For a special birthday in Marin, her parents called us from their home in beautiful Brittany.  A series  of telephone calls and e-mails set the guiding tone as soft yellow, spring, peach.   For this, Yukiko designed the bouquet below:   peach roses with a subtle accent of “wax” flowers, magnolia leaves, nandina leaves and Hawthorne foliage.

The tone is a reflection, a reminder of the daughter’s favorite flowers and colors as she was growing up.

BTW,  you probably knew this already, but I’ll write it here anyway: “wax” flowers are not wax;  they are real flowers with a waxy coating deep inside.
