Cruise through the produce section the next time you want to create a gorgeous floral arrangement and see what catches your eye
I am always drawn to radishes and swiss chard because of their complementary color contrast of green and pinky reds
To get the most bang in any composition whether you are arranging flowers, staging a vignette or making an artful composition, think about the color wheel
Colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel are complementary colors, they provide the strongest contrast when used together, and reinforce each other photo source
I used a mercury glass vase that my SIL gave me last Christmas [West Elm] and put the pink roses in the center
Next in went the swiss chard leaves around the roses
then kale to fill in the gaps
Radishes tucked in among the roses
In honor of Breast Cancer month, October, I created this centerpiece for my GO PINK table posting tomorrow
Be sure to stop by to see the whole table I am setting to honor some very special people in my life and to join Holly at Coconut Heads Survival Guide
