In the summertime...

Summer is another amazing time for flowers. They are abundant in bright golds, corals, and greens; all of the "warm" colors that are reminders of sunshine and wonderful weather. The blooms tend to be large and bright in their varieties, more so than other times of the year. Shown here was a housewarming arrangement that displayed beautiful in the recipient's country-themed kitchen. The vivid colors of the flowers were further enhanced by the bright, goldenrod ribbon and tempered with the woven, straw container.

Tea party!

When I refer to getting "creative" with containers, there really is no limit to what you can arrange in. An example of that is displayed here. We organize a "tea party" theme for one of my closest friend's bridal shower and tea cup arrangements centered every table. The arrangements contained a variety of pink, white, and green buds, the colors chosen for Kate's wedding, and were placed on lace doilies for an added dimension of girliness and to expand the arrangements a bit. Personalized tea tins were given as favors to all attendees.

The "tea-riffic" bride-to-be had a fabulous time and was thrilled with every detail of her day!
