This is one of the prettiest center pieces I have seen! I love the use of color and texture, and I also love old teacup sets! With all the estate sales and resale shops, it would be easy to find so,e pretty sets, or even a good way to put some stray heirlooms to use, especially if cracked and no longer usable. I think the topiary look is quite elegant and would fit into many decorating styles. Thanks for sharing. This would be a nice group project!
