Alaska’s Snowfall

When many people think of Alaska, they immediately think of snow. Snowfall totals widely vary over the state, based on the different types of geography throughout such a large area. In the capital city Juneau, for example, residents could typically receive 70 inches of snowfall per year, whereas in Valdez there could be over 300 inches per year. Regardless, the entire state experiences cold and long winters.

Snowfall isn’t the only thing that keeps Alaska’s landscape beautifully covered in white. Alaska is home to the majority of the United States’ glaciers, giant moving masses of ice formed from snow accumulation year after year. The Bagley Icefield, for instance, is 127 miles long, 6 miles wide, and up to 3,000 feet thick. That’s a lot of ice! A floral arrangement in a winter white color palate can be appropriate for: 

• Sympathy. Sending flowers can help you express your sympathy when words don’t seem like enough. A white flower arrangement is a traditional gift for a friend or family member who is grieving a loss. A vase arrangement is an apt gift to send to the recipient’s home. Flowers like roses, stock, and hydrangea will bring a light fragrance and bit of beauty into the space. Or, consider an arrangement designed in a wicker basket that can later be reused by the recipient. 

• Funeral. If you prefer to the send your flower arrangement to the deceased’s service, however, a white color palate will still be fitting. Often, immediate family members coordinate their flower arrangements in a certain color palate, so by sending white flowers, yours will surely match whatever hues they have chosen. Carnations, lilies, gladiolas, and football mums are usually used to create funeral designs because they are long lasting and are large in size so they can be seen well in a big church or funeral home. Any flowers, though, can be utilized in a way that makes a beautiful arrangement that expresses your love. 

• Contemporary. White blooms are not only for expressing sympathy, though. White flowers are versatile because they can go with any type of décor. They can be especially fitting in modern spaces that utilize neutral colors on the walls and flooring. Flowers like calla lilies, cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids, tulips, freesia, and amaryllis can be designed in a contemporary cube or cylinder container in a low, compact style. The sleek shape of both the container and the arrangement will have a chic, city vibe.
