Lots of roses!

Buy lots of roses in the color palette you enjoy. Look for English roses - they have more petals and would really make your garden magical!
Lavender

Lavender is whimsical and there are many varieties from Spanish lavender, French and fernleaf. My personal favorite is fernleaf lavender.
Pastel colored florals

English gardens are filled with lots of colors, but to get a cohesive look, stick with pastels. I prefer pink, and lavender with pops of white and pink to keep my garden palette cohesive.

Use bamboo for support stakes

Have different heights and widths if you need to support your artichokes or tomatoes.
