Color My World - Final Exam

I was inspired to color my world, by creating a tea party, which took place in my dream cottage, with all my friends and great conversation! I designed a large vase arrangement that would be used as the table centerpiece. The display board was painted with a window frame and branches to provide the country theme. The particular vase was chosen because it had a more rustic and vintage appeal. Overall, I wanted the arrangement to look as natural and colorful as possible, just like I had gone through a field and picked flowers for tea time! Cheers!
Recipe: hydrangea, bells of ireland, thistle, monte cassino, billy button, seeded eucalyptus, protea, bupleurum, eucalyptus, peony, waxflower, lilac, and lisianthus.
