There is no better way to celebrate four years than having your husband call your friend of Quite Contrary Flowers to make a floral arrangement of blue hydrangeas (the flower symbolizing four years, and one of the wedding flowers) and baby’s breath.
And, when the hydrangeas start to die off, just gather the baby’s breath and put in a cream vase and you have another romantic arrangement.

I am in love with ornamental greens and succulents. Luckily, so is the rest of Grand Rapids. This means my friend has copious varieties to choose from, like this gorgeous, green cabbage.
