This effect is created by covering the top tier entirely with the blooms, and placing fewer and fewer on the bottom tiers. The choice of daisies, a decidedly old-fashioned flower, gives the simple, modern design a retro appeal. The cake's petite form gains presence when displayed on a footed cake stand. 01 of 08 Yellow and White Wedding Centerpieces Johnny Miller To create these bold yellow-and-white centerpieces, New York City floral designer Naomi deManana combined jonquils, ranunculus, tulips, and sweetpeas, placing flowers in single-variety mini bunches before combining; this highlights the lush textures of each type. Opaque vases mean no stressing about the look of the stems. A band of thick yellow ribbon around each vase, plus lengths of it across each place setting, extend the crisp color scheme. 02 of 08 Yellow and White Bouquet Johnny Miller Although kept in discrete groups, mimosa, jonquils, ranunculus, and tulips visually merge for a perfectly polished effect. Just arrange the blossoms into a round, even shape before cutting the stems, and -- presto! -- a bouquet that looks like the work of a pro. 03 of 08 Yellow and White Wedding Invitations Cards and invitations, ranging from playful to sophisticated.1.

White garden roses and yellow begonias add volume, while weigela leaves complement the color scheme. The stems, which are nestled in floral foam inside a footed compote, are cut to varying lengths, allowing for a loose symmetry. 06 of 08 Yellow and White Wedding Favors These pretty packages are true to the color scheme through and through.
