The helleborus is a very versatile flower, says Todd Hausman, senior floral designer at Peachtree Petals. They grow well in all soil types and bloom for several months. The greenish flowers look nice when arranged with almost any other plants. They also can bloom with a burgundy cast.

The blue hydrangea conjures images of the New England seascape, says Julie Sullivan of Winston Flowers. Their fluffy, dense nature works well as a centerpiece. If you're dining outside, pair the flowers with a scoop of grass and a white tablecloth for a great look.
