Velvety Soft Greens

Natural but refined with roses, a boutonniere that is soft and simple for a no-fuss complement to many bouquets.

Spray roses with heuchera greens, and maidenhair fern, tied with twine make up this guy. 

Unexpected Combinations

Crimson, ivory and a few yellow accents are highlighted in a dark blue vase.  It seemed to be a strange combination, but love the look all together.

Ivory roses, crimson dahlias, yellow spray roses, queen anne's lace and some local greens fill this design.

Dahlia delight

I hate to play favorites, but I LOVE dahlias!  They are so amazing in their beautiful varieties, bringing an elegance to a wildflower look.

This beautiful bouquet is composed of dahlias, queen anne's lace, zinnias, lisianthus, matsumoto asters, stock and a variety of greens.  At first I never would have used all of these colors together, but in seeing the final product I can see that sometimes it pays to let go! 

Bold and Bright

After finding these double tulips, I had to make good use of them!  The tulips are a beautiful golden color.

In this piece are tulips, roses, alstroemeria, poppies, and a bit of groundcover with periwinkle flowers for greens.

Wild and Purple

Been taking a class on garden style arrangements and decided to do my own take on it.

White ranunculus, a blue succulent, a little solidago at the top, ivy for filler, purple calla lilies, stock and waxflower fill out this wild and free centerpiece.  Check out the ranunculus with the green leafy center to the left!  It just keeps growing in the vase, from the center out. 

Spring Forward

It's been too long!

Inspired by the beautiful colors of spring to make this wild and free arrangement.  Coral and soft yellows are set off by a hint of lavender.

Cream yellow roses, yellow garden roses, and yellow with a hint of peach ranunculus are framed by coral mallow with soft gray/green foliage.  Lavender and dark hot pink camellias give a burst of color.

Winter Whites

Anemones are in season and they were the perfect addition to a white wedding anniversary arrangement.  The soft green and beige centers seemed to counter the strong gold vase.

White anemones, ranunculus, and spray roses filled this deco style gold vase.  They were accented by tree fern greenery.
