Jewel Bouquet

Posted by Melissa Peterson on

I wanted to try making a jewel-tone bouquet of deep reds. I pretty much have every color palette under the sun growing here at the farm… so why not give it a try. Featured in this bouquet are dahlias, zinnias, celosia, amaranth, gomphrena and then millet, basil, ornamental kale, love-in-a-puff and scented geranium for foliage. I love using these “compote” vases.IMG_9129IMG_9133IMG_9136IMG_9144IMG_9151IMG_9158IMG_9160IMG_9161

What’s your favorite color palette to use in a bouquet?
