Traditions! Classic Design!
Jose Graterol is often asked if he can produce Classic arrangements, Classic Floral Designs, Classic events. The answer is a resounding "Yes!" Most floral designers begin with classic and traditional style design. The challenge is to branch out into uncharted waters of design or modern design which cannot be placed into a single style or category. So, in this blog, we reach into our photography records to showcase Jose's traditional styles, some with a modern twist and some strictly classic!
For this event in Palm Beach, Jose combined traditional elements and floral arrangements in keeping with the architectural style to create a memorable party produced by Rafanelli Events, www.rafanellievents.com
Jose states "Every floral designer can produce traditional arrangements. But, not every traditional floral designer can invent modern and progressive arrangements."
Jose also recently produced impressive, traditional-with-a-twist floral designs for a wedding at Vizcaya, the winter home for James Deering. Its architecture and natural, lush gardens provide a stunning backdrop for special events! Thank you to Cristina and Gloria of Cymbidium Events, www.cymbidiumevents.com for choosing Jose Graterol Designs!
Low and high arrangements mixed Spanish traditional elements with a nod to the modern elements, too!
For an event in Washington, D.C., Jose copied the still life painting in the dining room! He combined fruit and flowers in the arrangement. That is a real art and very difficult!
In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, we leave you with a traditional table setting with a buffet piece on the buffet. This is Jose Graterol's design, purely interpreted in the colors of the season!
We wish everyone a beautiful Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for this year!
Call us if we can help you out for upcoming holiday decorating, Christmas/Hanukkah/Thanksgiving/New Year's or any upcoming event!

The flowers arranged for the Palm Beach event are perfectly matched with the flatware, window treatments, etc. The setting actually "radiates" such that the air itself appears to be of a light lavender color (which is just lovely). The flowers Jose arranged for the event at Vizcaya are also fabulously "matched". In this instance, the setting must have been even more marvelous as sunset neared. Plus I can only imagine the sweet smell of flowers which must have filled the air! Thank you for the views of the beautiful flowers and arrangements! As son is a professional photographer, I would be remiss in not also “tipping my cap” to the photographer(s)!
