To keep a two-story entrance hall of this size filled with beautiful bouquets of natural flowers, one would need a designated florist on site. The silk flower alternative is ideal. To stem the boredom of always looking at the same decor, this client invested is two different groups of flower arrangements and uses them alternately to keep the room looking fresh and spontaneous.
