“No Carnations” Part 2

If you missed Part I you can see it here.

We still hold firm that carnations are fabulous. We particularly recommend them for weddings because of their texture and diverse colors.

Carnations make great pomander balls (top) to hang on chairs during the ceremony or even carried down the aisle as bridesmaid’s bouquets (bottom). Would you even think these were carnations??

Here we have carnations arranged as topiaries. Adding accents like branches and marbles can really make the difference in styling. This look is so unique, no one would dare think “yuck, carnations”. – Also perfect for bridal and baby showers.

All carnation bouquets have been quite popular in recent years. Mixing three different colors keeps the bouquet cohesive, yet bright. Starting at just $40, this option is perfect for the budget bride.

Carnations also fill in altar pieces well. It helps close the holes without taking attention away from focal flowers.

Also great in centerpieces, carnations can be designed simple and modern (top) or elegant and soft (bottom). With so much versatility, you can’t go wrong in selecting carnations for a centerpiece.
