Carnation

Carnations look fantastic when shaped into a large ball. You can use them to create oversized pomanders or kissing balls to decorate your reception. Hang a big globe of carnations in your favorite color from the ceiling of your venue for instant pizazz. Although kissing balls are usually thought of as being a more old-fashioned look, when done in tightly arranged carnations, they take on a fresh and modern appeal. This is a perfect accent for a bride who wants to add graphic elements to her wedding.
