Floral Design Spotlight · Jenni Bloom Flowers

Pale yellow and deep burgundy give this little flower group a strong contrast. Jenni Bloom Flowers separates a few light dahlia heads above a fuller, darker middle beside the studio window.

Lift the lightest heads into open space

The pale yellow flowers sit at several heights, including one well above the others. Their light petals are especially easy to see against the dark wall behind them.

Keep deeper tones near the fuller middle

Burgundy and muted pink heads gather closer together below the highest flowers. That concentrated dark area gives the lighter upper heads something to contrast with in the overall shape.

Mix round petals with longer pointed ones

Some flowers have neatly rounded surfaces while others spread more loosely with pointed petals. Their different shapes make the limited palette feel varied without needing lots of additional colors.

Try the idea in your own style

Try one pale flower above a darker little grouping. Compare it with the pale head tucked low among the others. Keep the version where you enjoy the contrast most, then leave enough room around the upper stem to preserve that clear shape.
