Everyone needs Practice...

I had a few Ideas that I really wanted to try so I thought I'd use a few of the left over flowers from this past weekends wedding and give it a whirl. I had Yarrow, hydrangea and a cream rose to work with.

I used both a blue and a clear runner vase as well as a short wide-neck Waterford crystal vase.

These really feel very "english Garden" to me and I love them!



These are the Blue and Clear runner vases. I think these would be fantastic as place settings and or faovrs for guests. I worked with a bride last june and we did round versions with 8 very small vases all wired together into a "posey ring" for her favors!



This is the Waterford design. I would like to see a larger version of this for a brides bouquet, obviously cleaned up of course, ad some more roses. I also like this as a small low centerpiece.





I love that the Hydrangia and the Yarrow (varied in color) are all from a local grower! I think that the yarrow really brings in the essence of early summer


I think this would be lovely on a table as a centerpiece and then the runner vase as a place setting. What a lovely pair!

Now please take to heart that I put these together in about 15 min, and the flowers were 2 days old and had not been kept in a cooler because they were the left overs and I wasn't sure what I would do with them, not to mention obviously if they were the ones left, they were not my top choice because I won't use anything that I don't consider "top Choice" for my weddings!

The runner vases I have always available to me, my mom makes them! This is just a few of the glass pieces that I was speaking about earlier from the farmers market!
