Pumpkins and cabbages

I always thought of the cabbage as the most boring vegetable - the one that took up more space in the fridge than was rightly owed to it.

It never occurred to me how utterly beautiful it could be...

in a vase – its leaves resemble petals washed in purples and faded whites...

and even pumpkins can look so stunning...

laid out on a silver platter...


or stacked on top of each other...

or on its own...

If I had to plan my wedding again, maybe (just maybe) the tables would look like this…


covered in faded European linens and white lace, silver goblets and antique cutlery, embroidered napkins and greenery at each place setting...and...cabbages...yes, BEAUTIFUL cabbages would make for gorgeous centrepieces.
