White flowers with green ivy is the theme for this week’s projects. This combination is a timeless combination that works well for most types of flower arrangements. The mixture adds lightness as a counterbalance to weightiness. Today the weight is in the form of heavy containers.

The very heavy marble urn is the base for a dramatic trio of Gerbera daisies. The composition is held in place by two varieties of ivy.
