Dreamy Ruffles ... Frilly blooms

Your go-to bloom for ruffly petals ... Carnations. They are frilly and come in a huge array of colours, the best thing is that they are budget friendly. Peonies, ranunculus and dahlias make a big impact with their luscious blooms, and lovely structure.

Style Board: Oriental Splendor

What can be more befitting as a focal point for an Oriental themed celebration than a peony? It is known as the flower of riches and honor. A greatly loved bloom in Chinese history, the peony symbolizes romance and happy marriage. I love its dramatic silhouette and beautiful shades of pink and red. I love an intricate peony motif printed on invites, napkins and favor boxes. Throw in some quintessential elements of Chinese culture: earthen teapots for serving fragrant Chinese tea, wooden chopsticks for favors, and clusters of paper lanterns to create a visual spectacle.
