Accent on strawflower - learn to design with these unique blooms

#strawflowers #localflowers #floraldesign
Learn to design a flower arrangement featuring strawflower accents. While I design, I talk about all of the uses for strawflower. In addition to strawflower for this fresh arrangement, I use lisianthus, boxwood eucalyptus, marigold foliage, rudbeckia, celosia and roses.
My most common use for strawflowers are in personal flowers for weddings. They are perfect for boutonnieres, hair combs, head crowns and wrist corsages. Most important to me is their performance. They don't wilt. No matter how hot the day nor how long out of water strawflowers always looks the same. They're hearty. They can easily survive the dance floor and the crush of hugs throughout the event. I know I can depend on them.
