Have you ever flipped through a catalog or magazine and wondered how the picture was created? Every scene you see has been styled and propped to perfection.
Here is a {Behind the Scenes} look at a Willow House photoshoot:
{Catalog View – page 58/59}
Inspired by the jewel-toned colors of the Prism Glass Ornaments, this exquisite table was created using a basic piece of burlap (made into a runner) and branches found in the home-owners yard. Then layered on top of that are colorful flower balls covered with a Glass Dome, as well as the Emerson Stemware and Hawthorne Hurricane. Love the look of the flower balls? Keep Reading….

Looks like a BUSY DAY @ Willow House!
A lot of work goes into creating ONE shot.
Cool, huh? I love seeing how things are created.
How funny is it that they made the dining chairs sit higher with bed stilts?!
Here’s how to create the Flower Balls:
- Gather your supplies: An Oasis (floral foam) sphere, grocery store flowers like roses or kermit mums (about three bunches per finished ball) and a pair of scissors. ~ You could also use artificial flowers so your arrangement stays longer.
- Immerse your Oasis in water for at least 20 minutes so it absorbs enough water to keep your flowers alive. ~ Or skip this step if using artificial flowers.
- Trim a couple of flowers so their stems are very short — about half an inch long — then poke the stems directly into the sphere. Arrange flowers so that no floral foam shows through.
- Repeat this step until your flower ball is covered. Then, enjoy! The foam will keep the flowers watered, so you can display your flower ball on a plate, under a dome, or on a candlestand!
Top them off with the Petite Glass Dome and/or the Tall Glass Dome = ELEGANCE

I knew from reading about other photo shoots that it takes a lot of stuff and work for each shot. That is funny putting the table and chairs on stilts. Thanks so much for stopping by and the lovely comment.
