A Green Composition

Leftover flowers after a wedding usually means two things:

1.) we get to make someone really happy with an unexpected arrangement or
2.) we get to play and experiment with bouquets and boutonnieres

After last Saturday's wedding, we found ourselves with a few vases of sweet pea, hydrangea, coxcomb, and roses. We set forth with some ideas of an emerald green bridesmaid dress in mind, along with a vintage (but quirky) feel, and incorporating the newest color trend of gray. Here's what we made:
1st row {berzillia on a capiz shell | dresses by jenny yoo | sweet pea pin-on with coxcomb collar}
2nd row {coxcomb & manzanita boutonniere| dogwood with berzillia pods | sweet pea bouquet}
3rd row {hydrangea bouquet | green hydrangea flowergirl posy | table # by www.papeteriestore.com}
