In late winter, there aren’t many chartreuse flowers or greenery to be harvested in the garden yet , except for the fabulous  hellebore and euphorbia.

However, blossoms of cymbidiums and  glads as well as hypericum berries, succulents and foliage of favorite houseplants like maidenhair and begonias, offer plenty of choice for chartreuse table arrangements at this time of the year.

Flower garlands embellish gazebos, archways, chuppas and partial walls beautifully.

They are striking centerpieces for long tables ; you can also hang small garlands on the chairs  the Bride and the Groom!

Lisa Marie, owner of Enchanted Corsets , invited me to provide bridal bouquets for the bridal fashion show that she organized earlier this month at the Lotus Seed Center in NE Portland.

She designs and sews the most detailed and creative corsets and pairs them with gorgeous skirts. The outfits were splendid!

Jamie Bosworth’s photography is exquisite, as always!
