What really surprised me was that Rick took this container from our home in to have the arrangement made specifically for the vase.
For any of you who may be flower lovers and want the details, the foliage inside the vase is cast iron plant.
We have a ton of this planted at the base of our David Austin rose and you better believe I will be storing this idea for later use.
In addition to the white hydrangeas, I love the spikes of willow which add to the drama making this such a striking arrangement.

How sweet of your husband! Beautiful arrangement.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty arrangement! Pussy willow and hydrangea are a lovely combination. I use hosta leaves to line my containers also for special events... now if they'd only start growing this spring!!!! ~KIM @ Sand & Sisal

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet husband and beautiful arrangement!
I am no flower arranger {that's for sure} but took a class one time and learned so much in just one hour. It really is an artform that I have a whole new respect for. Such a pretty arrangement.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Love the arrangement!
