Compote Bowls for Decorating Any Event in Spring Time
A Fresh Approach to Outdoor Spaces
Although the dreary cold days of winter may be approaching for much of the country and preparations for the holidays are being added to the to-do list, outdoor activities and gatherings have become an essential part of our well-being. Reimagining an outdoor space to be more than just patio furniture and a few planters has become almost important as preparing our indoor sanctuaries. We have definitely witnessed an 'outdoor' boom in the last couple of years as many weddings, events, and family gatherings embrace the beauty of our natural surroundings and accentuate them for one's perfect event.
The Creative Team at Accent Decor analyzes trends around the world and continues to be the go-to-source for what's new, current and trending. The multiple collections include purposefully designed pieces for home as well as pieces for small and large scale events, decorative spaces, and so much more. The Great Outdoors is a beautiful canvas awaiting the artistic creations from this amazing industry.
Featured below are images from the Accent Decor Outdoor Collection for 2022 but with an occasional image from the Accent Decor Catalog 2021. Click images for more details. Be sure to take note of the icons that are extremely helpful while browsing the Outdoor Collection.
The beautiful backdrop of the outdoors provided a much needed destination for gatherings. The creative genius behind planning events is only limited by lack of imagination and ingenuity. The last few years, we have seen boundaries being pushed like never before and outcomes have been nothing short of magical.
Accent Decor has designed pieces to be not only functional but versatile, and many are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Archways, Wall Stands, Gates, and Wall Hangings create ideal canvases for inviting entryways and stunning backdrops. With an assortment of metals and wood grain options, these pieces are a must for any collection.
Lighting, Lighting, Lighting…..We all know the importance and necessity of fabulous lighting. I believe the vibe of any space is effected by lighting and something as simple as a small votive flickering on a workspace desk can bring a sense of calm to a stressful day in the office. Accent Decor has an extensive collection of lanterns, votives, candleholders, candelabras, and candles for creating the desired ambience for the home, your own serene garden setting, and options for your business.
Anyone who knows me is well aware of how much I love plants. Accent Decor designs functional yet stylish vessels to not only serve as container vessels but are true design pieces for creating the perfect greenspace in any setting. Working from home and spending more time indoors only fortifies my love of having fresh greenery in the home. Not only for its obvious beauty but also as a necessity for cleansing the air and nurturing the environment.
Vessels for tabletops to large troughs for a variety of plant material, Accent Decor designs for all spaces and aesthetics. Adding height to any plant is not a problem with the addition of stands. The new collection also has a great selection of textures, materials, and colors that are classic and trendy yet still remain functional.
With the anticipation of a new move, I am looking forward to creating a relaxing outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful backdrop of the Tennessee mountains and precious time with my family.

Make Life Easier with Details
My experience in the floral industry has given me a unique insight to the 'Behind-the-Scenes' production process of weddings, events, and day-to-day operations of florists and designers. As you may well know, it truly is a process. I'm probably dating myself, but times have changed. The elongated yellow notepad pinned with swatches and numerous notes is no longer the norm, clients have become more involved with the process, and saving time and money is more important than ever.
I have had the privilege of working with clients through their planning process and on a few occasions, the day of production. There is no question that organization, confidence, productivity, and profitability are key to a successful event. I am thrilled to share with you how Details Flowers Software is helping florists and designers achieve all of these.
I was first introduced to the Details Flower Software from a past guest, Laura Iarocci of Faith Flowers. She uses Details for her wedding and event business here in Atlanta. So one day, I asked Laura if she used software and if she liked it. Without hesitation she said, "YES, we use Details." I want to also share that I had asked several of our other past guests about this topic and almost all of them said they like their software, but……. There was always a but, a pain point that they didn't like and chose to put up with it. Now back to Laura and her team…They began to share with me their love of Details: easy to use, professional looking, actually fun to work with, great customer service, and the list continued to grow. Bottom line, the software was helping her business. Laura and her team were the reason that I reached out to Details and others to learn more.
If you're looking for ways to streamline your floral and event business, then I want to invite you to explore Details Flowers Software. Gaining from her own experiences as a florist and seeing the need to help others in the industry, Corrine Heck founded Details Flowers Software: an all-in-one software solution to help manage costs, productivity, and organization.
Understanding that each business has different needs, Details Flowers was created to help you no matter your challenges. With a stellar support team and superb customer service, Details will navigate you through understanding each wonderful feature. Features to help you grow like a Recipe Manager, Color Match Creator, Virtual Showroom, Template creations, Invoicing, a wholesale portal, and so much more. Details has also partnered with floral supply leaders around the world to bring beautiful products directly to your designs.
Client Testimonials
I am a firm believer in getting involved and connecting with my clients. When we have a personal connection, sharing our experience is most helpful and encouraging to others. Details Flowers Software has designed their business to build trust with their customers and help you connect on a very personal level and provide your clients with the best floral experience.
As a floral professional from the wholesale industry, I have seen the benefits of each feature designed by Details. Several of my own clients have integrated Details into their own business. THE WORLD'S BEST FLORISTS TRUST DETAILS TO HELP GROW THEIR BOTTOM LINE.
Proposals
Create beautiful, printable contracts in minutes with their Proposal Editing tool. Customizable templates will make you stand out, and your ability to get this to your clients will give you hours back to your life to do what you love...DESIGN!
In recording several episodes this season, unknowingly, I found that several of our guests also use Details. What amazed me was the broad scope in which this software was being used. One company used the software to mange their rental inventory, another created recipes for retail designs, of course the templates for professional wedding proposals (which are very popular), and last but not least, the images to create, inspire, and tell the stories of beautiful events..
Many people wonder if I say these things because Details is one of our sponsors, and I want to share that couldn't be further from the truth. It was because of all of these positive things that lead me to Details Flowers Software. When you hear the testimonials you know they're doing something right that I just didn't hear about any other software.
Now that Details is developing migration software to help you transfer information to Details, there's one more barrier removed and all the more reason to try a free trial and explore this software.
Lastly, I have to say thank you to Corrine! Thank you for seeing the value in The Flower Podcast and our community. Thank you for sharing your story and your journey in creating this powerful tool that literally changes the lives of your customers.

Staying on Trend with Accent Decor
I believe we have all learned from the events of 2020: the importance of flexibility, adaptability, perseverance, and empathy. We are thankful to have the support of companies that understand the nature of the floral business and continue to accommodate the changing needs of the industry.
I am excited, once again, to highlight just a small offering from the beautiful collections of Accent Decor. Each season Accent Decor's Creative Team analyzes trends across the globe and continues to be the go-to-source for what's new, current and trending for the coming year. This year, with so many changes from large scale events to microweddings, Accent Decor's versatile selections provided ease in adapting to any event.
Show Stopper
Create a memorable WOW moment for any size event with the new addition of the Moon Gate and Lunar Grid Hanger . I am loving the Moon Gate! Made of metal, this sturdy piece will withstand the weight of full floral covering yet beautifully designed to accommodate partial exposure. Perfectly sized to be the focal point or used in multiples, the uniqueness of the Lunar Grid Hanger adds a starry element of magic and celestial ambience. Explore more options for suspendible pieces, hanging saucers, vases, pots, and more at A ccent Decor.com
Geometric Metals
Geometrical structures have always fascinated me. A piece of art by design alone, geometric patterns bring an element of dimension and character to design. I chose these pieces for their modern yet classic appeal not only in shape but material. To me, metal will always be in style. It's look can be very simplistic and can stand alone, or incorporated into innovative and futuristic design. Available in an assortment of finishes from burnished finishes to timeless golds, Accent Decor has a fabulous collection of metal vessels, stands, columns and more.
Make a Statement
More than ever, we are longing to gather and connect with family and friends. Events and weddings have always provided the perfect backdrop for such gatherings. Although the grandeur of an entrance, the splendor of the venue, the thoughtfully, curated welcome gifts are wonderful components of an event, I believe the most intimate element for guests may be the reception, dinner, etc. Each season, Accent Decor introduces standout pieces fashioned to compliment any design or aesthetic. Search your favorites of vessels, stands, urns, compotes, and more.
Ambience
Last but certainly not least, llighting. An essential element to create the perfect ambience, lighting transforms a beautiful space and sets the mood for an event. Whether you are creating a romantic starry sky, illuminating garden paths, or setting a romantic tablescape, the choice of lighting cannot be neglected. Explore Accent Decor's vast selection of lanterns, candelabra, chandeliers, candles, votives, and more to add a warm welcome and romantic element to your event.
Although my focus for this blog post is events and weddings, Accent Decor has collections for so much more. Accent Decor brings you a vast selection of ceramics, glass, and natural vessels along with accessories for the home as well as the great outdoors.

Accent Decor: 2019 Event Collection
Installations!! Images posted on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, magazine covers, how-to workshops.…Installations are definitely the topic of conversation.
Flower walls, floral chandeliers, floating centerpieces and larger than life floral installations are the trend this year. Creating that special place for magic can be challenging because not all venues were created equally especially for hanging your floral masterpiece.
That's why I was so excited to highlight Accent Decor's 2019 Event Collection. They have designed functional pieces for all of your floral and foliage installations along with innovative and versatile vessels and decor pieces to complete the main event. Also, on trend this year is the use of dried material. Bring on Pampas Grass.

Hanging Installations
Accent Decor has designed a line to support the ever growing trend of hanging installations. Their assorted troughs, hangers, and easy fill chandeliers are the perfect products for your floating centerpieces and designs. The Ovation Hanger, Vial Chandelier, along with more options at AccentDecor.com are great bases for constructing foam free pieces. These are also wonderful to incorporate into your inventory because of their reusability.
The Classic Compote
I don't know that compotes ever went out of style, but the past couple of years we have definitely seen the compote front and center in floral design. The compote's design accommodates a plethora of possibilities. An exposed base can be an accent to matching candleholders, the open design center allows for foam free design, and an elevated base can increase height without adding volume to a space for an ease in table talk conversation. Airy or compact, romantic or rustic, elegant or simplistic, the compote is a classic yet still modern and relevant vessel for any event.
Lanterns and Lighting
The delicate glow of a flickering flame is the perfect accent to a romantic setting. In addition to traditional candles, I love the ambience created by incorporating assorted lanterns to illuminate a space. Accent Decor has a diverse collection of votives, lanterns, and candleholders to complement any occasion.
Backdrops And Stands
When looking at the space of your venue, it is helpful to have access to a line of products to accommodate the mechanics needed to produce your event. Accent Decor's Ceremony Stand can be styled in many ways. Used as a place for seating charts or to help define a space, a stand can make a beautiful backdrop especially when adding floral accents. Function and Beauty can be found in this one product.
Columns, Floor Urns, and Stands will give rise to each of your designs. Filling a vertical space from the floor, table, or stage may be challenging but using columns and stands brings a coherency to a space by connecting your designs as a continuing floor to ceiling flow through a room. Raising your decor over the line of sight provides for the ease of conversation with guests while creating intimacy and romance for the entire event. Supporting candles or flowers with confidence because of the trusted construction of every product, your business will shine.

Accent Decor: Inspiration with Ian Prosser and Zoë Gallina
There are many times when a company recruits outside talent to highlight some of their products. With our excitement of having Ian and Zoë on The Flower Podcast this week, we reached out to Accent Decor to showcase inspirational images created by them. This gives us many opportunities!! First to highlight their work and also to highlight some amazing products by our lead sponsor for this season, Accent Decor.
Having been in the floral business for many years, I understand the need for inspiration. Either taking vessels you already have or seeing new products for you to use can be important when booking weddings and meeting with clients. It's far too easy to let our work become ordinary. I hope you enjoy this post and can take a quiet moment and breathe in the inspiration.
Nature provides us with what seems like an endless number of mediums to express our visions and dreams. I love the use of tillandisas, fruit, plants, and foliage mixed with the obvious cut flowers for this vignette. Accent Decor brings in amazing talents to create these stunning visuals to showcase the possibilities for creating memorable events or weddings for your clients. Utilizing plants can be more than environmentally friendly, it can also give you inventory to repurpose or regift to your client. The flowers and plants above have been placed in the Laurent Urn. Using the natural vibrant color of fruit like cantaloupe and persimmons to carry the color from the flower designs flowing down the table and the place setting can create more impact. The candles have been placed in the Glass Lanterns with gold accents to connect with the gold in the urns. Creating more intimate light, the Sassi Votives have blended perfectly with the golds, peaches, and taupes of the tablescape.
There is a current trend that I am absolutely thrilled to see. Being in the wholesale end of florals, I am used to having multiple products in inventory but when you see new trends bringing somewhat passed over inventory to life you can't help but be energized! I am drawn to the pampers grass. This time of year dried product is the most available. It's not as big and fluffy as fresh, but you can reuse it if you handle it carefully and when mixed with greenery the impact created can be spectacular. This design almost mimics the popular suspended floral design by using the Clarinet Vase without the challenges of hanging florals from the ceiling. I also love the design of this vessel and its reversal capability to add variety and interest on the same table.
Farm tables may come and go with popularity, but I love all the natural elements incorporated into this tablescape The clean lines from the hanging amaranths effortlessly brings your eyes down past the Clarinet Vase to this inviting gathering of rustic charm. Including the Truce Candleholder and the Selenite Table Number Accent Decor reinforces this natural theme making the connection with the Earth. Also, in the background there is the use of the candleholders and sculptures from the Atlantis Collection made from selenite. Once again, fruit is being used to connect the bright green color of the centerpieces with the simple place setting design. Each setting creates a personal invite with the use of a Tea Rose Budvase and a delicate touch of color.
Accent Decor not only creates vessels, but also brings decorative natural pieces into their collections. The bright gold Adorn Vase looks clean and is truly a bold statement when mixed with any florals like the mix of garden roses, dahlias, freesias, hydrangea, and callas. The bold florals and lines of the eucalyptus compliment the colors of these natural Agate Slices . These create a wonderful textural addition to any event. Whether for decorative purposes or like used above to personalize a setting, incorporating natural pieces with your designs is always pleasing.
The challenge of a table centerpiece can be its height or how much it may interfere with the personal space of each guest. I appreciate the scale, fullness, color, and ambience that Ian and Zoë brought to this table. The delicate peaches and creams of the garden roses and the softness of the dahlias blend with the natural color of the chairs and the votives perfectly. Furthermore, the silver of the brunia and dusty miller compliment the simple yet elegant place setting. The votives used in the settings are Accent Decor's Spirit Votive. Made of glass, this dramatic votive creates a delicate ambience and sets the mood of an intimate gathering. Last but not least, the Stellar Name Card Holder adds a hint of sparkle, a natural element, and overall elegance to the tablescape.
Oh my goodness! When I first saw this image, my thoughts were of cherished memories of my grandmother. I believe many of you know what I am talking about. The family cake plate admired as the vessel housing Grandma's delectable of the day, and the fresh pick of morning flowers from the garden were essential for a day at Grandma's.
I am loving the appeal of this table. Simple yet elegant. Classic yet Current. The beautiful color of the Zelana Cake Plates can be used for anything from the obvious decorative cake plate to perfect pedestals for floral masterpieces. Designed to compliment any color palette, I am enamored with the amazing vibrant colors of the anemones, dahlias, and roses and they pop against the timeless color of the cake plate. The table also includes textured vases from Accent Decor's Palm Collection available in multiple sizes. The neutral color of this stoneware vessel gives it flexibility in how it is utilized in one's overall design. Truly a modern vibe to a classic table for an overall timeless experience.
Ian Posser and Zoë Gallina of Botanica International Design and Decor Studio, collaborate with Accent Decor to create catalog images and launch new product lines. Our sincere thanks to Accent Decor for being a sponsor for The Flower Podcast and sharing with us these spectacular images for this blog post. Listen to Ian and Zoë's chat with Scott.
