Flowers in Vintage Tea Cups

I recently had a customer bring me a bunch of vintage tea cups. She was going to give them as gifts and wanted them filled with flowers. I have always wanted to try this as I think it would be a lovely Mother's day gift or beautiful for a bridal shower tea party.

(orange spray roses, skimmia, witch hazel)

Autumn dahlia bouquet

This colourful and bold bouquet full of maple leaves and dahlias is earthy and rustic, and is sure to satisfy all those flower people who love orange, red and fall! Enjoy the autumn inspiration........

Zinnias

I am so excited to have picked my first bouquet of zinnias from the garden the other day! My mother-in-law has generously let me use some space in her raised beds to try growing some flowers. I planted poppies, cosmos, dahlias and zinnias. 

I was hoping to see more pinks than oranges but am still happy with the varieties so far. If one had the space, these would be a fun flower to grow for a colorful August wedding.
