The modern aesthetic in floral design is an open ended term that is hard to define. However, loosely it may be said that modern designs place a priority on the shape of the final form. Curvilinear stems kiss stodgy stalks and both balance precariously inside post-modern Danish glassware. Some might say minimalist, others might say Avant-Garde... however you choose to define modern you can know that we are not talking about little fluffy balls of beautiful roses and charming peonies!
I do like the second picture (I think it's very charming and cute), but I would say overall that the modern look is definitely not my style. Also, I don't like calla lilies, for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteOkay - I think the modern look can be counted out. We could use some white/green kale which is very Earthy, but you really have to move whole-heartedly in this direction for it to be effective and not look piece-meal.
