Let Love Bloom
For a charming yet casual Valentine’s Day arrangement, take a cue from floral designer Lindsey Taylor. Here, the purple anemones, yellow roses, red parrot tulips, and ninebark look like they’ve just been snipped from the garden. Kumquats reinforce the garden-fresh mix; if you don’t have access to them, let another yellow or orange rose drape over the edge.

“LETTING FLOWERS CASCADE OVER THE RIM OF A VESSEL GIVES A RELAXED ROMANCE TO YOUR LOOK.”    —LINDSEY TAYLOR, floral designer
Want to make a grand gesture? Re-create this romantic arrangement by floral designer Kristen Griffith Vanderyacht (learn more about him on page 108). A wide-mouth vessel holds a loose dome of ranunculus and open tulips, with a few longer stems swooping up in a slight arc for a modern, asymmetrical look.
