Ladyfingers Letterpress, a wonderful lady-owned letterpress studio in Providence, RI that combines hand drawn calligraphy with perfect letterpress was hosting an open house to celebrate their new studio. Teamed up with RISD+events, I was invited to create the florals and help style the party.
The open house was being held in early February, a beautiful time of year in New England, but one when absolutely no flowers are blooming. Holding true to my goal of using only local, seasonal and sustainable materials, my solution was found branches. Curls of bittersweet, budding branches and woody bramble was arranged into tall table arrangements and a wall garland. Wrapped branches of neon twine brought a pop to the branches - the neon was inspired by Ladyfingers Letterpress's use of neon in their own work.
Below, Morgan and Arley's lovely work which inspired the use of neon twine. More of their work can be seen on their website http://ladyfingersletterpress.com/
