Pincusion Protea . They add lots of texture and depth to any arrangement.  Even if you were not looking for a tropical feeling to your wedding or event these cute little guys can be mixed in with roses and callas.

Protea are very long lasting.  In fact they will probably dry right in your arrangement.  Their “petals” are a very waxy stem and create the “pincushion” or urchin. 

I love mixing the unexpected in with the traditional.  A true floral designer has a vision after just hearing the color scheme and venue!  Plus being able to take inspiration from what a bride provides is an absolute must!
