    Blushing Beauties

    Blousy pale tree peonies, Dutch garden roses, and charm-like bleeding hearts are made all the more vivid by the contrast of burgundy Japanese maple leaves. Tied with a silvery-brown silk ribbon, this sweet-smelling cascade exudes romance.

    Island Romance

    Sunny chartreuse and fiery red evoke the tropics in this exotic display of vivid philodendron and croton leaves, ruby peonies, tightly clustered euphorbias, and winding passionflower vine. All-green ranunculus and red-flushed maple seed pods continue the pleasant confusion between flowers and foliage. A bow is loosely tied with layered ribbons.

    An Armful of Peonies

    An abundant cascade of fluffy and fragrant 'Bowl of Cream' peonies is cradled by their giant, hearty leaves. To assemble the bouquet, arrange leaves among eight to ten flowers, wrap the bundled stems with wire, and cover with green florist tape. This ample, yet cloud-like arrangement is ready for a trip down the aisle.

    Glorious Peonies

    Large, open peonies settle into nests of twisted fern vines. Inside each basket is a shallow plastic bowl of water (for extra stability, use a wire grid to hold stems in place). A smaller nest atop the napkin at each place holds a more closed flower; its stem sits in a water tube concealed within the nest.

    Romantic Medley

    Fringed and parrot tulips set off by single peonies and sweet peas create a lavish centerpiece in coral-pink, orange, and cream. Stems are snipped to four inches and gathered in a wire frog to shape the mix in a footed porcelain bowl.

    Dreamy Bouquets: Beachcomber

    Cybister amaryllis burst from a cluster of abundant tree peonies that are the lustrous color of seashells. Airy astilbe fringe the edges. Vintage velvet ribbon drapes below the blooms.

    White Magic: Blushing Beauty

    A mound of fully open and fringed tulips, ruffly peonies, lilacs, and sweet peas is a collage of textures, with small blooms fluttering among larger ones above a vintage jacquard cuff. Pearl-knotted silk ribbons complete the picture.
