I knew I’d be shooting our new arc lamp so I wanted to do the flowers in our awesome $5 junk store brass vase. The trouble is, the shape and size is a bit odd and I never really know how to do it justice. My solution was to take the vase to our local flower shop (The Flower Room) and let them figure it out. I told Helen what colours I wanted and how much I wanted to spend ($30) and left her to it. The result is gorgeous as usual–Mike especially loves the dogwood.

The moral of the story is, if you’ve got a lovely but challenging vase, save yourself the headache and let the florist do what they do best. You’re paying for the flowers anyway, you may as well have them specially tailored.
