What is one to do when the only flowers available are a multi-coloured mix from the check-out aisle at the grocery store?
It can be a conundrum.
I like to make the best of it by separating out the whites into their own bouquet.
In this case I joined them with 3 roses that if left in the colourful vase would have not had nearly as much impact.
To further differentiate the final results I cut down the second group dramatically and put them in a much shorter vase.
Now who would guess that each bouquet came from a standard, brash check-out arrangement, would you?

I really like the whites and reds together, Derek. I've noticed color combinations tend to show up several times the same week, oddly. The other bouquet is more eclectic and has a California feel, probably because of the Eucalyptus.
ReplyDeleteI do have a soft spot for while flowers as well...I suppose that's why I planted a whole Moon Garden!
DeleteAnd I like the look of the second one more - isn't it interesting to see how differently things turn out when you change the constituent parts?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is fun to play with this particular type of bouquet since every once in a while we have one in the house and I always have to separate some out and spread them around.
