I thought that my Lenox porcelain ‘Daffodil’ vase would be nice to hold white daffodils and a few other white flowers currently in my garden for a soft, romantic look. Which led me to remember that this is wedding season.

Then, I realized that it is our own (32nd!) wedding anniversary this week, something we tend to celebrate with little fanfare. I dug out the Lenox porcelain swan that was our cake topper to display along side the arrangement.

For our wedding day, it had a small floral arrangement in it, which looked lovely, but with the floral foam soaked in water, it ended up being too heavy for the top tier of the cake, so had to be displayed in front of the cake instead! Luckily, the caterer’s quick-thinking saved the day, by taking a few blossoms from the table arrangements and artfully decorating the top of the cake.
