Lol!!! I am so indecisive .

For my flower arrangement I used a 30mm light Ivory wild rose and 25mm vintage pink roses, white Kort & Godt chysanthemums, white flower spray, marshmallow frosted berries, pomegranate apples and Vintage pearl pin "crown teardrop."

I painted a little white gesso over the flower arrangement.
