I talked before about using baby’s breath for your flowers because their inexpensive and look nice in bunches. But I really like these carnations too. They always seem to get treated like the bad apple of of the bunch, but really they’re not bad. Just like baby’s breath, if used in deliberate ways instead of just afterthoughts, carnations can look just as nice as any other flower. And since they come in a bunch of different colors, they’re way more versatile than the baby’s breath.

I just did a post last week about carnations and milk glass inspired by Eddie Ross. He made me think twice about carnations. http://delightedheart.blogspot.com/2009/03/pink-carnations.html

I’ve always hated carnations but when they are tightly bunched together they look really good!

Really enjoying your blog! Found this on another blog and its such a beautiful to use just one blossom per table.

Carns cut short and packed together, do look wonderful. They look their absolute best when used that way. The circle w/the “M” looks more like hydrangeas than carns tho.
