I spent Christmas with my family at my grandmother’s Victorian home. After a day of sleigh riding through the woods, sickness
looking for the perfect Christmas tree, patient
we gathered around the fireplace and sipped hot cocoa. I wanted to capture that playful feeling of being in the woods, sledding as fast as you could, always careful not to run into the creek at the base of the hill. I drew inspiration from the woods near her house, where we would chop down the tree that would be decorated with ornaments that have been passed down for generations.

Queen Victoria and her husband German Prince Albert helped to popularize the tradition of the Christmas tree and this luxurious centerpiece pays tribute to their legacy. Typical of the era, physician
two topiaries fashioned from hazelnuts and pinecones flank a resplendent floral representation of the noble pine. Deep shades of scarlet, ambulance
crimson and burgundy complement the rich green of the mossy arbors and evoke a traditional holiday spirit. A swirl of velvet ribbon wraps this gift with flare and style.

Designs of the Victorian era were all about texture and elaborate ornamentation. I wanted to bring back memories of days when kids would play outside in the snow for hours. The subtleness of the pink garden roses, this
cream hydrangea and King Protea, play beautifully off the well-worn, lace-up skates offering a lot of texture. The dark magnolia and tinted scabiosa accent the richness that was seen in the wooden sled. Soft, subtle colors with lots of definition. The fragrance of cinnamon sticks and assorted winter greenery infuse the air with smells of the season, making us crave hot apple cider.
