Similar Hues

Small arrangements of one kind of flower are ideal for the novice. If you are seeking a more dramatic effect, try a grouping of them in similar hues. These range from pink to red and are all in silver containers to create a cohesive feeling.

Ideal spot: A dramatic mass of a single color is perfect for a dinner party when you know guests will linger. Keep the display low so the conversation isn’t inhibited.
