Why make things hard on yourself when something simple and easy is just as chic and pretty? Laid-back and undone, there’s just something elegant about wildflowers loosely clustered in a rustic urn. Bright yellow ones will liven up any country kitchen or rustic breakfast buffet table.

Vivid Reds

Despite the monochromatic appearance, this vibrant display is anything but mundane. Spikey protea, soft ranunculus, and feathery dahlia bring tons of texture to your Thanksgiving table. The cherry red tones of the flowers even play off the colors of the juicy pie filling and cranberry turkey garnishes.
