spring wildflower bouquet

  

A wonderfully casual spring bouquet of: white veronica, green bells and purple ceneria. I've never had the pleasure of using green bells before and am a richer man for the experience. A very sweet ''just picked" look that I don't get do enough of until our garden gets going. No fancy footwork here, just choose the right combination of blooms and "let it be."

orchids and trachelium

This bouquet is a great example of the use of texture. Smooth cymbidium and hypericum berries, ruffly stock and  fuzzy purple trachelium (a sadly underused flower.) Stressing design principles always makes an effective piece.

ruffles

A pretty ruffly textured bouquet in lavender stock, purple stock, alstroemeria and green carnations, made in one of my favorite color combos. A very lovely bouquet that is not a budget-breaker. Fragrant and touchable (gently, mind you.)
