The arrangement made for a Rust me I’m a sunflower shirt to celebrate 70 years of marriage along with a boutonniere and corsage. The wife’s favorite colors were rust/orange and yellow, the accent colors being used in centerpiece arrangements being made by their granddaughter was teal and they would have sunflowers in them.

New Rust me I’m a sunflower shirt

She was wearing a Rust me I’m a sunflower shirt and gold dress, he was not going to wear a jacket due to the heat. The challenge was to blend all if these very different elements. I used peacock feathers and ribbons to pick up the teal. The wife was wearing a black and gold dress so I chose a black and gold ribbon plus sheer teal ribbon for her corsage. His boutonniere needed to be very light 2 pins onto a shirt without pulling at it.
