Inspiration from the LA County Fair

The Mendoza Family goes every year to this event. We usually watch pig races, Chinese Acrobats, do some wine and beer tasting, shopping, etc. There's a lot to do there! This year in the Home and Garden section, the theme was "Escape to Hawaii," and there were all sorts of very pretty and interesting floral designs. I took a whole bunch of photos which can be found on my wedding photo sharing website

I have a few ideas about my flowers. I know that I want the protea to be the main feature. I want burgundy to be the main color surrounded by shades of pink to dark red. I wouldn't mind a few green fillers like ferns or leaves. Other than that I have no clue what I am going to do.

Here are a few photos I'd like to highlight:

Here are proteas and red plants.


These are really small anthuriums.


I don't know what this is, but it's really pretty.


I'm still trying to collect little bits here and there to get a better idea of what flowers combination would look nice and still keep within our sparkling tropical theme.
