Floral Decor: Mix in Moss

If you’re looking to add a pop of green to a tablescape or centerpiece, may we suggest mixing in some moss?  With over 12,000 species to choose from, floral designers are using these flowerless plants in centerpieces and terrariums, to line vases and to tie orchid stems to branches and stakes.  We’ve even seen moss used down the center of a table paired with elegant blooms at a country wedding – rustic but still very chic.

One of the most inventive ways designers are using moss is in vertical gardens or on a wall as graffiti.  It’s actually not hard to grow moss and Terrain makes it even easier with their moss milkshake.  Just add water, spread the mix on almost anything and keep moist…  In a couple of weeks, you’ll have your very own moss garden.

And for those of you who with black thumbs craving the fresh scent of a forest after the rain, there always a candle.  We might just go that route!

Who knows, you might be seeing more moss in one of our collections one day…
