A glance at some winter pots

Here's a glance of one of my clients winter pots. The whole project was a joy to do, and the weather was great which made it easy.
The color scheme is simple, greens, whites and natural. Lights were added to some of the arrangements

A wide variety of materials were used, such as magnolia, noble fir, eucalyptus, and Styrofoam balls wrapped in yarns
These pots are near the front gate entrance and feature protea and gold thread juniper branches.
The four large pots in the rear all have noble fir collars and metal vine climbers wrapped in lights. I'm sure the frog sculptures enjoy this.
Since the clients do not celebrate Christmas nothing red was used, we didn't want it to look like a Holiday display
 the front porch pots have noble fir collars, tall ting ting and fake apples.

Lots of magnolia was used, the amaranthus is not real, but very real looking.

 These wall planters are visible from the clients windows, a important view from inside.

 Pine cones  on sticks and grape vine balls add new shapes and textures.
A pot outside the doors features really tall ting ting branches easily viewed from the inside.
These planters are on the courtyard entrance, the first hint that something magical is going on behind these walls and beyond the gate.
The planters in the dog run feature gold amaranthus, magnolia and noble fir branches. These planters are also visible from the clients inside, as well when the dogs have to go take care of some business.
