This weekend I'm doing the flowers for a grand opening of a custom bridal shop in Old Colorado City. It's an italian themed event because the owner is from Italy! When I think of Italy, I think of rich colors, architecture, unforgettable smells and flavors.  I have decided to create an arrangement that express those things. I'm going to use flowers in burgundy and puples and add some fun texture-artichokes. They will add beautiful color contrast and a different texture. I am so excited to go shopping for the flowers. 

Whether you are planning a special event or wedding, try making the flower arrangements more interesting by using something unusual that adds texture and interest. It's always fun to add something that represents you as well!

  Aren't these so pretty! I love their coloring!
