This arrangement is sitting atop a vase carved out of a solid block of ice, and it is a copy of a Waterford crystal vase. The ice vase was 40" tall, and with the flowers, the arrangement was almost 8 feet tall.It was the main buffet arrangement for an outdoor wedding reception I did in November a few years ago.
I took the photo soon after it was removed from refrigeration, so it appears frosted. I was told that after it had been out in the air for a while, the frosting left and it was crystal clear.

This is FANTASTIC Judy....the arrangement couldn't be more beautiful and that Vase is in a word: AMAZING!!! I LOVE this Flower Arrangement...If I could I would have Fresh Flowers, arranged by youy in my house every three days!! Isn't that a lovely thought! It makes me so happy to think about that!
Well, I just saw the other two arrangements!!! The thing that I particularly lik about your arrangements is the use of the many BEAUTIFUL Colors..I can't get over how BIG some of these are!
Post more!!!
Wow! I love all the photos.
(I can't believe I have missed so many posts! Where are my days slipping away to?)
This is huge and gorgeous. Only sad that the vase had to melt. But what color! You are truly talented. I've tried to arrange a few flowers and they usually come out looking like clumps.
I totally agree with all, your work is beautiful...and like u said, some of those are huge!!..thank you so much for sharing those photos with us all.
What an awesome display, Judy!
It looks like a lot of time went into that piece. I wonder if they wear mittens when they do it.
Pretty amazing! I'll have one of those at my wedding reception :)
These are beautiful...all the arrangements are! Michele sent me tonight!
But how the dickens did they hollow out the "vase?" Or was it simply a straight "hole" cut down the center? Gorgeous, regardless!
