Succulents, moss and shades of lilac

Managed to make time in between meetings with my brides this week for a little creativity.


I ordered Memory Lane roses (lavender blue-pink colour) and thought this would team well with astrantia in a deeper shade of pink. This offsets the slight colour of the sweetest echiveria plants I was wanting to use. To lighten the posy I used spring hellebores - decadent I know, as not the longest lasting flower but a total jewel and for some depth of colour I bought almost black anemones, which are only now just opening on my table. I had wanted to include my favourite spanish moss with its curly grey trails, a pretty dianthus which mimics a sweet pea and to finish off some green jasmine trails. The result was gorgeous, and these photos (taken with iphone) dont really do it justice...

Here you can see the spanish moss, dianthus, echiverea well, unfortunately the deep anemone is almost hidden but it accents well with these colours
..you can see what I mean about TEXTURE, MOSS and recessive colours...
