Thanksgiving Centerpieces

I just found a few photos of some Thanksgiving centerpieces I did for the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, CA while working for Ornamento last year. We used rustic, twiggy containers, and filled them with fall leaves, gourds, seasonal fruits, mums, and berries.

Ornamento at Bouquets to Arts

Daisies at the de Young

Ornamento's installation for Bouquets to Art 2011 was created in the long triangular space right next to the main enterance. This space has long display windows on both sides, and can be seen from both the exterior courtyard and from the main lobby of the museum.

Inspired by the coming of Spring, we installed over 200 Gerbera Daisies, in a spectrum of colors. The colors began at one end of the long window with white, then yellow though orange to orange-red, then went from dark magenta through all the pinks to the lightest blush pink.

Museum visitors on opening day seemed very happy to see the "daisy field" a sign of Spring after days of overcast weather.

Ornamento at the Fairmont

Ornamento has recently taken over the floral shop at the Fairmont Hotel, and become their preferred florist for events in the hotel. The shop had a "soft launch" a couple weeks ago, and we expect to hear about about a big grand opening in the next month or so. 

The graphic on the left is a mock-up of the interior I did for a proposal to the Fairmont. They eventually  decided on a modern French studio theme and I'm sure it will look great.
