New colour inspiration

As the year progresses I start to ponder new colour combinations. This year I find myself tiring of the faded vintage colours that have been so popular and looking for a more vibrant colourway.
I'm loving peridot, amethyst and aquamarine as predicted by the great Martha Stewart.
Aquamarine is not really a flower colour but is easily added as an accent by using ribbon, a table cloth or label.

Here we used a screen covered with aqua coloured  muslin and edged with green braid. The table is also covered in muslin. Green glass jars filled with Ocean song and avalanche roses. Small glass bottles with lupins and sweet peas in lilac and purple (amethyst)    

Brassicas and sweet peas in glasswear with amethyst glass paperweights.
  


Small glass bowls of 'wimbledon' 'ocean song' roses aster lisianthus and tanecetum.
