Understated Elegance

Floral designer Amy Osaba kept the color palette clean and neutral for this baby shower she designed in Atlanta. Using a variety of plant materials and vessels, Osaba was able to pull off an elegant, high-end look while keeping costs down. Take some of her floral ideas—including low-cost vessels and arrangements with impact—to heart when planning your next event.

Keep It Simple

Don't have an enormous budget? Flowers and plants are their own rock stars and don't need a lot of embellishment. Succulents in small terra cotta pots, individual stems of flowers or garden herbs placed in simple glass jars you collect over time can create a lovely, ethereal quality when used as centerpieces.

Romantic Bouquet

A color palette of white, green and gray and white ranunculus and roses keep this baby shower bouquet looking refined and not too fussy.

Little Things Mean a Lot

You don't have to spend a fortune on flowers. Just use them wisely, mix up your display and think outside the bouquet.
