White 'Cup and Saucer' Wedding Flower Arrangement

This is a dainty little arrangement, made in a cup and saucer. When making such an arrangement, the size and colouring of the cup and saucer used must be taken into account, and small flowers which echo the colouring must be chosen.

For this design, I have used a small piece of floral foam, which fits neatly into the cup, and is around 1" taller than the rim of the cup. I have chosen a posy-style design, which is suited to the shape of the cup and saucer. Small foliage was selected, and this was Hebe, Anthriscus sylvestris (Cow Parsley) and Hedera helix (Ivy). Flowers used were in pink and white colours, to match the pink design on the white cup and saucer, and these were white spray Carnations which were the focal flowers, and small spring flowers - Heucherella "Viking Ship", with spikes of small pink flowers, Diosma "Pink Fountain" with dainty spikes of pale pink star-shaped flowers, white Anthriscus sylvestris (Cow Parsley), and green spikes of Tellima grandiflora.

This arrangement can be used as table centerpieces for wedding ceremonies.
