The Veiled Lady

This centerpiece was made for an afternoon birthday party. It consisted of yellow roses, tigerlillies, white hydrangea, and bear grass draped across the piece. I call it the veiled lady because it reminds me of a birdcage veil on a hat and the bear grass on top looks like the feather in the ladies hat.
