Raspberry-Pink Peony-Style Roses in a Hatbox

Vivid raspberry pink carries through from the roses to the hatbox, while blush carnations soften the colour combination. Three large peony-style roses form the main accents with their open, layered petals. Smaller flowers and buds on a spray rose stem fill the spaces between them, adding details to appreciate up close.

Three carnations bring ruffled petals, while rounded eucalyptus leaves contrast with the richly coloured blooms. Slight differences in height keep the roses visible and allow the foliage to extend beyond the flowers. Pale crinkled paper frames the arrangement, and the pink box and long translucent ribbons complete the palette.

Choose this arrangement for a romantic date, a friend’s birthday or a surprise for your mother. Place the hatbox on a table or dresser away from direct sunlight and radiators. If the flowers are set in floral foam, keep it moist by carefully adding water between the stems without wetting the cardboard box.
