Spring Floral Arrangement

I had a wonderful group of women attend a floral workshop last weekend and we made lovely spring- time bouquets. They went home with gorgeous arrangements filled with tulips, scabiosa, veronica, roses, sweet peas and dogwood branches.   As always, I had extra flowers (I find it very difficult to not over buy when I'm at the SF Flower Mart--like a kid in a candy shop!) so here's my spring, dutch inspired arrangement. 

Started with coated chicken wire inside a sage green urn.


Added the dogwood branches first which provides an "outline" for the arrangement

Next came camellia leaf--so pretty with buds!

...then dusty miller and ceanothus...

and finally tulips, scabiosa, roses and purple sweet peas.
