Though I have a hard time getting excited about a visit from the Easter Bunny - I do get completely crazy excited about all that blooms at this time of the year. The possibilities influence our design approach with everything - the emergence of color after a dull winter - the spring green of tiny sprigs. There is no other season that touches spring. Some of my favorite spring delicacies are the periwinkle grape hyacinths, double Angelique tulips paired with bright green Bells of Ireland. Rananculus is especially robust at this time of year too - amazing.
Bill over at the SLO Country Club asked us to "spring up" his Easter Brunch this year - and with hundreds of new ideas swirling in my brain - I settled on a fantastic idea that I gathered from renowned Belgian designer Nico de Swert. The brilliance - taking an idea or element that is old and gathering creative dust - and refurbish it - into something new and wonderful. In this case - the dreaded grapevine wreath. By mussing it up, adding some moss and some "egg shell" vases - it is a whole new fabulous thing... a nest - or in this case the base for a profusion of some glorious spring blooms.
