Valentine ~ Original 6 foot tall bouquet by Yukiko sets theme for buffet at Smith Ranch Homes

Tall quince bouquet shown above is installed for Valentine’s  in Smith Ranch’s high ceiling dining room, on a buffet counter top — soon to be surrounded with trays of food and beverages.

In homes with regular ceilings, 5′ or 6′ bouquets are often positioned on  large coffee tables.

Either way, Yukiko’s tall designs establish the theme and tone for gatherings of friends and parties.

Oak branches, moss, holly, oriental lily, leucadendron, pine cone, pomegranate express the silver elegance of nature in winter.

Centerpiece for winter dinner party is designed with pine needles and cones supporting oriental lilies and silvered magnolia leaves.

Yukiko designs floral themes for dinner parties and special events, in which the centerpiece sets or reflects the tone.  Selected centerpieces are shown on her website.

Basket ikebana of Japanese pine needles, oriental lilies, chrysanthemums, magnolia leaves and branch rises from earth, reaches upward.
