This post is a little belated, but I figure if it helps someone conceptualize their design, it's worth putting up!

For 4th of July we had to get creative since traditional gatherings and beaches were not possible. We rented this gorgeous property through Peer Space and it overlooked the hills and beach in Pacific Palisades.

Ingredients:

- Poke Weed (acts as greenery base)

- Hybrid Delphinium in purple

- Sweet Pea in purple and pink

I wish you could smell this picture! Sweet Pea is delightful in-person.

General Instructions: (very simple!)

1) Layer everything to your liking on a work table: Start with the poke weed as your base, then add the delphinium since it's also long and has buds along the stem.

2) Once you're happy with the placement, wire the stems together!

*I used water tubes for the delphinium since they're a little more heat-sensitive.

3) Conceal the water tubes by wrapping large leaves around them.

4) Adhere the garland to the swing.

5) Add all the sweet pea, tucking them into the already established wires.

*Be sure to conceal all the wires and mechanics!
