Summer Exuberance

Take some blooms from the roadsides that dot the outskirts of this little town


Pastels


and bolds alike.


Combine them with some cultivated flowers from the garden . . .


daylily, coreopsis, verbena, cosmos, hydrangea . . .


Throw in some zinnias, nasturtium,strawflowers and whatever
else you come upon in the garden.


Gather some rustic conainers, like canning jars, and some ties, grosgrain
ribbon, raffia and hemp.


With a twist and turn of the hand, voila, a farmer's market inspired
wedding bridal bouquet, simply tied with a green grosgrain ribbon.


The exuberance of the bouquet makes me smile.


A couple more twists and turns yields a centerpiece, as equally exuberant as the bouquet.


A slightly larger arrangement.


The bouquet and centerpieces, posing on the lawn, much like a bride and her wedding party.


And, indoors.

Some ideas I have for a rustic wedding I've agreed to do in a couple of weeks. 
What do you think?
