Retro Plants

Bring back the 80s

There is a really fun trend in flower arranging involves taking big green house plants and painting geometric shapes that remind us of 80s style pastel apartments. These arrangements are being bought by hotels to be put in their lobbies. A great artist to look at for this is Sophie Parker of Wifenyc studio and she can be found on Instagram.
