Some close-ups of the flowers, greenery and do-dads that were used in my final floral presentation last week.... The glittery curly stuff I found at Michaels (I think it was 50% off AND I had a coupon for an additional 25% off....can't beat that!!).
Since I was going for a traditional design I stuck with piney-greens and while flowers. I love mums, pretty much any type of mum is my favorite. I included carnations for mass - they're such a solid flower. If I were to do design a piece like this again, I would use ONLY mums as they will last and last and last. Right now some of the carnations are starting to go a bit brown on the very outer edges.
I didn't want anything red - just wanted a pretty wintery feel to it. I had a couple of silver-painted pine cones and they turned out to be nice little accents (and they were "free" as I repurposed them from a display that we won in a raffle a couple of months ago!!).
And here's the display in all of its glory.....while it's not my taste, I'm pleased with it.....and it will be on our table INSIDE....hey, we might even dine by candlelight........
Toodles for now...
