A palette of silvery-blue eucalyptus, deep-green trachelium, and green and chartreuse reindeer moss sets off the gleaming silver vase, a sentimental gift from a husband to a wife. "The container was so beautiful on its own, I felt that flowers might take away from it," says Handegan. "The colors and textures of the greenery worked so well with the silver. It was a natural choice."
