimentary tonal match. We often suggest using a variety of shades of the the desired color which is actually a very natural and eye-pleasing solution!

Texture, density and shape: Flowers and arrangements can be smooth, even, spiky, wispy, compact, or airy. What are your favorite flowers, regardless of color? Arrangements can be columnar, fan-shaped, tight and compact or have long trailing pieces. They can be designed with a definite front and back or to be viewed from all sides.

Size and Container: Where wil this piece be used? Will it be a focal point or an accent piece?
How big is the table, wall or door it will be placed on? How high are the ceilings? How full is the room? What other items will be placed around or near the arrangement? Do you want the container to be part of the overall image? If so, then what kind of container needs to be found?
