Swimming Peonies


If I had the space to command such attention and the window overlooking the streets of Paris, I'd without a doubt purchase a gigantic clear vase and fill it with a dozen uncut, losely placed peonies.  I love how unkept they look in this presentation.  The key is to place the vase in front of a natural light source so that the water glistens in the sun and bursts of light peak through the stems.  This is a playful alternative to your standard flower arrangement.  Visually this is so appealing to me because it showcases the 3 unique tiers of the arrangement: light-infused water, dense foliage and plush peonies. Perfection!
