If it were me I''d ask for black magic roses, dark red peonies, DARK burgundy mini callas, green hygrangea, green denrobium orchid sprays, and either green or red amaranthus, white dendrobiums. Then I''d ask them to mix those in with some less expensive flowers like green kale which is a lovely bright color and looks rose like, some white spider mums, some white, red or green hypericum berries, green china berries, bright green button mums,  dark dark red dalias and ranunculous.

Lots of flowers to choose from.


I love the addition of fruits to centerpieces they take up a nice amount of space and aren''t expensive so granny smith apples or bright green pears would be fabulous.  Here goes.

I have a bunch and have to do them one by one so just stay tuned.

This is bouquet a particular favorite of mine... it''s a red flower that is really Christmasy, and only avialable at that time of the year amarylis. The bouquet isn''t a DARK red, but you could add in some dark callas if and do black magic red roses, instead of the amazon roses in this bouquet. I would only use the Amarylis them for your bouquet if you like them they can get pricey. Potted Amarylis would make lovely centerpieces too,BTW.
