Sunny and exhuberant summer centerpiece

These pale apricot ‘Evelyn’ and buttery ‘Golden Celebration’ roses need very little embellishment.

A few stems of ivy with their nearly black berries invite attention, while delicate wisps of clematis spill playfully out of a terra-cotta pot.

“Seek out interesting foliage,” advises floral designer Ariella Chezar. “The greenery can be just as beautiful as the flowers.”
