A great flower option....

A great floral filler for arrangements and bouquets is Queen Anne's Lace...
As described by Taylor O'Shields (of The Place for Flowers) this flower is "very delicate and whimsical...a great filler that adds quite the vintage texture." Taylor advises that this flower "doesn't hold well on its own or out of water, so be sure to plan accordingly...use it in some type of bouquet or arrangement with a moist base."

Budget tip: I recall as a little girl, picking these flowers in fields and putting the freshly cut stems in food coloring to actually change the color of the flower as it absorbed the dye through the stems. For florals on a tight budget, try this idea and place in glass vases full of water for your centerpieces...a very inexpensive way to use florals and add fun splashes of color.
