This is an arrangement I made at work the other day. Florists love peony season, they are huge (the flower, not the florist-mostly!) and will give you a good focal point in an arrangement for a fairly inexpensive price. We are always looking for more bang for the buck!
A Garden Arrangment
This arrangement was made in a clear glass cylinder vase and includes peonies, green hydrangeas, roses and dahlias. I needed some extra greenery so I cut a few fronds from a fern. The style of the shop where I work is very low and lush, we do mostly corporate work, so they must fit easily on a desk. With a low vase, you have less chance of tipping the vase and ruining your keyboard. And that’s a good thing!
I am a floral designer living in a tiny condo in downtown Toronto, Canada's largest city. But on the weekend, I am a gardener/frustrated architect trying to keep up with a 3/4 acre garden in Owen Sound, Ontario, a warm (to Canadians, Zone 5b, and a cold (to Americans, Zone 4b) garden.

The peony arrangement is absolutely breathtaking… I’m arranging lots of flowers for the church when my son gets married in October. We are doing paper cones from embossed wallpaper on the ends of the pews filled with fall arrangements… wish me luck!

Good luck with the wedding, it can be a lot of fun arranging the flowers, and it can be stressful. What kind of flowers are you using?
