The White Orchid collection by Michael Aram was inspired by the ethereal spirit of the orchid flower. While the sculpture of the orchid is exuberant and detailed, these flowers take on a simplicity that is completely unique. The collection has an strikingly different appeal than its Black Orchid counterpart, exuding feelings of purity, delicacy, femininity, and grace.

When I think of white orchids, I imagine the purity and sweetness of a newborn child, or a newlywed couple at the beginning of their lifelong journey.
