Have fun & be safe!!

Today I'd like to show you examples of centerpiece designs using something other than common flowers such as: carnations, mums, daisies etc.
Here are a couple of centerpieces that were designed for a "Upscale" baby shower. I was told that their color scheme was blue, cream & brown, given the dimensions of each table, & told to do whatever I wanted. With that color scheme it is already nontraditional, I knew this would be fun.
My clients asked for centerpieces for a shower for a baby boy. They wanted an upscale look using unique flowers. They didn't want anything traditional, using common baby shower flowers.
I choose blue hydrangeas, cream lilies, cream roses, cream stock, seeded eucalyptus & added fresh sage that I tinted brownish copper. I then added curly willow, to give it a wild effect, that was also tinted brownish copper. I'm sure that the centerpiece was beautiful the day of the shower after the flowers had a chance to completely open.
This one was for a large dinning room table.
This was the coordinating piece that I designed for the kitchen table. Again I used a mass style of blue hydrangea and accented with the tinted sage & curly willow. This centerpiece needed to be much smaller to fit on a 60" round table.

Thanks for visiting me today! I just love blue hydrangeas, we had them growing in the yard when I was a child and I have several hydrangeas in my yard here in NC. Very pretty arrangement!
Beautiful arrangements! I love blue hydrangeas, they remind me of both of my grandmothers. They always had the most beautiful blue hydrangeas.
What a neat arrangement! Very unique. Hydrangeas are my favorite and with the additions like the curly willow and such - cool! Hope you had a Happy Blue Monday. I'm off to the TT post. See you there. ~ Robyn
