The ocean provides endless inspiration for us here in Hawaii, and finding interesting ways to incorporate elements of the sea into a chic beach theme always poses a challenge. In our Winter/Spring 2012 issue, five of our top floral designers shared their ocean-inspired designs in these brilliant seascape bouquets photographed by Frank Amodo. In the first bouquet, Honolulu florist Yvonne Chapman of Yvonne Design paired dainty pink Yves Piaget garden roses with ranunculuses adorned with small shells.

Beach glass inspired ivory florals and pale blue-grey Dusty Miller by Shilhi Seibel of Passion Roots.

Terrie Easley of Easley Designs‘ artistic interpretation of clematis, Liatris, tulips, chocolate geranium and bullet allium blooms.

Graceful calla lilies and magnolia leaves by designer Fong Tagawa of Floral Inspirations.
