Would you like to see how my pampas grass circular arch was assembled?

I had the absolute pleasure of working with a couple who is awaiting the arrival of their very first baby.  My clients wanted to have their fine art maternity session on top of a mountain near Washington, D.C.  So a mountain is where we went. 

While planning their maternity session in D.C., I wanted to take the creativity up a notch.  I’ve been seeing a gorgeous trend go around lately using pampas grass to style sessions and even displayed in home décor.  I love using colors and foliage actually found in nature to style my sessions so a pampas grass theme for this project was calling my name.

I went around to all of my local home décor stores and cleared out their dried natural aisles.  I collected all the pampas grass, wheat, and palms I could find and assembled them onto a 7 ft. circular arch that I found on Amazon.  Since my client was wearing a red gown I decided to purchase some dried roses to accent the design and coordinate with her outfit.
