Floral Arrangements |

|
To complement the pink theme, Nik works with smaller arrangements
of roses and a centrepiece of large hydrangeas blooms. He chose
small julep cups and a silver cream and sugar set to use as vessels
for his blushing floral arrangements, illustrating the point that
just about any favourite container can flatter your flowers.
