I had a lovely time at the flower market this morning, wandering the aisles to select a few bright and bold bunches of the seasons’ finest. Renny and I have a photo shoot tomorrow and I’ll be putting together just a few modest arrangements to liven our setting. I do have to admit {as long as my workload allows!} I always love an excuse to play with flowers.
Here are just a few of the beauties before I start to design:
As I’m sure I’ve previously mentioned, ruffly ranunculus are a brides’ favorite…It truly seems everyone loves them! Here I’ve selected sunny yellow and rich magenta.
Ranunculus are absolutely beautiful right now and will continue to be in top shape for another month or two. Beyond that, prices will increase and you’ll have to sacrifice on quality a bit.
A less common late winter/early spring flower is Mimosa – it has a very short window of availability. The fluffy yellow cutie puff-ball-like flower has a completely unique scent. Almost a muddled sweetness.
Beautiful fuchsia garden roses will only last a day or two…perfect for tomorrows shoot – but always a disappointment when they drop their petals so soon. The powerful fragrance is intoxicating.
I’m taking these vibrant, seasonal blooms as a bit of inspiration, I’m hopeful that spring is around the corner…
