Elegant White Flower Centerpieces


The simple color scheme of this inviting table setting gives the entire room a sophisticated appeal.

Pale aqua is paired with creamy white to stunning effect, from the tablecloth, to the dishes, to the show-stopping giant flower centerpieces that capture attention and imagination.

Oversized stemless white paper roses, and large white paper peonies perfectly complement each other and dress this long table uniformly.  Set as they are down the entire center, they sit low so as not to obstruct a view or impede conversation, making a perfect bridal or engagement party table centerpiece.
 Large roses alternate with smaller peonies in the same color but a different texture and style, creating a grouping of components that are similar, yet not the same.  Gorgeous!

Paper Daisy Rainbow Row


A fantastic "Rainbow Row" of large paper daisies -- whimsical, magical, colorful flowers in simple galvanized metal French flower buckets.

Imagine these decorating a spring or flower themed party, indoors or out. Two different sizes were used here, and complementary colors were grouped together for the rainbow effect.

Mix and match, or coordinate with your own party colors to create a stunning display!

"Wall Flower" Bedroom

 

This funky "Wallflower" bedroom is bursting with vibrant color and life.

The color scheme started with a hot pink and orange patterned bedspread. From
there, two contrasting wall colors were chosen -- bright orange and a pale pink. Orange was painted on three walls, and the focal or accent wall was painted pale pink.


Next, unique flower designs were stenciled onto the pale pink accent wall, and even on the white wooden blinds, which you can see when the blinds are closed. Hot pink, orange, yellow and even lime green were blended together, and flowers were layered on top of each other for an interesting effect.

 What really makes this room pop, however are the 3-dimensional paper "wallflowers" that are hung amid the stenciled ones. Made from vividly dyed thick paper, these are not your typical wallflowers, content to fade into the background -- instead they practically jump off the wall and demand to be noticed. The flower heads used were daisies and peonies, in similar orange, magenta, pink and yellow tones.

 
The finishing touches include a reproduction European sign which reads "Marche aux Fleurs" (which is French for Flower Market),

orange and pink accent pillows to coordinate with the patterned bedspread, and a floral fabric suspended light fixture.

Wallflower or not, it's a room any girl would love.
