Winter blues setting in? Brighten up any room with a fresh bouquet of Tulips. Add a seasonal flare by adding evergreen clippings from your backyard. I added some soft and feathery Arborvitae clippings to contrast the coarse texture of the Tulip leaves. Spring is almost here, but in the meantime treat yourself to some flowers!
We all run out of time around the Holiday Season. Here is a tip on how to make a quick last minute Holiday centerpiece. Collect cuttings from evergreen shrubs/trees around the yard or use trimmings from your tree. For best results use a mixture of textures; Pine, Concolor Fir, Holly are shown. Cut them into 3-5″ lengths. Find your favorite vase, jar or bowl. To add a touch of nostalgic holiday spirit, use a family heirloom as a non-traditional vase. I used pewter goblet from my husband’s grandfather’s set. Soak a small cube of floral foam and start filling the vase! Keep filling until your case is overflowing. To add a pop of color, grab some berries or ribbon and place around the arrangement. I borrowed some berries from a holiday garland I already had. If your using ribbon, create a loop of ribbon and secure it to a toothpick for easy assembly into the arrangement.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for a Wonderful New Year! See you in the Spring!
Use Sweet Potato Vine as a simple and colorful filler for your summer bouquets.
