Laura Dowling

Laura Dowling is a wonderful designer. She specialises in garden style designs. Garden Style design focuses on natural arrangements with contrasting elements and integrating innovative color combinations, distinctive materials and sophisticated design aesthetic. In garden style arrangements, fruit and vegetables are often used, to add their flavor of color and texture. They also add originality and interest.

Laura's designs are chic, but have a casual elegance created by using flowers from the woods, meadows, vineyards, and gardens. Her rule is to follow principals of exquisite design, highest quality materials and exceptional service.

I love what she said, Nature inspirations, trends in fashion, decorative arts influence the poetry and artistry. Floral design really can be poetic, and it definitely is art. As I think of all the art forms that I have had contact with, I can see a place where flowers fit, and can easily become a part of that art form.

Laura is described as always featuring special elements. An example of this is using organic containers, floating 'butterfly' orchids, and 'dancing' branches to create a unique effect.

Laura has a blog, where she displays her creations, but also gives tips and ideas on all aspects of her designs. Click here to veiw.

She spent many years in France studying this style of garden design, and it shows. Her work makes me feel like it is part of a garden, and there are so many details.  I love her work!!
