my allies





I recently spotted the a tres chic and modern flower arrangement which contained what I would call huge purple pom poms. I now realise they are otherwise known as Allium. They vary in colour from pinks to purples to whites and blues. They have beautiful strong, long thick stems and as well as making gorgeous centrepieces, you could get your bridesmaids to hold a single stem with ribbon or raffia wrapped around it as a striking alternative to a bouquet. I will warn you though - these flowers are from the garlic family and do have a slight whiff of onion about them - but don't let that put you off too much...
