Musical Connections
Many music enthusiasts travel to Tennessee to visit one of its many historic venues. In fact, the city of Bristol is known as the birthplace of Country music. For the music lover, consider floral arrangements inspired by the following Tennessee destinations:
Graceland. Graceland is known as Elvis’s home, but did you know that it was actually a farm and mansion built by Dr. & Mrs. Thomas Moore? Elvis Presley’s parents were the first to scout the location in 1957and the famous singer bought the estate two weeks later. To channel Graceland, think big. Everything is Graceland is fit for the King of Rock and Roll, so a large, showy arrangement with premium flowers such as roses, hydrangeas, and stargazer lilies will fit the bill.
Grand Ole Opry House. This stage has seen all of Country music’s biggest names, and is described as a “one-of-a-kind entertainment experience for audiences of all ages,” on its website. To add a little country to your next flower delivery, select farm fresh flowers like sunflowers, celosia, amaranthus, and lisianthus. An arrangement finished with a raffia bow around the vase is sure to have a rustic feel.
These are just two of Tennesee’s legendary halls, which also include the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Ryman Auditorium, the Johnny Cash Museum, and honky tonks with live music.
Tennessee Copper Mining
Another famous feature of Tennessee is the Copper Basin, which is a 32,000-acre swath of land made desolate from 19th century copper mining practices. It is said to be visible from outer space! One prominent mine, the Burra Burra Mine, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Over 15 millions tons of copper ore were extracted there. For a flower arrangement with a touch of copper, consider:
Copper Accents. Copper is a popular metallic that can be incorporated into flower arrangements. Decorative copper wires that weave between blooms could accent modern, structural arrangements. Or, painted copper leaves or berries could be used to add shine to a vase of monochromatic white flowers.
Copper Vases. Using a copper vase to hold your flower arrangement is another way to bring this metal into the mix. Select a copper vase that suits the type of arrangement you would like to send. A low copper cylinder is great for a compact floral arrangement while a copper budvase can showcase a single flower such as a rose or stem of orchids.
