Flowers or Project #3

As mentioned previously, one of my 36 New Year's resolutions is to complete 36 projects (old or new) and/or learn a new skill. My dear, wonderful friend Bling is getting married and I was asked to do the centerpieces/ flower arrangements for her bridal shower. Mind you, I have never done flower arrangements. However, with a little help from my friends (thank you R&R), the idea and creation were born. I "wrapped" the inside of all the vases with hydrangea leaves and put the roses in the tall vases and the hydrangea in the small vases. When I was looking for small vases, I stopped by goodwill and found six for $0.49 a piece. I think they are scotch glasses but they made great vases. I also bought eight small picture frames and filled them with pictures of the happy couple.

I was a bit stressed about not finding the perfect color of flowers (her colors are purple, silver, black and white) so I went with pink roses and hydrangea and I loved how they turned out. 


Check off another completed project! Yay!
