As royals fans analyze every frame of the trailer for With Love, Meghan, leading up to the Netflix show's Jan. 15 launch, I must admit I've done the same. But while people debate where the show was filmed, where Meghan Markle got her clothes (J. Crew is the sartorial MVP, it seems) and what her body language reveals, I am zeroed in on...the flowers. Specifically, the outdoor party scene where she and actress Mindy Kaling walk into a rustic-yet-elegant gazebo festooned with a rainbow balloon arch, reveling in an artfully undone table set with candelabras that sprout fully bloomed ranunculuses. It's charming, it's whimsical—and it defies gravity.
But how?!
I zoomed in, past the beehive-shaped honey jar and toile teapot, hoping for a closer look. Were they threaded through clear straws? No. Held together with wire and twine? How were the stems not buckling under the sheer weight of those blooms, as mine tend to do?
