Bird Cages and Wax Flowers

Some of you have been over to my place to behold the preparations for this past weekend’s bridal shower.  In honor of the bride (who is more of an enthusiast about everything than I; true story), I’ve hid the fixings from your sweet eyes.  Alas, the shower has come and gone and now I can share.  My aim with the ensemble of decorations? Wildflowers, birds, and freedom—soft (but not too soft) and strong.  The flowers were spray miniature roses intermixed with wax flowers.  Wax flowers are delightful little fillers—they appear to be a cousin of rosemary, with strong branches and thin, fragrant leaves.  Nothing is ever as perfect as one’s imagination—at least when there is a budget.  But, overall, I was pleased and the guests seemed to enjoy the setting.
