Still life  
Still Life with Goldfish

 Most of my wedding centerpieces are like still lifes, with three containers of different heights at each table. I like things to be rich in texture but not busy, stimulating to look at but not exhausting. The way I achieve that is by arranging things tone on tone and including bouquets of single flowers alongside more elaborate creations. And the fish are the perfect accompaniment." This one includes parrot tulips, begonias, marigolds, rose hips, ash berries, arbutus balls, and bittersweet picked green.
