Yesterday, I had the honour of donating all of the centrepieces for the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Mental Health Association for Peel Region.
The organization's logo is green and white, and in keeping with that theme, we went with green spider mums and bright white carnations, with gypsilium for filler. We managed to deliver 27 centrepieces in total, and did this on a really reasonable budget(just under $1000). It just goes to show you, that carnations and baby's breath aren't evil after all (so long as they stay out of your hair, they smell and look beautiful on any table, and in most arrangements)...and they are so budget friendly, that they allow you to really pick a real star for a silhouette flower in your major pieces. If you like ranunculus, peonies, and mums, Carnations can usually be used at fractions of the cost, they are available all year round, and they create the same affect as the others, in every possible colour of the rainbow - and some mixes thereof too!!
Hope you love them, as much as I did. And I know that the group enjoyed them last evening (some even got snuck out the back door...wink, wink...). What a wonderful compliment it is to know that your centrepieces were nice enough to take home!
