One of the things that helps to make Ed’s designs so admired is that he is one of the few permanent botanical designers that still works with fresh flowers as well. Working with fresh keeps his eye focused on the most minute details of our permanent botanical stems – the perfect curve of a petal, the precise color, the size and shape of each individual leaf. Details that most would think are not important but work to make a phenomenal and lifelike finished product. Although he doesn’t have the time to design fresh arrangements often, he especially enjoys designing for special occasions.
Here are some photos of mantels Ed did this holiday season. Each mantel design is unique and a masterpiece in itself. The homeowner’s guests loved seeing how fabulous each mantel was and the mantels received more attention than the Christmas tree!
Ed used a variety of fresh materials including Magnolia Boughs, Incense Cedar, Silver Fir, White Pine, English Boxwood, Juniper, Hypericum Berry and Cymbididium Orchid Sprays. All three were designed on site.
Even after all of these years of growing up in the business, I am still amazed, inspired and incredibly proud of what my Dad can create.
My family wishes you the warmest of holiday wishes,
Kathryn Glenn
