Video: Unique, Bright Flowers for Summer Wedding Arrangements
I wanted to share an arrangement with an ingredient I’ve been anticipating all year long: Turk’s cap lilies!
Have you seen them before? I heard about them last year, but naturally, right after they were finished blooming. I’ve been waiting for July ever since!
I’ve paired the lilies with lots of other beautiful ingredients so you can keep your flower variety knowledge growing. I also went with a crazy bright color palette and tall shape—doing something different is refreshing and fun!
I hope this unique, bright summertime arrangement inspires you to get outside and put together something that is different than anything else you’ve ever made.
