Check out this tutorial on dying carnations - perfect for your Memorial Day Weekend. Take some white carnations, put them in cups or vases with red and blue food dye and see what happens! Click here for the details from Make and Takes. As an added bonus - someone responded to the post and suggested splitting the stem of the carnation in half or quarters and then putting each piece of the stem into different colored water to get multi-colored flowers. This could be a fun little experiment to do with your kids.

Founds some new (at least to me) beautiful pictures of unique bouquets on Martha Stewart's Wedding website today. Gorgeous Inspiration!
I have seen more and more of these beautiful roses. According to MS, this is Michael George's signature bridal bouquet - the Couture Rose. It is made by removing the petals from a bunch of roses and then wiring them into one bloom - 6 to 7 inches across.
Some unique additions in the bouquets above. In the first one, herbs - thyme, rosemary and sage - compliment the lily of the valley, grape hyacinth, scented-geranium foliage, and lamb's ear. And in the second one, small shells work their way into pink bouquet.
Succulents, succulents, succulents! They are everywhere, and I love them! What a beautiful combination with the orchids and ranunculus.
One flower bouquets here - carnations, anemones, and calla lillies!
