Inspiration?

This weekend I had the pleasure of making wedding bouquets for a photo shoot, such fun to let loose and have free reign over the design and materials. Lots of interesting bits used, including salmone roses, privot berry, old fashioned geranium leaves and flowers, a giant dahlia (that I have proudly grown), wild grasses, maiden hair fern, hyacinth and thai basil! I knew I had this unusual colour scheme in mind - deep red, purples, chocolate and a salmon pink/apricot, but it wasn't till someone asked me what my inspiration was that I paused to think and realised.... I'd seen the colours and loved them on this little Poppies for Grace card that I'd purchased a while back. Funny how the mind works, obviously had that little bit of inspiration tucked deep in my thoughts and it was waiting to burst out in the form of a fresh floral posy!
