Botanical designs bare it all this season in simplistic watergarden containers. Looking more natural than ever from stem to bloom, these down-to-earth arrangements provide an effortless breath of fresh air. Designs tend to be bouquets of a single flower variety, while colors range from pure white to rosy pink to sunshine yellow. — Lindsey Strader
