Christofle Bal Harbour presented the Floral Arrangements of Oscar Maas Designs

March 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Forget falling in love with the arrangements from the flower shop around the corner.
Christofle Paris Bal Harbour Shops recently hosted an event for an exclusive demonstration on the art of flower design to present the Floral Arrangements of Oscar Maas Designs. Premiere floral designer Oscar Maas presented a selection of Couture Arrangements.

For the Spring 2010 collection, Oscar Maas work will have you enamored with the couture flowers for your loved ones. While the new collection predominantly featured was not just about beautiful flowers but unique vases, some of them designed by Oscar Maas himself: like a limited edition hand-crafted  Acrylic Diamonds Vase creating a sexy dwelling to a bunch of Red Tulips accented on the base with red roses and lily grass.

With more than a dozen prêt-a-porter arrangements, Mr. Maas did what he does best; delivering a beautiful, romantic, and sophisticated presentation! (With framed notes description next to each arrangements like in an Art Gallery).

I admit it. Oscar Maas’ design aesthetic has a visceral affect on me. At times, I felt on the verge of tears because the designs were so exquisite. From the delicate cymbidium orchids to the beautiful yellow Daffodils arrangement, Spray roses, Pink Peonies, Hot Pink Roses to the Classic Red Roses (it was like being in a garden, where flower petals might have been painstakingly sewn into these arrangements), one beautiful ensemble after another left me gasping for air, then holding my breath, only to have me gasping for air once again. Even when masculine pieces such as the one Oscar named “A Wow Gift”: A black Acrylic Tray holding 21 Red Roses tied with a Black Silk Ribbon or “The Black Tie Gift” : 40 Velvet Red Black Magic Roses surrounded with fresh moss and accented with the select Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin champagne captured in a chic custom-made clear acrylic box, making this VIP piece perfect for her or him and when the flowers are gone you keep the beautiful box with lid and use it as a display of your favorite books on your coffee table.   Oscar Maas used non-traditional highlights like crystals drops or a custom-made mirrored jewelry box filled with green/pink antique hydrangeas from Holland, Ecuadorian pink-creamy roses, green orchid heads from New Zealand complemented with beautiful zebra leaves found in the Amazon area in Brazil embellished the creations he presented at the event.  “My Sweet” a beautiful arrangement where Oscar put together delicate pink mini calla lilies, light blue hyacinths, fuchsia godethias, hot pink roses and mauve roses set in a cylindrical glass vase wrapped with a tai leaf covering the flower stems.

According to the program notes, the Oscar Maas’ Spring 2010 collection was a play on color and contrast. Red, Green, Yellow, Cream…, joined the high contrast of all the shades of Pink and finishes of beautiful containers and silk ribbons.

The designer said he wanted to “play a lot with color and textures,” to focus on pieces that are all at once Beautiful, Elegant and Sexy and added “the possibilities are endless when you think creatively and try new things”.  All the attendants were thrilled with Oscar’s work. Among them were Judy Martin, manager of St. John Bal Harbour and Pablo Lafforgue manager of Piaget Bal Harbour.  The staff of Christofle, Manager Jessica Oleksa, Maria Teresa Dishington and Shushana Fuzaylova were the perfect hostess welcoming every guest with champagne and delicious Hors D’oeuvres.

Another piece to get your attention was the “Five In One” 12 Red Roses: LOVE, 12 Lavender Roses: Enchantment, 12 Yellow Roses: Happiness, 12 Pink Roses: Admiration and 12 White Roses: Purity all of them tastefully nestled lines in a low wooden box or a Hand Tied Bouquet with Red Roses, white Hydrangeas and variegated leaves resting in a beautiful Christofle Silver Champagne Cooler.
