Friday Flowers: Sweet Pea

We’re closing out the week with the first of a new series of posts here at Elizabeth Anne Designs: Friday Flowers! I think there’s really nothing better than leaving for the weekend with a beautiful selection of flowers to look at, right? For our first edition, we’re going to be featuring the sweet and ruffly sweet pea! In pinks, whites, or purples, each shade is just as lovely as the next and oh boy do they smell divine.

They are sweet and simple by themselves as a centerpiece:

Delicate, ruffled, and oh-so-charming, sweet peas look precious alone or can add lush texture to a larger arrangement.
