The Green Vase Brightens Any Winter Day

We're a few months away from the blooming buds and vibrant flowers of springtime, so I thought that I would use the occasion of February 1st to highlight the spectacular work of Livia Cetti and her company The Green Vase . The Green Vase offers a seasonless take on flowers that can brighten even the bleakest, coldest mid-winter day.

Cetti's floral work, if you're not familiar, regularly appears in Martha Stewart Weddings and is sold in choice shops like John Derian. What makes Livia Cetti and her company so unique you're thinking, right?

Livia Cetti produces awe-inspiring floral arrangements and bouquets made of candy-colored crepe paper!

For all of us who were born with a black thumb, Cetti's flowers are perpetually bright, beautiful and need no care at all.

How gorgeous are these pieces of floral art?

If I had to choose, I'd gladly welcome the aubergine hollyhock arrangement above into my home.

Cetti's florals aren't simply meant for wedding editorials though, and can be purchased on The Green Vase website as well as at John Derian in New York. Chelsea from Frolic snapped these paper geraniums, which require extra-close inspection to see that they are actually crafted from paper and not created by nature.

Would you consider bringing one of Livia Cetti's expertly crafted crepe paper blooms into your home?

You sure know I would.
