My "Cheeseburger Method" for Color

I never complete an arrangement without it!

I’ve worked with a lot of florists over the years and they often ask me how I think about and use color in my flower arrangements. There’s one color principle I love to start with and it always works!

I never let an arrangement leave the flower studio without using the “Cheeseburger Method.”

I adopted this method when one of my early mentors insisted that any arrangement we made as floral designers should look like “I want to eat it.” At first, this sounded crazy, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what makes certain food look so appetizing before we even get a bite, and how that applies to floral design.
