Clematis: Just for Me!

I've been patiently waiting, literally day by day for at least a few clematis to bloom so I could make an arrangement! I've been waiting for them since I cut them back in winter! But they are just too lovely to stay mad at. And even these garden varieties have pretty strong stems for foam!


Strawflower, begonia foliage, ferns, curly willow

Beautiful Weather

It has just been too nice out to not take advantage of working outside with these beautiful materials!


Making huge bridal bouquets definitely takes some muscle and maneuvering!
