Silverleaf protea is only available for a couple of months during the winter at the flower market. It is a favorite – each stem has dozens of soft leaves that are perfect to layer to make fascinators or any kind of wearables.

The fascinator was decorated with pieris, rex leaf begonia, bromeliad, kangaroo paws and deconstructed cymbidium orchids.

For the base of the necklace, I used the silverleaf and decorated it with deconstructed cymbidium orchids, kangaroo paws, pieris and seastar fern.

The grey tillandsia xerographica leaf chimes infor the grey accent. Gorgeous alocasia leaves are decorated with cymbidium orchids, kangaroo paws, succulents and ming fern.
